Jeff, had fun watching you give that brisket a close shave. Barely remember that! Got a little fuzzy after that. Was glad to have the cooking over with so we could indulge and that we did!! Good luck to you and everyone that is coming to Columbia. See ya'all on Friday.

Well gentlemen (and Bob)... looks like I'm officially out of the alcohol festivities on Friday and Saturday. Doc put me on a Z-pack today. I've missed a day and a half of work out of the three this week and don't feel much better tonight. I'm just trying to fight this beyotch off so I can make it down at all! But I'm gonna have to have one foot in the hospital before I cancel and miss out on this!

That would be scary!!! But no chance of Andy showing up now. He and Matt(other half of Smoke on Wheels) will be cooking a catering gig Fri-Sat.

We will be visiting those teams out at DeSoto Friday evening. They are doing a chili cookoff for Kookers Kare. We are going to bring some homemade cornbread for those teams.

Good luck to all!:-D

Kim's right - no chance for me now... this is charity cooking weekend. Just spent all day doing the united way charity bartender dinner for Breit's; doing the DU stuff this weekend. It's zoo central this month....

BTW, we'll have 20 loaves like these for the teams doing the Kookers Kare fundraiser this weekend.... Kim is a cornbread makin fool!!!!

Things just got interesting around the Big Creek camp tonight... Taylor went to bed with a slight fever right at 100. If it isn't normal in the morning, she can't go to school and so Tammy can't go to Columbia! FARK! And I've been coughing my fool head off all evening. Thankfully tomorrow will mark 48 hours on the antibiotics so I won't be getting anyone sick at least. :roll: Better go get some sleep so I don't bonk tomorrow night.

EDIT: Her fever is 101.5 this morning. I'll be joining Rick in "Iron Manning it" this weekend unless she's better by Saturday morning. Leaving soon...

I PMed you my phone numbers this morning, but I guess I missed you...no shape to be on the PC last night....

Well....we did you brothers that couldn't be there proud on Friday night....Singing Bob and the MoKans, songbird FredBird and the Team Q guys, the Smokin' Walzs, Becky from Great Grills, the Sauce Barons crew, Jamey, Sweet T and the Mr. and probably a few more that I didn't mention were in rare vocal form....I'm sure several were thankful for quiet time at 11PM, but we gave it hell up to that point! What a good time! T said it felt so wierd to be there with all our friends and not be cooking, and I have to agree. Thanks again to all for their hospitality, and best of luck to all the teams. I'll check the board when I get home tonight for the results.

 

[Jorge]

Via the grapevine I understand that Team Q! added another GC to the trophy table with Bubba and Jeff getting the RGC. Congrats to all!

 

[Plowboy]

We shall rebuilt it. Make it better than it was: Better, faster, stronger.

Time for version 2.0, Wayne! :grin:

 

[Jeff_in_KC]

You heard right, Jorge! It was a great showing for the Brethren. we had seven teams in the 23 team field and finished as follows:

1. Team Q
2. Bubba and Jeff
3. Great Grills O' Fire
5. Chick 'n Pig
6. Big Creek BBQ
10. MoKan Meatheads
11. Smokin Mother Ruckers

Damned near took the whole top Ten and probably would have if we had more teams competing!

Congrats to Team Q on another Grand. And Bubba and Jeff's BBQ... damn guys! You all have come from newb to reserve grand in one season! Great job! Lots of calls for Brethren teams but I'm too danged tired to go get my sheet and type 'em all. But suffice it to say we took a large majority of the awards (they called and paid through sixth place each category). A really nice contest is a good location. Cold as hell but fun. My first time ever not drinking a drop of booze at a contest (due to Z-Pack) and it was not fun. I learned one thing this weekend. I will never do a complete contest by myself again. That was like BBQ boot camp. I feel wiped out! Turns out Taylor has strep throat and Tammy wasn't able to come down at all. I made it through and didn't think about what I'd done until Spice came over and pointed it out. I guess I'm pretty proud of it but it REALLY made me appreciate how much Tammy means to me at contests! I missed her a lot!

Brian, thanks a bunch for staying around and helping me wrap up the loading! Hope you made it home safely.

That's a wrap for 2006 guys! What a great ride! Thanks to everyone for your help, advice and friendship!

You can set up next to me anytime. I thought you were gonna take it all. Bubba and Jeff. you guys did great. Great cooks. I knew I should have brought a box of toothpicks for yall.

After almost all 7s for appearance I realize how important my wife is to my team. A huge thanks to Todd (Plowboy)for helping run my boxes. I couldnt have done it without him. He has a spot in my camp anytime. its folks like him that show what this sport of BBQ is all about. I missed Cacroake at the meat heads. But ill wait for the album.

Are you kidding? I plucked so many 'secrets' yesterday that next year people will be saying "Great Grill O Who"? Pork Pullin Plowboys will be on the lips of ever man, woman and child. 2007 will be the year of the Plowboy. Look out people.
