Last Post for the Season
by Hurricane Mike 9/25/2008 1:19:00 PM

I know that the Charlotte contest has been over for a little over a week but things have been hectic. Papa and Mama Pig had their 55th wedding anniversary while they were here and we celebrated my son’s 19th birthday. Been crazy to say the least. Back to the contest … We came in 6th.

Getting ready for Memphis
by Hurricane Mike 5/13/2008 4:06:00 PM

Memphis in May - So many things to get together still. We hire a company now to do the flooring and tent that will be ready this weekend. We used to do this ourselves but we are either older or smarter. They also supply the tables and chairs. We will arrive on Tuesday with our cookers / refrigerator and start the "move in process." Wednesday we'll finish the landscaping in front of our booth. Right now it's all about gathering up our "BBQ Stuff" which seems to fill more and more storage totes every year. For the next few days I will definitely stay away from pork. Last night we went ...
