    Gotta love Guinness. I went to Ireland on my honeymoon and toured the factory. Cool place

    It's about 7:10 there & I'll bet that none of them can stand up. Wish I were there.

    Not to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol is a solution...

    Henapple - for your pass back through the state - Harps has restocked.  They've got Ozark Oak on two aisles now.  They had over fifty bags on the shelves tonight, and the price dropped a bit to $4.98.  Bring your trailer.

    Have fun all!

    It's the 10# bag - I think that's the only size for it.  It seems Harps gets some kind of deal on it.  Ozark Oak is produced here in Arkansas, but Harps is the only place that carries for less than $10.  And this is a small grocery store - not one of the mega-marts.

    That is pretty cool. It's pretty pricey here. RO from Wally World is a few $ cheaper

    Was a great food and drink filled pre party. All the food was excellant. It was great to put face with forum names. Travis'sausages were the mighty tasty. Nola' s music mix was spot on. The fest made front page.
    For all who could not make it, pencil in next year. Mickey really knows how to throw a preparty

    Mickey left too early. The sausage was excellent. As of 9:30 when my son and I left everybody still had all their clothing. limbs, and red blood cells.

    Got to come to the heart of Texas and join us. Would bet Nola, henapple and a few other are about to call it a night now (6:42a) and ready to get to the park for the Fest ( only thing standing in the way of the big party tonight).

    Waking up to the sun rising over Stillhouse Hollow Lake, where we camped last night. Air in the mattress started giving out about 4am, and I've had to pee like a racehorse since about 5:30am. My molars are drowning. But I'm stuck in the car for a little while longer, coz its nice and snug inside.

    See y'all in a couple of hours!

    Well, I got a few hours sleep at least.

    SWMBO made breakfast reservations at the inn, so I'm not gonna cook in the first wave.
