One Year Anniversary

August 7, 2018, 10:07 AM

When I joined the Pit one year ago today, I just started randomly postings and never followed new user protocol. Having done so, Topper and I want to say a belated Hello to all the Pit members from the Great State of Texas !!! It's been a fun year and hope to continue posting until my spatula and set of tongs are pried out of my cold, dead hands ('cuz that's the only way I'm ever going to stop smoking !!!). Peace to all my brothers and sisters on THE Pit !!!
