Back to the Fold

[bauchjw]

I’m not new, but it’s been a few years. Life got busy quick with three young kids and work, so my weekly smoking meat habit dropped further and further behind. But, I’ve missed you all and have always pointed curious people towards the SMF. We’ve moved twice since my last post and now live in Alexandria, VA. My neighborhood has a bbq competition I just found out about and I put my hand up to enter a Team. I immediately….well, after the kids fell asleep, logged back onto SMF to get warmed up again. You guys are awesome, so happy to be back.

Welcome back good to see you again. We certainly understand life getting in the way it happens to many but SMF is here when life slows back down a little

Welcome back to the fold. Totally understand the "life getting in the way of what we want to do" thing. Look forward to your post and pics.

Welcome back!
I was absent a couple of years for various reasons, too.
I usually check in every day now. Some new faces and names and some I miss. It's still a great site.

Thank you, most older guys probably remember my epic MES cold smoke cheese melt. That was fun! Of course I remember you too, looking forward to getting some great advice again!
