Many of you may have heard of the extensive flooding here in Colorado. Damage was severe here in Loveland, and the rain has not stopped. This link takes you to a slide show that shows but a small portion of the damage.

But we've been very fortunate in our section of town, and one never knows when the power might go out. So it was time to lower the freezer inventory, configure for wet wx opns (as Mr. Pannell might say), and make some tri-tip.

Our patio, thankfully undamaged.

Tri-tip defrosted and rubbed in olive oil and Susie Q.



On the gasser, since it's better sheltered from the wind and rain. I used some mesquite chunks in an aluminum pan in an attempt to maintain my feeble smoking cred.



Time to pull it off.


Resting.



Sliced.



Plated, with fresh frozen green beans, homemade Mexican rice, and sautéed mushrooms.



It was nice to celebrate our relative good fortune without having to leave the house. Travel is difficult, as you might imagine.
 
Chris, you have been blessed in more ways than you can imagine!
if your avatar hosts your children and your cooking skills can continually, successfully, produce Tri Tips as above... nothing can stop you!

a Wonderful post! God Bless you!

Jim pretty well said it best....
 
Thanks for the extremely kind words, folks. Jim, you are correct in assuming that my avatar is a picture of my kids. Peter and Alexa just turned eight last week. They have a fondness for their old man's tri-tip, bratwurst and spare ribs. And while they are concerned about their friends who have been displaced by the floods, they are also enjoying some unexpected time off the rigors of second grade. School may resume tomorrow, but at least one elementary school is completely unreachable.
 
Incredible pictures and my thoughts and prayers are for all those affected by these rains. Great cook Chris; tri tip done just right. Thank you for sharing.
 
Nice looking TT and sides. Stay safe, and my thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the flooding!!
