Don't get any better than that! Awesome looking spread, David.
Man that looks sweet. I love little lakes and spots like that. I’m jealous
That's a great meal you prepared David! Know what it's like going through that stuff with health issues and family. Wish BIL and family more peace and happiness. Now on a much happier note... love the look on granddaughters face... almost as to say, " what shall I snack on next?"

How did I miss this one! One heck of a spread and just love all the pictures David!
So sorry David. Really tough losing somebody.Well Brian BrianGSDTexoma , this was a nice surprise and sad at the same time.
Sorry thank you for the love and the comment first.
It was nice this morning to see this and remember a good day for Gary ( BIL ) . We had to have him rushed to the hospital a week ago Wednesday
because of the issues he was having. then 5 days later Labour Day Monday morning he sadly passed away.
It was with mixed feelings that day because he was in so much pain and still sad to know he is gone.
He has been a great member of or family for the last 8 years, and he and Mona's sister were very good together.
Thank you Brian for bringing this back up.

Lordy that looks scrumptious.BIL, Supper for his family split wings, double smoked jalapeno and cheese sausage , Fresh mussels and corn
BIL and Mona's sister moved in with us little over a month ago. We have a in-law kind of piece built on. His 2 kids ( adults ) and 1 grandchild came to see him for a week or so.
He wanted to do up a nice big open fire meal for them before they went back home out west ( Calgary ) So they do not get to see each other very often. Has not seen his son for 5 years. So this is a very happy and sad time for Gary (BIL)
He had all good intentions on doing this for them on out open fire pit by the lake.
Well he was not feeling well and the wind did not help for the fire . So I said I have you covered , you spend the day with you family.
They picked up some split wings , and 15 pounds of fresh mussels and 2 dozen corn.
I washed and than soaked the wings in pickle juice for 3 hours, than into the smoker with hickory , also I sliced up a big pack of Jalapeno and Cheese sausages with a large onion and they were in there also.

In the smoker for 2 1/2 hours at 275 deg. - 300 deg. with Hickory, Wings browned up very nice. and the sausages letting off some great juice and flavours . Stirred them and added a hand of Brown sugar on top , than stirred in after a half hour. Yes I had to sample them every time I opened the smoker . lol
So have the corn on to boil and the mussels ready as they only take about 15 /20 minutes
So removed the wings and sausages from the smoker and onto the grill while the corn and mussels are just about finished. Getting some crisp on the wings with a little BBQ sauce and keeping the sausages close at hand as I like to snack while grilling.

Sorry the table hots were a little erratic, and messy looking . As I was just delivering and it was like a bunch of wild dogs while trying to get in and place the food down, no manners I say no manners , LOL
It was all good and everyone was happy and some would not even sit to eat just hover by the food and grab.

It turned out very nice for them to have this time with their father and Granddad, and his sister showed up who lives in town.
Everyone enjoyed the meal , and BIL was very thankful for the helping hand.
I was even allowed to sit and have some scraps when my shift was done.

Than let them clean up the table while I contemplated going for a swim. ( had to put on a dew rag as my solar panel was starting to burn in the sunny cloudy day )

There was a couple mussels left over so I pickled them up for BIL and Mona kept a bottle also. I will post that in the seafood area.
All had a good day and full belly's. And the weather held off but too windy for BIL
to do what he wanted on the open fire , But he was very thankful for the helping hand .
He was very tired by the end of the day,
Thanks for making it to the end.
