I'm ready for the end of the season!

I know the feeling...

Microsoft Outlook tells me I have 51 days of BBQ events (contests, caterings, festivals and other vendings) booked between now and November 1. Plus, I have a real job too!

WOW, I can't beleive you guys had that many contests over the winter. Most of us are just gearing up for our season and have only done 1 or 2 contests so far. I take it you don't compete in KCBS?

I know how you feel, this is what we have had down here, this year so far... And it really doesn't stop, because we take the down time and head up north to do Dillard, Lebanon, and Birminham...

I travel on average 35-40 weeks a year producing shows and then on my off weekends I try to hit a contest we mange 5-6 every year. I feel for ya Zilla. OBTW I used to live in Selma hope things are well in the greater 1604 and IH35 area.

Zilla you can't be tired from cooking! It's that disney world trip that wore you out. Texana said you missed all the bad weather cooks. So that means you've only been there to cook for 3 or 4. You got to suck it up son!!!!
