I promise to be attending this time around. I've already told family and friends that I don't care if they die in a horrific Space X explosion that takes Fla off the map, you will see my grey SUV driving out of the melee like Mad Max, headed west. In that case, I will need to bring my dog Vivy, so beware. I'm glad it is Lafayette, not just because Cajun is a nice change from bbq (also can't really get Cajun here, although I can get everything else from Cuban to Ethiopian), but also it's close enough to drive. I've tried to avoid the news lately, but hard not to notice all the airline issues, what with repeated delays, weather, etc, and I'd much rather mosey there in my car. Can stop whenever I want, bring cooler, bag the airport yada yada, so I'll be there.Comment

If there’s a conflict, tell your boss to call me, I’ll take care of it for you. 🤓 -
Panhead John If I end with a letter in my HR file, I want it to be for something **I** did.

If you click on the link to Johnson’s Boucanaire and then click on Reviews and Press, it says that The Food Network named them Louisiana’s Top BBQ Restaurant in 2022! -
LA Pork Butt no, they aren't, but they do have good red beans and rice! I also like their roasted corn grits. I recommended it because it's a winner with locals. 58limited Johnson's is good - try their boneless rib (spicy Cajun rub) and/or boudin.

My heart says go, but my checkbook says sit your butt down dummy. I am however already working out how to turn a Spring in the Spring Meat-up into a week long vacation.

Anyway, she’s going to send me the agreement to sign tomorrow, soon afterwards I’ll have the link for us to use to book our rooms. Stay tuned for more earth shattering developments! 🙄

One day I’ll get to this adventure, however, this year I have my annual pheasant hunting trip in SD as I’m trying to keep folks safe from the bird overpopulation and the bird flu. I’m accepting 7 1/2 shot high brass shotgun shells as donations in a gauge but 10.
I know you all will have a ball and look forward to reading about and seeing pics of the adventures.Comment

Any of those three places… sorry, can’t make it this year. But next year, I’d like to try to be there. Louisiana, Kentucky maybe even Mississippi or Alabama.Comment

Unfortunately this one conflicts with grandsons wedding. Also the kids didn't draw elk licenses this year so that gang won't be here which was our second possible conflict. Hopefully April works out, too much fun last time.Comment

Panhead, has the agreement been signed? I'm ready to sign up. My brother might even come.Comment

No mention of Top Ranked Pillow Fighting, I think we're good! -
No intoxication or vulgar language?!?! I’m having second thoughts about even going now…..😳
Donw Maybe the Massachusetts State Troopers offered a better deal than the Louisiana State Troopers? 🤔

Hey Fireball, ( you know who you are) what about late night karaoke with drunk parents of a volleyball team from Louisiana ?

We were at Hilton Grand Vacations in Orlando once. Someone took their infant into the HUGE pool, like water park sized, and the poor kid’s bowels emptied. They had to drain, clean and sanitize, and refill the pool. It took most of a week. Guests were pissed. Even though there was another pool, the one that had been fouled was the really nice one with the slides and waterfalls etc.. Not sure if there were repercussions for that guest.
