Congrat's to FBJ and 8th place rib's.....and all the other's who placed!!
Hope ya feel better bro!! :wink:

He was a little under the weather but did good with the ribs. And he picked up a WSM (for his son :biggrin:) from Smokin Gator. And his beer was good and cold! Thanks Joe & hope you are feeling better.

Congrats to all Brethren walks.

Thanks guys. It was nice to put a couple of more faces with the names. :mrgreen:

I wish I was feeling better so I could have been up for more socializing (aka drinking :wink:), but pretty much if I wasn't messing with the meat or fire, I was just sitting there wishing I was home in bed :icon_sleepy........well.....maybe not home, but I sure wish I was better. I am sure there will be other opportunities to hang out again.

FBJ....Super proud of you brother. Two comps two walks with your ribs. Now that is something to crow about.

Congrats to all the Brethren who got called. It was a really tough field.

Thanks.......and thank for the extra deal on the WSM. :eusa_clap My son was wanting to mess with it yesterday but I was just too rundown to do much of anything but get unloaded from the comp.

Now if I can just get the rest of my scores up with the ribs. :wink: Pork has me thoroghly confused. I did crappy with it in Sebring and made a couple of changes that made it worse. LOL

Good weekend! Outside of a little rain on Thursday night and an incident with a swamp buggy at 2AM on Saturday morning it was pretty near perfect...except for our scores! Oh yeah, we were WAY too close to the PA tent and band stand!!
Congrats to those that walked!

What Chad said!

This has the potential to be a "Premier" BBQ event.
Dependable power and water and nice sites.
Some free ice, breakfast, steak dinner, and all the "goodies" a team could want!

Finally got a chance to meet some teams with Brethren members.
In particular--"Da Chief" and the lovely "Mrs Chief". Really nice folks!

Got to shake hands with Mike Davis "Lotta Bull". I finally washed that hand at Mrs Kapn's insistence :oops:
Great guy!
Wish I had taken a pic of the "coach" he has---the paint job cost more than many houses and is so cool!

The ever present small "boo boos" kept us out of the hunt for $$.
But, 14th of 44 ain't bad in that field.
Lots of Super Stars right in the area with us. :lol:

We will do this one next year--just gotta take ear plugs.
