I had the best time meeting up with these guys. My pictures are exactly the same as the ones all ready posted so I will spare ya'll the redundancy. I will just say how much fun it is talking bbq and getting to know these great guys. This is the first time I met Ed (veryolddog) and I must say that he fits in perfectly with all of us. He is so nice and had some great stories. I have met Tim before a couple of times, but I didn't realize that he was married to such a beautiful lady that keeps him grounded. When ya'll say he married up, you really don't know how right that statement is. If it wasn't for Kay, Tim would be way out of control. And what can I say about Cuz Jack? Well, he is just a great guy. Now I'm not saying that because we call each other "cuz". We really are related and wouldn't have known that if it wasn't for another bbq forum (CharBroil's). Because we live in the same town surrounded by about 4 million of our closest friends, we decided to meet over a plate of bbq about 3 years ago. During that first lunch, we discovered that we really are closely related to each other. So close, in fact, that I have now attended his wife's family reunion. Two hours after we met for the first time, Jack emailed me his geneology charts showing how the family on my dad's side met up with the family on his wife's side. I was astounded at the odds of us ever getting to know each other. Well, to make my point about this....if you ever get a chance to meet up with any of your fellow bbq forum members, be sure to take it. I have found that everyone I have met on this forum or other bbq forums is a top notch guy and gal that you would love to spend time with and exchange stories and ideas. I have now met about 14 or 15 of you guys and gals mostly because of the Gathering (which is in two months in Augusta in case you haven't heard). Someone said that the Gathering was like a family reunion with out the family bickering. The people that I have met are now life long friends and it's all because of this forum and our love for bbq and outdoor cooking.
I got a call from IR2dum earlier saying he was gonna call in 10 minutes so I could talk to the guys. Guess they got wrapped up in their bbq cause I didn't hear back from them..Hope they had fun. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥
Sorry, Pammie. I thought I texted you to call me in 10 minutes. I just thought you were busy. Would have loved to let you talk to everybody. I couldn't get hold of Dee, either. Not to worry. We will see you in a couple of months.
