Hey, Mike N,

I tried to look at the slide show, but the website won't open.  Tried 3 different browsers.

GO DaDDY websites are down and it is affecting numerous web pages, I looked at this site this morning and it was fine. I think its because of the national computer issue.

Mike, what a great event. Everything seem to go off with out a hitch. Looks like we have to come back to defend our title. Just hope gas is cheaper next year. That's a big hill to climb to Springerville.

Well, this is a little belated, but I wanted to thank everyone who helped me unload and set up and tear down and load up.  Particularly Dan (Crazy Pig), Smitty (Loot N Booty), and Roberet (Glazed and Confused).  Also thanks to Raul (Fire & Desire) for your help, too.

And Dan, thanks also for your advice and help during the cook.  For once, the brisket wasn't overdone or underdone.

That was a great event, Mike & Mike.

You're welcome Mike P, nice job on your brisket walk too. Anytime you need help loading or unloading for a competition, don't hesitate to call, I live right down the street ( In the working mans area.... Not that swanky area you live in)

Swanky???  I don't even have a paved driveway.

Thanks Smitty and Dan for the brisket compliments.  I tried to replicate it this past weekend at the Tucson Homebrew Club's Oktoberfest Friday to Sunday) on Mt. Lemmon.  Unfortunately, I did overcook it -- which means it was perfect for the beer folks.

Yep, all Brethren now that we all agree ASU is tops!

Not sure what they may be tops in, since UA won the College world series, obviously has a MUCH better basketball team, and has a football team in the top 25, while ASU is ranked............What?  Oh, yeah, not ranked, just rank.
