ByeBye Blue Pickemup Truck

hmmm. any coincidence Dan's "beloved bbq truck" sported my team trailer hitch cover? Or was it really my beloved blue pickemup truck?? :(

A sad, sad day

My beloved BBQ truck. It survived countless BBQ competitions. Mud, rain, heat, cold, no problem. Hauling countless pounds of gear to local comps and out to KC. It stood up to everything. It even carried the Titans (Tracy is a fan) hitch cover without complaint. But today, a Goliath (actually a Tacoma, but a Goliath sounds better), fell victim to an automobile accident. Is it terminal? dunno, but the axle is smashed, the front bumper disintegrated, wheels busted and tires shreaded. We are awaiting the official diagnosis.

For me? Why a brand spanking new tattoo the shape of a seatbelt! And it hurts, really hurts, but I'll live I think. But I do want to say thank you to the inventor of seatbelts, saved my hide today.

Thinking Back

So, last March we started the season in Little Rock, AR. Prior to that we had a catering gig in St. Louis, so we had to buy our comp meats in St. Louis rather than bring our own from Maryland. The weather was looking to be cold and rainy, so we decided to do our prep the night before. The problem? We were staying in a hotel! Dan Mc asked the hotel manager if we could use the kitchen and the answer was NO. So, we decided to improvise.......

The moral of the story. Well, do what you need to do. OR, next time your at a hotel, wash your hands when you hit that light switch :)

P.S. We did clean up well, but there still was a giant sack of trimmings in the trash!

Finished

All done for the season. Damn I'm tired.

Finished 7th in ribs and 7th overall in the Mud-A-Que in Talladega, AL. Great experience, but 3 in a row with 2 travel comps and I'm pretty beat up.

BIG thanks to Chris from Big Ugly BBQ for doing the comp with me and driving the entire way. Some pics to follow soon.

Talladega

Friday at Talladega. 108 teams is the official word. Weather is holding up ok, just breezy and about 66. Visited briefly with Chix Swine and Bovine BBQ and walked around some of the track vendors. This is certainlt one cool event. There is even a F-16 here sitting on the ground. Pretty neat.

Many teams here already. Track is a zoo. Never seen so many RV's, very impressive. Planning on heading back to site at 11am tommorrow. Will post some updates..

@Talladega. Dropped trailer, got dinner and checked in the hotel. Mmmmm Patron nightcap! Chris passed out already-drove the whole way, wow...
