KBQ Tradition

[ComfortablyNumb]

Washington State University is home to the Cougars and they have a tradition of 'waving the flag'. This video will give you an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoUASvBx1gk

I propose that all KBQers do something similar with the 'coolie' that Bill supplies us with our KBQ. Pictures can range from your backyard BBQ to the Macy's parade to your holiday in Maui to your climb to the top of Everest. Not only do I think it will be fun for us, but when people ask what the hell are we doing taking a picture of a bottle we can introduce them to the KBQ and make some sales for Bill along with recruiting more members for the tradition.

I just came back from a weekend holiday in Penticton, BC. Here's a few to start:



Here's looking across Okanagan Lake at the 'PENTICTON' letters on the hill.



Looking north across the lake.



And this is from the scenic lookout on Highway 3 overlooking Osoyoos on my way home.

One of these days I'll join the KBQ crew…

[Spinaker]

I just had to order one! But My pics will follow. Great thread man!

[Spinaker]

Well I got a whole pile of KBQ Koozies from Bill at KBQ . Here are the first pics of the weekend at my father's place in Orono, MN. I have about 30 people to cook for through out the weekend. Brisket, pulled pork, pork bellies, ribs and chicken are all on the menu!

ComfortablyNumb Great call on this thread, brother!

The Old Man enjoying a cold one!

My brother Jayson, in from NYC, enjoying a libation and the KBQ smoke! (Rocking his Steak of The Month of Club Tank) Him and his college buddies go out to a different fancy steak house, once a month. They have been going strong for 54 Months straight! Pretty awesome tradition.

My youngest brother, Jeff Bowldozer in from San Fransisco, REALLY happy to be back in Minnesota!

Cheers Everyone! Have fun and safe 4th of July!

Craigar I live, about 100 miles to the north of Spokane and go frequently, it's the closest major shopping to where . I actually have some property just north of Coeur d'Alene. Did I mention it's for sale? Tell you what, next time I'm in CDA I'll bring my coolie and snap a pic just for you.

[Craigar]

ComfortablyNumb 100 miles north? Your backyard must butt up to the Canadian line? If not, your at least within shouting distance. Man, that's some gorgeous country. Thanks for keeping me in mind the next to you're in CDA!

[Bumby]

What steaks in NYC are your brother's favorites? I'm always looking for a new one...

[bbqncigars]

Enjoy your family while you can, I really miss mine. Looks like good times and good Q.
Have an awesome Fourth.

Here is one last KBQ Koozie pic from the weekend. Here is my Grandpa. One of the finest men I have ever known. He still has an iron grip that he acquired while working for John Deere for 38 years in Waterloo, IA. A great man and a damn fine American!

[BBQ_Bill]

Hey Spinaker, I just noticed the American Flag on his left hand.
VERY Cool!

[Spinaker]

RIP Grandpa Bowlsby. You are missed every day. (1928-2018)

[ComfortablyNumb]

Sorry for your loss Spinaker

[vandy]

That is really great Spinaker ! There is nothing like spending time with family enjoying a few cold ones and some great Q. Looks like it was a really memorable weekend, thanks for sharing.

[Spinaker]

It was! Thanks for the kind words.

[KBQ]

[Spinaker]

Great shot!

[hogdog6]

Now that's what we're talking about.

[hogdog6]

Best way i know to start the day!!!

[Spinaker]

Oh your damn right, brother!! I wish I could be popping a few out there with you this morning. Tight Lines!

[ComfortablyNumb]

Garlic harvest is on, time for a cool one!

[BBQ_Bill]

Ask me about my KBQ's!

[BBQ_Bill]

Coincidences ......
My Dad was the head trainer at WSU and went on to be the head Trainer for the Houston Rockets.

I've spent many a day in the Okanagan Valley along with Somerville and Kelowna.

My Aunt has a waterfront place on the Okanogan,beautiful country but I couldnt handle the winters.

[HawkerXP]

Very nice but if you've got a beer in the picture it really needs to be opened. :0

[ComfortablyNumb]

Good eye HawkerXP I possess a CDL and have a firm 'don't drink and drive' policy. I took care of that when I got home.

[HawkerXP]

Ahh the CDL. Just giving a little ribbing if you know what I mean.

[EdF]

Nice, but I think I gave it to someone at work to encourage his MCS.

[ComfortablyNumb]

Nice, but I think I gave it to someone at work to encourage his MCS.

Maybe you can still play, Ed. It seems Spinaker was able to score some replacements from Bill. I need to see if I can get a replacement myself. I used a 650ml bottle in mine for the pic which stretched it out. Now it just falls off a standard 355ml bottle.

[Spinaker]

Shoot Bill an email.
