I'm sure this goes w/o saying, but remember to get some good pics. Just might feature this in this month's upcoming HOT From The Pit!

Wild indeed! Tomorrow night CaptainMike is gonna teach us how to do The Foxtrot! Saturday night Uncle Bob is gonna show us pictures of all the quilting bees he’s attended.

Well folks I made it! Nice and scenic drive once out of Houston. The short bit of Rockdale I drove through wasn’t much to look at, but the Rainbow place itself is nice! It’s every bit as nice as the pictures on the website. Also, we can run at least 2 grills for the steaks even if it’s raining. My patio in the back is covered and can fit 2 smokers on it. Good news! Loren is bringing his 26†kettle, so we can put his and my 22†on the patio in case of rain. It might be that some of you staying here…have a patio also.
EDIT: We have plenty of covered porch areas to run 4 grills! See post below.Attached FilesLast edited by Panhead John; June 3, 2021, 02:35 PM.Comment

Ok guys. More good news in case of rain. wcpreston ‘s room is maybe 100 feet or so from mine and his building has a covered porch. We can easily fit 2 or 3 kettles or cookers on his porch. We won’t need to worry about pan frying or sous vide the steaks. All of us are very close to each other, within a 30 second walk.
This is wcpreston ‘s room, I’m directly across from him.
This is my room, taken from wcpreston’s porch area.Last edited by Panhead John; June 3, 2021, 04:24 PM.Comment

Here’s a couple of 30 second videos I shot outside my room. It’s quit raining in the last hour or so. And it wasn’t raining very hard before that. I’m optimistic we’re gonna have no rain for tomorrows steak cook. ðŸ™Comment

The other side of Rockdale isn’t much better.Comment

that's a nice lookin' place for sure, y'all have fun and don't burn the place downComment

Don't mind me. I'm just sitting over here in the corner tapping my foot waiting for those foxtrot videos.Comment

Excited about coming Sat morning... where is everyone going to be at Rockdale? don' see any info on places to be or what times, I do know Snows sells out early. Any info for a late comer would be helpful. Thanks and can not wait!Comment

Lock Stock and Barrel I’m going to PM you my cell #. Depending on the weather might depend on where everyone goes. Tell us what you’d like to do. It’ll probably boil down to Snows, Brett’s Backyard or Louie Mouillers. I’d imagine we might have a group going to each one, or at least 2 of the 3.

Have fun guys. That’s gonna be an awesome weekend. Eat until you get the meat sweats!Comment

I wasn't sure if I was going to like Panhead John or not, but after spending the evening with him I realize I was right.Comment

Just so y’all know, and I hate to say this but CaptainMike was probably the most boring person I’ve ever met. We spent most of the evening in silence, waiting for the other person to talk. It was like watching "The Talk" in reverse.Last edited by Panhead John; June 3, 2021, 09:59 PM.Comment

The first date can be a rather clumsy affair.
By tonight you'll be dancing cheek to cheek. -
ofelles Well….I guess that means you don’t want to hear about our pillow fight?

Don't know what time you guys are up on Sat. Morning so I will hit Snow's Line at around 8 am. Been thru this area 50 times and it was always sold out so it is now a bucket list item for me. Hope to meet Tootsie there if she's cook'in. She's around 80 years old so you can bet she knows what she is doing with that Q!Comment

Last minute acquisition, I'm bringin' a 10x10 EZ Up in case we need more cover. You can thank me later since that will likely ensure no rain at all.Comment
