Another cool night

We have another cool night in store for us here at Poverty Flats. The temp. dropped to 42 last night. I was ouside cooking BBQ all night and it was pretty cool. I don't particularly like really cold weather, but after a really hot summer the cooldown feels pretty good. Guess we had better enjoy it while we can because as we all know, it is going to get a lot colder in the near future. I can just picture myself wadding through snow up to my beltbuckle to light a fire in the smoker to cook BBQ. South Texas was never like that !! Down there, when it gets too cold to go skinny-dipping in the Gulf, it's wintertime.
Well, the weatherman on the local TV station says it is going to start warming back up tomorrow. Hope he is right for a change. We have a big festival over at Girard KS this Saturday that will run from 9am until 10 or 11pm. The weather is supposed to be great with temp in the low 80's and sunny all day. We are expecting to do really well at this event. It will be our first time to sell BBQ in Kansas. Those folks just don't know what they have been missing.
We have had an unbelievably great festival season this year. The response to our BBQ has been far and away beyond anything we could have imagined. We have had the opportunuty to meet a lot of new people, we've had a great time doing what we do, and made a pile of money in the process. You just can't get much better than that !!!!!
We are still looking at landing a spot locally to set up and sell BBQ weekly thru the winter months. I just have to get back to the owner of the property and tie up the deal. We have gotten a lot of local name recognition this year and a lot of folks keep asking when our BBQ will be available locally. We are already doing some local catering and I think we will do well with the spot.
We have already added some new equipment to the BBQ truck and we will soon be adding to the menu as well. Soon we will be adding potato salad and cole slaw to accompany our already popular BBQ ranch-style beans. AND, as soon as we can get everything approved with the health dept., we will begin to bottle and sell our BBQ sauce. We still have to get our label designed, and still have to decide on a name for it. So far, we just call it 'our sauce '. Granny says we need to have a contest to find a good name for the sauce. Don't know. Maybe .
This has all just snowballed beyond the original plan of just once or twice a month to suppliment our retirement income. I guess it goes to show again that GOD's word is true. Jeremiah 33:3 says " Call on me and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not ".
It's late, I'm tired, and a warm bed is waiting. Via Con Dios to all .
