    @bgebrent -  Great move on all fronts (cept UPS) right there.  Will be quite interested in your thaw process.  As you know, they come out of the box fully frozen.  Better to be lucky than good any day.  Enjoy the banquet.

    Ya Cap, it will be frozen solid.  Prolly bend a rule or three getting it thawed ;).  Cold water after sitting out some on the ride will work.  Thank you sir.

    Today we made a boat load of burger bites, wing sauce and pasta salad.  Big shout out to SRF and Annella @SRFANNELLA.  UPS was supposed to be bringing the black briskets to be delivered today.  At 4:30 I was getting nervous so I tracked and found out there was an updated delivery....tomorrow afternoon!!  After a few choice words, I picked up the phone and called Annella.  She is golden!!  She looked into and found out tomorrow afternoon was the best UPS could do.
    So, she overnight express shipped 2 more Black briskets to arrive at 0900!!!  Woooooo!!  And at no charge to me!  I offered to pay for the product but she said nope, it's on us so we'll cover it.  In this day of customer no service, this was above and beyond.  MONSTER KUDOS TO SRF AND ANNELLA.  If UPS gets this one right, the brisket will be on the smoker tomorrow night.  See you hooligans tomorrow.
    It all sound great, safe travels and we will see youins tomorrow! J, K, & EJ too :)

    Pretty good. Wished we would have got in touch with her after Shane left. He had indicated he would provide some items to Butt Blast. Soooo... We'll just take one of your briskets!

    Fantastic news about the briskets!!!  

    Well, I have the cooler pre-cooling overnight with 20 lbs of ice, chopped up 8 bulbs of garlic and did a bunch of other prep. Also have 10 dozen eggs unspoken for.  Car is packed, alarm is set, and all I have to do is load the cooler and start driving.

    Looking forward to meeting you all in person.

    Bourbon slushies made the trip, as did the vanilla infused EW, Maker's Cask Strength, and a case of wine.
    Ready for you Cowboys and Cowgirls.

    Was planning on doing prep work tonight. Had a make up game fromTuesday. Decided I'll take tomorrow off and prep while the kids get educated. Tonight I'll just prep (prime) my liver.

    Worn out from all the prep as is N.  Bet you are too.  Will be an epic round 2 brother.  Don't forget the weed burner to get John's MM recognizable.
