Ohio Brethren Road Trip?

I'll take that as a compliment, even though I had no input into the game. :becky:

Where I come from, "bastard" is a term of endearment but "a bit of a bastard is not".

it was a term of endearment, for sure:heh:

just decided on the special for this weekend, gonna throw some shoulder clod on the pit for 20+ hours and serve pepper stout beef on a hoagie, with our mac and cheese sauce on top, hope you all show up hungry!

but im not wearing that ugly a$$ hat!
 
Oh dear Lord...there goes at least trying to eat conservatively. I may have to walk back to the hotel loaded up on great food and drink.
 
We hope to be in early evening Friday; depends on when I get away from Johnson City, TN (picking up 3 new dies sets for my tubing bender:becky:)
 
I'll be at the Hampton late Friday afternoon . Here's my cell if you want to hook up 3304021461.
See you all there, and Matt you might need to catch up if you get there that late :becky:
 
We made it to Woodstock at about 7:30 PM last evening after dropping off the cooker for jbounds286 on the way up. Ran over to the brewhouse about 8:00, met ShencoSmoke, and ate some really good turkey w/sides and a few bears for dinner. Jakel and his wife showed up too, really nice folks. We will be headed back over this afternoon/evening and will get some pics.

I just want to add that this place is legit! Great Q & cold beers; if you are anywhere close you owe it to yourself to make the trip.

More later
 
Just got home...funny story. I got pulled over last night on the way back to the hotel. :cop: Got me for 39 in a 25. So, I did the right thing when the lights went on and pulled over into a carpark, put the truck into park, handbrake on, window down and hands on the wheel.

He told me why he stopped me and I apologised, told him I'd looked at my GPS and could have sworn it said the limit was 35. He said it changes to 35 after he the spot got me. Took my license and told me to hang tight. After a minute he came back, handed me my license and said to keep the speed down and he wasn't going to ticket me. Then, he asked me about my accent and what I was doing down there, told him about the Brethren and where we'd been...told me to have a good night.

Anyway, it was great to meet Shenco and dwfisk, and to see jakel again. Food was fantastic, absolutely great. Lamb was really good! Got a little tour of the brewery as well.

Again, great time and well worth the drive. As an added bonus, Shenco gave me a clean drum to redo my UDS. It's tapered at the top so the weber lid will fit straight on it.
