Thursday its only you and Keith so you guys can figure out what to do about the chicken :)

Hmmmm. I don't think Kith and I can handle 10 pounds of chicken. I think I'll freeze those for another time. Maybe we'll slum it and go to Sonnys and let their pit master cook Thursday night. That'll give us a good professional base to compare the rest of y'all efforts against. LOL

How many are we anticipating for Saturday?

JckDanls 07 JckDanls 07 -- do you have a cell phone yet?
 
I was planning on coming Thursday but the boss changed my plans. We will be there Friday for sure. Looks like I will be leaving the fire wood behind. I'll do a side like the cornbread soufflé and something else.

Let me know if there is something else needed.

OK.. well Bobcats... was looking forward to meeting ya... we'll stay in touch ...

Been gathering things around... will load up in the morning and head out about noon ...
 
Well, shit! My buddy Tony just told me that unless a miricle occurs at work, he is going to have to work Sat, so won't be able to attend. [emoji]128546[/emoji]

Then I got a call from my mechanic. He's working on the front end of my '68 Chrysler, and he has a problem and I'm going to have to go over there tomorrow. Parts for those full size cars are hard to find, so I'll could be on the phone most of the day.

Long and short of it is I probably won't make it tomorrow, but I WILL BE THERE FRIDAY,!!

I'm counting 8-9 Saturday
 
So i'm debating if i need to haul my trailer smoker down there? It seems like everyone has their own smokers and with a smaller group we arent cook as much food as we do at the November event. I could just bring my new Sweet Smoke Q Juice Can smoker instead, but dont want to leave anyone stranded for cook space. Thoughts?
 
I'm good on cooking space (2 mini's) ... see what others say/need ..

As usual, you know I'm gonna forget something... Will one of y'all remember to bring it please ... :biggrin:

See ya there >>>>>> "VROOOOOM VROOOOOM"
 
Doug -- the only thing I'm bring to cook are ribs, and I'll be doing those in my Tall mini. I'm also bringing my combo pressure/slow cooks to warm the precooked stuff and the rice for Friday.

Keith -- I'm bringing THREE fans!
 
Got home safely. Came into house, peed, then took 2 hour nap in marvelous bed. Woke up, emptied cooler and I'm now in my recliner with two dogs on my lap. [emoji]128524[/emoji][emoji]128524[/emoji][emoji]128524[/emoji][emoji]128524[/emoji]

Home, unloaded and John resting his poor knee. Great time, great food and great friends.

Funny but we managed to get home with no ribs, squirrels must have stolen them.

See everyone in November.
