Well guys..
its neaqrly midnight. Muzzlebrake is on his way here, the trailer is packed and I'm sitting here wondering what I forgot.
In 5 hours we leave Long Island for a 1250 mile trip to KC for the Royal. We're doing the invitaitonal and the open, and being a first timer for a contest like this, I am thorougly prepared for a spankin. :redface: But hey, as we preach here.. "On Any Given Day"...
So, I hope im blessed with the same Mojo that we had for our very first contest 4 years ago when Parrothead and I walked in 3 catagories and GC'ed our first time out...... but thats alot to ask, so I'll settle for anywhere above DAL.
:icon_smil
Itinerary, Me, Muzzlebrake and Speedo(Danny) leave here at 5AM, Derive a little beyond halfway and then find a hotel, finish up Wednesday and hopefully pull into the royal grounds sometime late Wednesday. Jorge is driving up from TX on Wed, and my son James, MilitantSquatter and Yakfishingfool fly in on thursday and meet us at spot 928. Bigdog arrives on Friday. Then we do the 2 contests, and the guys fly out on Monday. Shawn, Danny and I are driving back and leaving the trailer IN KC. In 3 weeks we leave NY and drive down to Lynchburg(950 miles) for the Jack. HoDedo hauls the trailer from KC and meets us at the Jack. (saving us 2000 miles of trialer hauling). We leave NY on Wednesday and pul into the jack on Thursday. Vinny, Scott and James fly down Thursday and fly out Sunday, while we stop in nashville and hang for a day before heading back Monday or Tues.
So, in 5 hours the journey begins.. over 4000 miles in 3 weeks.. Im spooked and psyched at the same time. If anyone would have told me 4 years ago I'd leave the backyard to be doing this, I would have laughed.. But I guess fate was decided when we named the group....
"The BBQ Brethren.. From the Backyard to the American Royal!"
Wish us luck guys.. We're GOIN IN!!
