So I finally got a call!
Right out of the blue tonight while tornado sirens were going off, I got a call from a buddy of mine who just opened a speed shop and is having his grand opening in 3 weeks. He said he could think of no one else he wants to cook the food that day than me and he would be honored if I did!!! WOW! I was honored. ..... And then I told him absolutely not.
:crazy: right? He was all but highly upset and asked me why and I explained liability issues and he understood. I then proceeded to ask him if they had good insurance on the business and employees and he said yes. I said well good then put me on the payroll for 1 day, pay me $20 for the gas to get there and haul my cookers and feed me for free and we are in business. he very quickly agreed.
So I guess in 3 weeks my Big Poppa Drum, My old leaky drum and my Kettle are going to get a work out. it is a Speed shop grand opening and they are hosting a car show.
I think my wife is more excited than I am to be honest. I just didn't want to leave a buddy hanging is why I agreed. he has helped me so I had to help him.
Am I wrong for my approach and will my terms Cover my Arse? I know we have tossed this around many, many times. I just want to be safe than sorry.
Thanks.
