COLD was the theme of BBQ Fest yesterday. It never got much above 60 and was windy most of the day. I wore my PBR hoodie and shorts. It was still a good day, but for tube top viewing it was rather bad.<\/p>\n

Complete Saturday album here.<\/a> Less than 100 pics this time, as is typical when I slow down on Saturday. We got 4th in Ms. Piggie, 5th in Best Booth and 10th in Best T-shirt. I’m not sure of our exact placement in Shoulder but have heard that we were in the top 20.<\/p>\n

Apologies to everyone whose calls and texts went unreturned the past few days. I had a heck of a time getting a cell signal, and much of the time it was so noisy that I didn’t hear my phone go off.<\/p>\n

KUDOS KUDOS KUDOS to Memphis in May. Given the severely limited amount of planning time they had, they put together an incredible event. Also kudos to Harrah’s for the shuttle service. I expected long waits to get to the fairgrounds and back, but the shuttles were efficient and available. Next time I go to Tunica, I plan on making Harrah’s my stop, to show them my appreciation.<\/p>\n

And now it’s over. Back to reality. Grizzlies vs. Thunder Game 7 is on ABC at 2:30. If I had to guess where I’m watching it, I’d say Saucer but I’m open to other ideas.<\/p>\n

I have one more post to do that is sort of related to BBQ Fest, a post that should have gone up Tuesday or Wednesday but due to timing, I haven’t typed it yet. Check back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
