I reminded, again, my office staff that I'd be out Friday afternoon this morning. My receptionist asked, "So your taking your camper, and family  to a campground in North Carolina, to meet a bunch of people from an Internet forum?"

 No way I was telling her the name of this fest.

 No way. 

  

Chicken!

The world will seem a better place once you finally have self realization. There is no shame in coming out. You are a confident male Big Green Egger. Chances are your friends, family and coworkers already know it. It is time to tell the everyone you are a cooker. Quit punishing yourself for your inclinations, there are others like you. Be Green, be proud.

Nothing worse than a closet Butt Blaster.

Man, I don’t know how long I’m going to be spending in Asheville around lunch time.  So many places I want to hit, lol.

Question, do the breweries there fill growlers that aren’t their own?  I plan on bringing a couple of growlers with me am hoping to get them filled.  Or will they only fill their own?  I know some states/breweries have this policy.

Regardless we should arrive in TV dinner land by 5 or so.  Should we head over to DN or wait until tomorrow?  What are Friday nights festivities looking like and at who’s cabin?

Trey, 

Tomorrow I think folks will start to come in around lunch, maybe sooner.  

I'm planning to get there around noon myself, though I have a lot of things to do before hand.  

The atrocities will start tomorrow afternoon/evening.  It's basically a big chill/hang out where food is cooked and beverages are consumed.  It's laid back.  

Last year we hung around campsite 41 (Scott's (thatgrimguy)), but I don't know who's got that spot, so I thought we'd hang out in the cabin areas since I believe most Butt Blasters have reserved them.  I'm planning on parking my trailer with Eggs and Blackstone over there and we'd just fire them up and cook stuff!

Yes.....they use to have a law that they could only fill there own. I had some generics, and some would slap a label on the bottle for ya. That law changed....they can fill at will now.

In my book, it is always 50% chance of rain. It either does or it doesn't. Not gonna sweat it. 

YEMTrey

In terms of the breweries, you really cannot go wrong focusing on the main strip in downtown Asheville.  There's at least four, if not five, top notch breweries in walking distance of one another.

Wicked Weed is one I'm def hitting.  Just added Burial to the list.

LOL.  If you achieve exit velocity from Asheville on Friday I'll be impressed!

tarheelmatt

I've been to two places and no red onions.  What the heck?  

YEMTrey

Well, impressed you shall be. Only going to do a flight at each place.  Got a couple of stores to hit then I'll be back on the road.

You can have the red onions, but we all know who the real Carolina is and have this!

Meh.. Don't even hold a candle to UNC.  

How about that spanking the Heels gave those Cocks in baseball?  Like 20-1 or something like that.  Should have flown the white mercy flag on that one.

Ha, we scored 5 runs....but who is counting. It wasn't that bad when I left in the 4th inning. Yep.....was a beat down.

YEMTrey

Those are both good flags..........

Got my groceries got.

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.
