It was a real CB BBQ...
I had a great weekend! I worked Saturday morning, but then it was off to Troy's (my brother) for the pre-summer barbeque. Or as we called it, the "ber-be-cue." It was a weird affair... it was a mix of a family cook-out, birthday party for my sister and a friend of ours, and a good old fashioned drinkin' and eatin' BBQ.
The party started at 4 PM-ish, and the family all left by 8 PM, leaving only the drunks... I mean, party animals to finish out the night. The official end time was 4:30 AM. So I missed a lot of great times, I am sure. I'll let Troy relay that info.
The digital camera was clickin', until I filled up my memory card... I had too many old pix on the card... so I missed out on a lot. There were a lot of people there that I don't have pictures of. I didn't want to flood this site with too many pix, so you can head over to Troy's page to see more. And if you wait until later today, I am sure he'll write his own post about what went down. Expect more BBQ's to come.
The highlight of the day for me had to be when...
...not everyone had arrived yet. Mostly it wsa just the 5 members of my family, my nephew, my wife, Buck, and Stoltz. Mark had speakers propped up inside the windows of his house, and we were blaring The Doors (another Smith trademark). My dad, with a grin, said "It was 1968, and we were doing this exact same thing, except with different people and I was drinking." Dad stopped drinking when I was in high school, by the way. It was a great comment because it was true... and it is easy to see that Troy and I are just living out the family tradtion. More Troy than me, but you get the point.
The worst thing about the BBQ was that the Hank Williams Sr. CD wouldn't play for some reason. Anyway, a good time was had by all. I did a lot of other fun stuff this weekend, but I just wanted to give an update on the BBQ. So, Bubblegoose fans, prepare yourself for the next round. Troy says he is going to host these all summer. And of course, you'll be invited soon enough!
Horns up.
