Howdy all,
Just got back from Burnet today and I must say it was a great weekend. So lets get the stats out of the way. I pretty much bombed out. The only thing that really had any show at all was the brisket making final table. If they were placing higher than 10 places, it been around 15th place. Out of 61 teams it wasn't too bad. Everything cooked really fast for some reason so I was scrambling to slow it all down so as you can guess everything was overcooked. It was great meeting up with friends and making some new ones. I even met a few from the forum who I never met before. I always like to personally meet our forum members when possible. A big thanks goes out to the Burnet County Sherriff for his hospitality. I believe his name is Joe Pollack. This man and his crew really busted their backsides to make sure all the competitors were fed Friday night and Saturday morning. My space was near where they were setup and they were some kind of busy over there. Near as I can tell the overall event was very smooth and a great success. Even the Whiskey man who was such a thorn in my backside at Austin was somewhat subdued. But then again I was on the otherside of the park from him. :) Other than a touch of rain Saturday afternoon the weather was great. Congrats out to Linda Kolar and her first place brisket and Walker Keeney named GC.
