I'm late to this thread, having been out of town, but now----CONGRATULATIONS Mr. Bones !!!! Couldn't have happened to a better feller!

[Mr. Bones]

Howdy Brother, many thanks fer them kind words...
But, technically, mathematically, statistically, demographically??? Reckon it could of!

[klflowers]

Kind of late congrats on that win, Mr Bones sir!!!

I been meaning to ask you if you have any Mealers in your family. You bear a striking resemblance to a very good friend of mine who passed away a little over a year ago.

What time should we stop by for that first cook?

[Mr. Bones]

Many thanks, never too late to join in; I always save ya a seat!

No Mealers that I'm aware of, but that means doodly squat... my kin migrated to LD from KY, TN, VA...

I'll do my best to keep ya posted, re: first cook!
Yer always welcome, amigo!

[klflowers]

My buddy was from Corbin, KY. So who knows? Maybe somewhere down the line... He was my brother from another mother... or father, we could never get it straight, so you may be my third couz twice removed.

[Mr. Bones]

klflowers Ten rodger on dat!
Father's Day is th most confusin of th year, in most rural locales!

[Mr. Bones]

(doesn't have near th ring, or marketin appeal!)

[jghorton]

Congrats, sir. I have enjoyed seeing some of the various cooks you have done in the past, so it will be quite exciting to see what you do on your new cooker.

[Mr. Bones]

Many thanks, amigo! Much appreciate them kind words!

Well, Latest Official Update:

Due to my seeminly persistent, an admittedly selfish desire to remain un-electrocuted, while at work, I missed a call from Beth at Dominion sumpin (couldn't make out much of th voxmail, reckon her Pappy musta been an auctioneer?? )
To schedule delivery of my GOOR...

Called em when I got home, ~1620-ish; an all customer service reps had already left fer th weekend, so I do so truly apologize...

Haveta call them Monday, set it up.

Yall will be the 2nd to know, I assure ya!

[Mr. Bones]

[Henrik]

Googlin' is alright, I just really wish I knew about some kind of online forum where I could ask all those noob question ;-)

[Bogy]

Henrik, you mean some kind of online forum where there are a whole bunch of friendly people willing to help out a brother? Where would you ever find such a place?

[Henrik]

Yup Bogy, it sure beats me ;-)
