Oh yeah, to be fair. Cattleman's asked the PCA group to not come as a group for the same reason the Bavarian place did. We said a certain number were going to show up, and less than half did. They reserved a big area and the group only took up a couple of tables.

Reserving places for the local PCA was difficult when I was pres. Sometimes a lot of people would show up, and sometimes very few showed up and there was no real indication of when the group was going to be big or small.

The bavarian place asked the group to not come back because one time we reserved for a small group and a whole lot more showed up, straining both their staff and kitchen making service slow and them running out of stuff. The next time we reserved it for a large group and almost nobody showed up and they were left with a lot of food and several extra staff members they had brought in for the group.

Yea, Earl's has good ribs. And a pretty good BBQ. My favorite is the cheddar burger.

When I have the PCA region board meeting at our house I call them and tell them I have a bunch of me coming. I have $100 budget and they supply a huge supply of various BBS items. Pulled Pork, sliced brisket, ribs, turkey, hot links and a ton of fries and fried okra. They have a location just a few miles from my house.

I like Earls.
My Nephew usually gives me an Earls gift card for Christmas.
I often call and pick up a pound of pulled pork and some sauce.
I pick it up going thru the drive thru. Pepper always makes a big fuss and says hello to them.
They give me as much scraps for Pepper as they give me pulled pork.
A couple of times they have given me a bunch of rib short ends for Pepper, Meat and all.
I also keep a BBQ sauce bottle in the fridge I pour the extra sauce in to make a mix of the mild and hot, My favorite.

Several friends claim Earls has the best cheddar burger in town.

Well...I have raised a nephew in his troubled teens from 13 to 16, taken care of a brother with MS, and my elderly Mom. And I currently have a bedroom I haven't decided what to do with yet.

The nephew became a Veterinarian specifically because of my Golden Retriever, Penny. I still miss Penny and it has been 15 years.

OKC does have a resevwah with an active sailing club.

The only downside is they are all dead now.

Lookin good Sidney. Think mine may have been easier to install with the planking going on the floor.



Didn't realize Mom was in the kitchen when I snapped the pic. She thought she was ducking out of the pic, LOL.

Morning all. The floor looks good Sid. You need a bigger fridge to hold more pictures!

OUCH. One of our software packages is up for renewal. $4,700 gone. Golly buying software is fun.

Mernin

Yesterday would have been a great day to sleep on a couch out on my covered front porch, 72°F, drizzling rain, and no wind. zzzzzzzzz Hibernation practice.

My fridge don't got pictures there no more. Those was family photos ta help Mom remember who those people were. After someone came to visit or we got back from a family gathering, she would check those pictures to see who she had been talking to.

Especially when you already have the software, or in some cases the hardware also.

Don't know how some of the companies expect to keep their customers if they keep charging them money to be their customers.

Yea, the software stops working once it is out of date. If you are not connected to the internet when you launch the package no luck. You get about 5 starts with no internet before it just says call customer service. It even checks before some steps move to the next step. It is amazing software. It takes the individual still photos, stitches them together and makes a 3D model of the area. Then we can that that data and make a movie and do a virtual fly through.

Remember, these are not videos. They are all from hundreds of individual still photographs.

Just go outside, write your name in the lawn and see if your name appears in a couple of days.
