James Loveless​


March 11, 1963 — June 14, 2023​


Somerset​


Born and raised in Kentucky in 1963-a state that has been recently leaning toward more liberal values, we might add–Jamie, a divorcee, father, grandfather and proud owner of a few lots in the trailer park, had had enough and up and died on us on June 14th in order to avoid another Presidential stolen-election mishap in the near future.

As a gluttonous eater of fried foods and snack cakes, as well as the occasional chili cheese dog, James, tried in vain to give up the ghost by clogging his arteries and having a stroke in 2015. His twin boys, Rocky and Rodney, had other plans and made him go to the hospital. While waiting in the ER at the hospital, he was heard saying, "Let's make a break for it!", only to be heard by one of the hospital staff and forced to go through the procedure. He wasn't too excited about the prospect, but went anyway.

On many occasions in life, James was seen in his back yard at the trailer park during the early hours of the morning, hammering beers, standing over country-style ribs, and yelling, "It's got a head like a cat on it!", while nearby neighbors would peek out their windows bearing looks of disgust and amazement, as his party guests were slurring remarks about needing to speed up his cooking style. "We've been here since 5 o'clock," they would say. "I've got work in the morning."

We don't know if he was married, but he definitely was a lady's man. There was Kathy, Mary Lou, Tammy, Debra, Carrie, Tina, etc., etc. "It's the bones", he told us as proudly pointed his skinny, pasty-white legs. "Women love a good shin". We think he might even have some females waiting for him on the other side. Jamie loved his family more than anything else in the world...except ice-cold Busch, room-temperature Busch, T-bones, New York strip, prime rib, shrimp, swimming, poker, hatch-back Mustang GTs, tank-tops, Kentucky Men's basketball, and his personal copy of Eddie Murphy's Raw.

He leaves behind his second-favorite son, Rocky(and Lizeth) Loveless of Arizona City, AZ, his favorite son, Rodney Loveless of Science Hill, KY, a younger brother, Joey, and unofficial daughter Melissa(and Coy) Vance of the trailer park, as well as a pair of old boxers which have 'Buttweiser the King of Rears' printed on the design. He will be moderately missed.
 
Didn't Marcell Ledbetter renovate a bar with one of those?
Not sure what Mr Ledbetter did, but my wife 40 years ago locked me out of the house and was messing with me about me not having my keys. So l fired up the chainsaw and said open the door or I'm cutting a new one. Once I plunged the bar thru the wall she opened the door right up! Little drywall compound and all better.

Approximately 50,000 cords of wood cut and stacked for use at the Anaconda smelter and Butte mines (Montana) ca. 1890.

JRR Tolkien used scenes like this when he envisioned the factories of Sauron... The Lord of the Rings was all about WW1 and the industrialization of the West...

Vinegar and mustard? Is Not BBQ!!
You may as well put Frank's or Texas Pete in it
South Carolina Mustard is wicked good for dipping sweet potato fries and fried pickles in.... plus is excellent on burgers.

But agree, only vinegar, molassas, hot peppers and slow cooked pork is actual BBQ.

I'm going to my bunker now.

I worked with a guy from one of the Carolinas once whose idea of sauce was straight white vinegar with a few flakes of cracked red pepper floating in it.

Honestly, if it's done right the meat needs no sauce except maybe on the chopped beef sammiches.
 
About two minutes less would have been perfect.
I was re-training Rebecca when that pic was taken.

I no longer like mine blue. Plain old rare works for me now.
Tell Rebecca that she done good! She's a keeper!

And buy her a nice watch. With a rotating bezel for BBQ timing. Swiss movement. Suggest Breitling or higher...

NO need to time BBQ, jsut chop a pig, add ketchup and boil. Brisket on te other hand should cook for at least 8 hours, better 12.

My best lesson about BBQ was from an old cook in LaCenter, KY almost 50 years ago. Went to pick up some chickens to take home an he had a mop sloppin' sauce onto the meats on crusher screens in a cinder block fire pit. About 6 ft wide and 30 ft long, full, afternoon rush was coming. I hollered through the smoke "damn that looks good, what's your secret"? He hollered back "All I know is you can't make good BBQ an comply with the health code". And it was good. I miss all them "beside the road holes in the wall".

Thank you,
