I declare summer officially over, from a weather standpoint.\u00a0 I don’t know if it is on the calendar, but I think the cooler weather is here to stay.\u00a0 Get your sweaters out, people.\u00a0 Man, this site is just chock full of invaluable information.\u00a0 Or unvaluable information, or something like that.<\/p>\n
We didn’t really do much last weekend,\u00a0 hence the unsolicited weather report.\u00a0 Just trying to bulk up the content a little.\u00a0 Saturday we did go to a BBQ competition at Blue Springs.\u00a0 We headed out there with Brice and volunteered our services for judging.\u00a0 It was a good sized competition as local ones go;\u00a0 I think I heard 83 teams were entered.\u00a0 It was raining pretty hard towards the end, so we didn’t do any walking around the grounds, but the judging part was entertaining.\u00a0 We feasted on some good, some not so good, and some mediocre ‘que for about three hours.\u00a0 After judging three of these competitions this summer, I’m a bit surprised that there aren’t more judges who also compete.\u00a0 As a matter a fact, I haven’t met anybody<\/strong> else who competes.\u00a0 I guess they are all just there for the free grub, which is fair enough.\u00a0 Me and Bob, we were checking out the entries and interviewing the other judges, looking for some ideas of what to do and what not to do.\u00a0 Well, that and enjoying the free grub.\u00a0 After our bellies were full, we dropped by the Brooksider for a post-bbq wrap up, then headed back home.\u00a0 Far as I remember, that wrapped up the day.<\/p>\n Sunday I got up rather early and fired up a roux for the first gumbo pot of the season.\u00a0 I don’t guess it was really that<\/strong> cold out, but it was the first football Sunday of the year and I had a fridge full of scraps, so it seemed like the thing to do.\u00a0 A few neighbors came over to help eat it up, and the rest of the day was spent on feed and football.\u00a0 Let the wasted Sundays begin!!<\/p>\n As for the weekly poll, yeah I know that’s been used at least once.\u00a0 But, in the spirit of the season, and lacking any other ideas, I put it up again.\u00a0 By the way, TFB BBQ will be competing in Kearney on the 19th – 20th, mark your calendars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I declare summer officially over, from a weather standpoint.\u00a0 I don’t know if it is on the calendar, but I think the cooler weather is here to stay.\u00a0 Get your sweaters out, people.\u00a0 Man, this site is just chock full of invaluable information.\u00a0 Or unvaluable information, or something like that.
