Second Annual “Mr. Bones, These Bones Are For You” Memorial Cook; March 24-26, 2023

[klflowers]

I am going to sign up and see if I can make it. Lots of health issues going on with my mom right now so I'm not sure about the timing. I can say for sure that I miss Bonsey though

[RichieB]

Positive thoughts for your mom and you.

[Soonerpop]

Best to you and your mom.

[Clawbear57]

I'll keep you both in my prayers.

[Draznnl]

Looking forward to it. It will be the perfect way to recover from the 3/23 gala b’day celebration.

[DaveD]

Oooo... milestone birthday?? Turning 30, are we?

[Draznnl]

No milestone for me DaveD but sis is hitting one on 3/21 so there will be parties and celebratory activities straight through from St. Patrick’s Day to my b’day. Yep, we Draznnl’s have our own little holiday season🤪🎉🎂

[DaveD]

My lovely bride and I always dedicate at least a week to our birthday celebrations too!

[texastweeter]

I almost never cook baby backs, but grabbed 3 racks just now that were on sale

[Steve B]

Sooooooo. That means you’re down for cook? 😁

[texastweeter]

Steve B wouldn't miss it for the world

Long time member who doesn’t get here as much as I’d like to… I’m totally in on this, and I’ll be doing beef Ribs in Mr. Bones’ memory. On top of being one of (if not THE) first person to welcome me here… on top of never being too busy to kick ANY subject around… Bonsey was always the first to offer encouragement when something was kicking my ass.

Folks, I’m here to tell you that over my decades in the ‘que arena nothing, and I mean NOTHING, has consistently kicked my ass like beef ribs 😡 After every failure, Mr. Bones was always there with advice and encouragement -

“You’ll git em next time.”

There ain’t gonna BE a next time Bones!!! 😡 I’m done with these damn things FOREVER!!!”

”You’ll git em.” 😃

A few weeks back, I played Charlie Brown trying to kick the football with beef ribs again… don’t even know why… and I hit those sumbitches outta the park! 😱😃🙌 Must’ve been the old man looking down on me. 🥲

So this next rack is for you my friend, and I know you’ll be looking down smiling with a cold one in your hand -

“Ah told ya so. 🍻😃👍”

[Steve B]

That’s Bonsey to a tee. Thanks for sharing this story. And really glad you’ll be sending some smoke his way next month.

[Panhead John]

Great story and that sounds exactly like him…..Thanks for sharing that!

[synodog]

I’m going to try and schedule a cook for that weekend but even if it doesn’t work out I’ll be sure to be around for the celebration in honor of bonesy!

[Steve B]

Even if you can’t throw something down that weekend. Cook sumtin the weekend before or after. It’s all good.

[Old Glory]

My sister's wedding is that weekend. Will have to find another day before or after to honor Mr. Bones.

[RichieB]

open bar, what time should I be there?

[Steve B]

That’s what I’m talking about. Even if that weekend doesn’t work out pick another. As I said. We ain’t going anywhere.

[Old Glory]

RichieB ceremony is at 11:00 Lunch to follow. In St. Pete.

[painter]

I might be traveling that weekend but will definitely dedicate and post a cook in honor of Mr. Bones. I believe he was the first to welcome me into the pit with his signature "Welcome from Kansas Territory" line. He is missed.

[Steve B]

Before, during or after is all good. Glad you’re joining in.

[Finster]

I seem to have missed the last one for some reason.
It looks like our calendar is open for that weekend, so count me in...

[Steve B]

Excellent. Looking forward to what you're gonna cook in his memory.

[Smoked Transistors]

Im in for sure ! Thanks

[Steve B]

Excellent.
I like your screen name. 👍

[Alan Brice]

I would not miss cookin some bones in Bonesy"s honor! Keep Calm and Smoke On. <3

[Steve B]

That’s great Alan.
Ahhh. Those famous words. It’s amazing how many little things bring back his memories.

[texastweeter]

Whats the count so far or entry's? We gonna do a map again?

[Steve B]

I think we’re up to 40 so far. I’ll check with Spinaker to see if he can make up a map as we get closer to the event.

[Soonerpop]

Bones for Bones. What could be better?

[Steve B]

You got that right. I can’t think of anything.

[Clawbear57]

I didn't know him, but I feel like I know him from the stories I've heard. Count me in.

[Steve B]

Awesome. One of the things that made him so special is that he touched people that never even knew him. That says a lot about someone.

[gdsim1]

OMG!!! This actually gave me an idea / question - is there a way to do a search of the forum to where someone could read all of Mr. Bones’ posts? Some of that stuff would rank right up there with Yogi Berra quotes! 🤣🤣🤣

[bardsleyque]

Just so happens I have an event on the 24th, I'm in!

[Steve B]

Sooo this is the event? Who woulda thought you already had this planned out.

[texastweeter]

Lil pregame for tomorrow

[texastweeter]

[Spinaker]

Hey, I managed to cook four racks of ribs in Grand Cayman, I’m sure you will figure it out. 🤷🏼♂️😂 texastweeter

[Alan Brice]
