[slanted88]

Well being here in Panama City....we tend to stay away from the roads cause the tourists & college kids wear us out. Me & Louie may go up the Econfina Creek & cool down. May just eat a ol grilled hot dog! Or may go put the crab traps in & do them. Tooo hot here! Still thinkin!

Let's see, tonight I'm detailing Lucile for a car show. Tomorrow I'm working, tomorrow night I'm meeting the family for a picnic and fireworks. Saturday morning, I'm taking Lucile to the car show, in the afternoon Ma and me are going cruising in Lucile then it's steaks on the grill and more fireworks. Sunday morning I'm working and then doing a car show Sunday afternoon. I'm off all next week but I know I'm doing brisket and beans next weekend for the youngest son and the son-in-laws birthday. And maybe a car show.

[oregonsmoker]

Well the decision has been made as I went and got everything yesterday. It will be two Tri Tips, three racks of BB's, Dutch's Beans, Sausage Links, Potato Salad, Corn Bread with honey butter, margarita's made with Don Julio Tequila and of course friends, family and fireworks!!

And I almost forgot Jeff's Rub, Jeff's BBQ Sauce, Rasberry Chipotle BBQ Sauce and the famous SoFlaQuer's Carolina Mustard Sauce. I made all of these up last night so they can sit for a couple of days and get even better!!

Happy 4th and stay safe!!

In true SMF fashion, I am hosting a 4th of July party with another member (Fired Up) on Saturday.

We're doing:
33lbs of Boston Butt
2 pans of mac and cheese
Hot Dogs
ABTs (if I can find some jalapenos)
A fattie or 2 (If we have room in the smoker)

Should be a good 'ole time. We're even having someone from England over just to show there's no hard feelings...

 

[teacup13]

my wife has to work this weekend (yep, it sucks) but she will be off relatively early in the afternoons - the only thing i know for sure that we will be doing is some spares.

We're staying home. My 90 yr old Aunt is coming over. I'm making Wisconsin beer/tub Brats on the grill. I'd rather smoke a butt, but the Brats are for my Aunt. That's it. Just sit around visiting, and I intend to suck some suds while I'm at it.
