I'll pitch in my two cents on today's thrilling activities.
After showing the two cloud pictures, DW and I headed to WalMart to grocery shop and pick up stuff for tonight's cookout. Then lunch, a shower, and a nap made the afternoon complete. No rain after the midday Wally World shower went through so we were very fortunate.
I woke up just in time to bike around and take my position when PaHunter rolled by headed to his site. Michael/Tiggerdad, Randy/Southalabama5er, Patrick (JohnDeere1-his name I have assigned him), and myself remain a discreet distance down the road (three sites away) mostly (Joe/Flametamr helped spot him in) while Chris got his rig backed in. In the end, though, we couldn't stay away. I'll leave it to him to describe.
Then it was time to go back to site #4 where I was going to host the first cookout of this DISMeet. Folks brought stuff and showed up around 6pm and we ate about 645pm. We had chicken, hamburgers, and hot dogs. Everybody pitched in and I greatly appreciated it.
You know how shy we all are to be in camera but here was my setup as the charcoal was getting ready.
I think it went okay. I had my Fort Wilderness background loop playing (55 minutes long of bluegrass and associated music) that I "found" on the DIS oh so many years ago (and I have a nice Wilderness Lodge loop too that's almost an hour). Folks stayed and talked as it got dark and we broke up around 830pm and we had 15 people total. As I was cooking, I neglected my duties to take pictures of the food but trust me, it was ALL good.
The moon is bright tonight casting shadows if you can believe it. The sky is pretty clear but it's still warm and humid. If the weather is decent tomorrow morning, I'll break out the new puzzle and we'll get started on it. Garneska and Teamubr, I will miss you folks this year so I'll snap in a corner piece for each of you.
