Ruined a few stakes from a local butcher Ashley Rae-McCandless found. I think i ruined them. Let's hope the horde of children and beautiful wife Sylvette McCandless approve. That does magic.

We had a big day for the Big Family today at Elgin VFW post 6115 . It was a great BBQ for the Brave. Here is how we did.

23rd chicken. 😞
12th ribs 👍
5th place brisket 🏆
Good enough for 10th and we came home with a trophy. It was great seeing my buddies out there and im glad I got to see everyone walk. The boys didn't get a call on the first attempt in kids Que but they're champs in my book. George came out on top of the stack between them with 4th place though.
