It's coming up again  Saturday, April 14th. We'll meet up at the Exxon/Denny's/McD's in Hempstead on Hwy290 @ FM1488 ( NE Corner of intersection) at 0800hrs. KSU @ 0830. Be fueled and ready prior to 0830 if you're going with us  The route will be similar to previous years. There's just so many roads that lead to Chicken Fried Bacon after all. Post here if you think you'll want to participate in the Steak and Bacon revelry. Lunch should be around 1100hrs +/- . I need to give Sodolak's a head's up so they can slaughter some additional hogs.  Pork Belly futures are sure to go up now. Make sure your Lipitor prescription is filled. We're counting on the Fog Gods to smile on us again this year.

Not sure if I can pull this one off. I'm running short of Kitchen Passes with GOTF only 2 weeks before.
Will certainly try.

RM, you can have one of mine, they have been pre-approved for the whole year, all I have to do is keep up my promises. Of course, if I break one that means I'm running short, so you may not get to go. Have fun. |

Why do I think that me telling my wife I am going to use one of your passes would not work any better than you telling your wife you were using one of mine? |

If she yells at you, then you know not to try that again. Some things you already know not to try, this may not be one of them. Try it bud, lets see what happens. |

I just feel my new rear bumper will have a longer life if l'm in back I was just cooking breakfast and thinking about your post, when I realized "why" you wanted to be in the very back. Does this explain the absence of a certain person's name when you signed up ? |

I hope you all aren't disappointed next month. Although, I am sure you will find Snook and the bacon stuff.
I saw bluebonnets yesterday, and some indian paintbrush today. Hope is lasts.
