Almost Time

Postby GRailsback » Thu Feb 09, 2023 3:38 pm

When I lite the fires, and turn on the bright lights, open up the coolers, and turn up some Merle, they come out of the wood work for the party.

When it’s time for the cleaning and the sanding and grinding and the painting and the washing, the days get lonely, I promise. Once I get it ready I’ll send some new photos, it moves into Houston for the cookoff on the 18th. Caught a pretty dry day with no rain and no humidity and no wind to paint today.

If ya’ll just think I sit around and drink beer…..your right.

Painting is complete, and final bath. Still have to install some new gauges, and dress up the tires, then put the sides down and wash them.

No sir, just early move in for big pits tomorrow. Cookoff opens up this coming Thursday. Then the rodeo starts the following Tuesday I believe. Have to get the pits spotted so the tent rental companies came come in and build the tents.
