Just checked your weather and it looks like a perfect day for the BBQ.  Wish I could make it, still on my "to do" list. Congrats on # 14.  I'm sure it will be a success.

This was only the third one I’ve missed and I missed it all day today. I’ve had leg and fatigue issues this winter, a rod went out on the truck and I just couldn’t get the suburban ready.  Send photos.

Tim & Stephanie, 2021 another great event! It was good to see everyone, (at least once a year). I realize how much work, effort and cost there is in putting on an event like this. I cant wait to see that Hemi in the flying brick! We have to work on getting that fork lift running.

good times!  Had a nice relaxing time not thinking about the steaming piles of poo at work!  I'll post some pics when I have time.  

 

Can't wait till next year!

Did you ruin my surprise by posting a pic of the 1941 grill bars I've been hunting for?

Your a good friend ggdad1951, the correct answer is.... Ed, get your butt to the Q next year and pull it yourself ?

Thank you everyone for the best time of the year!!!

I'll sort the pictures I have and post them soon.

 

I was looking at Brent's (Brentb3b) burnout and realized there's no way to save it, so I took a few more pictures for my own memories of Gary. I'm working on a collage of past pictures to give his wife. She contacted me before the show and wished everyone a good time and wants to see the pictures of this BBQ. 

 

Ed......next trip to Minnesota, I'll hand the stainless steel grille bars over.....BUT you owe me a trip to the BBQ before there are no more!!!!!!

 

Thanks to Kevin(Bluzhog53) for bringing the bitchin' ride he won....AND for the excellent sound system.....you are awesome, my friend! 

 

I have admired Charlie's(51Hemi) truck for years. He shows up just about every year and helps knock out the tough stuff weeks before the BBQ. After so many years of being a true friend, it was time to crown his truck "Best Of Show"!!! and yeah, its got a Hemi"!

 

Jim Shepard (Jim Shepard) is the best. He's been a good friend for so long and really the first contact I had with a real Pilot House Era truck.

 

And the long distant travelers.....Oregon, Minnesota, Southern Cal, Nevada....and any I missed. You guys humble me, thank you.

 

I'm just getting older and richer with all my truck buddies.....I appreciate you all. 

 

The plan my wife and I agreed to is, 20 BBQ's......there will be only 6 more Tailgate BBQ's!

 

Hope to see you at one soon!:D

by then it will be such a smooth operation you'll go to 25 or 30 BBQ's!  :P

 

Always good to see my friends on the left coast and Tim, you are a gracious host!  Till next year (but gotta plan better around the FF for this MN kid!)!  ?
