Well the ole’ Pit Boss is out of here today… I gave it to Natalie’s boss to make room on the patio for my new Traeger. It was a good ole grill, had it for over 5 years (I know because it had a 5 year warranty) and I used that warranty A LOT><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I just replace the igniter today before I handed it off, it was only $18 for a pair of them. (But this time I had to pay for them) Warranty – expired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use Sirius XM’s ‘Classical Studyscape’ – Classical music for focus. It seems to intensify my ability to concentrate and retain what I am studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Listening to classical music while reading or studying can aid concentration, memory, and relaxation.

The absence of lyrics in classical music means there are fewer distractions compared to other genres, allowing you to immerse yourself in the text or your writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Music has the ability to influence mood. Classical music can evoke feelings of calmness and positivity, which may enhance creativity and productivity. Some studies suggest that listening to classical music can improve cognitive functions, potentially aiding in tasks that require deep thinking and analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact Tad Brooker tad@thebrookers.com with any comments, or questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well the ole’ Pit Boss is out of here today… I gave it to Natalie’s boss to make room on the patio for my new Traeger.
