San Antonio

Morning everybody SATX! Lots of thunder and rain through the night and morning - laid in bed and just enjoyed it. Came out to the sunroom for rain on the roof for about an hour, then made us some blueberry pancakes for breakfast. All told through Saturday and today, 2.25" - never really stopped long enough to reset the gauge. So, that's a good rain. I thought I heard hail a couple times and went out to check, but happily I was wrong. Hope no one fared worse than a little branch or two!

 

We got about a inch here. But look like it could rain any minute

 

I think the worst stuff will all stay East of ya! Love that temperature probe set up!

 

Still light rain on and off here. Glad I put a roast in crock at 5am. Griddle is covered and roof leaks there.

 

Its on, but im pretty sure its made for a 12-15.. fits good though!

 

Man someone got busy this morning, looks like no extra trimming was needed

 

Looks great

 

No sir, bolted right up. Had to removed those fogs though, and doesnt look like there will be much room for fogs with the stock mounts. Gonna have to cut em out and fab something up i think

 

Thanks Maner! Im loving it

 

Looks nice!

Lol, I didn’t used too. The longer I competed the more I looked for ways to lean down the time involved. I would season the night before, wake up at 6am light the cookers and be ready for a 3pm brisket turn in.

 

Damn I want a bumper, that looks awesome!

 

I comp cooked for years and fixing to get back into it. I got a super great team.

 

I’m thinking of dipping my toe back in. My kids miss doing the kids q events but I’m just not as mad at the contests as I used to be. It was just me most times, and my wife when I didn’t travel too far. I would go every other weekend and ran with the big dogs but I lost the drive now.

 

That’s what happened to me I burnt out. Now fixing to retire and have good friends to enjoy the cooks win or lose

 

I think that’s the secret to it for sure. I made it into a job, sponsorships and all that, and it ceased being fun. I applaud anyone who can just go for the fun, I’m trying to learn to do it.

 

Im still learning my new pit but its a caddilac for cooking

 

What ya cutting

 

Afternoon gents
Made if home fight before the storms. Man those were loud, kept me up for a good while. Glad it wasn't during the week and everyone was able to stay in.

Looking good Manner
