Baseball and BBQ

The Mariner's Future


At Peoria with Ron and Diane for the M's Dodgers Game




Storm Clouds on Sunday






Making Smoke








The finished product










We've been to a few baseball games, and will be seeing the Mariners / White Sox game tomorrow. So far I've been impressed with the Mariners hitting. If the pitching holds up, they could make some ripples in the division.
We barbecued ribs and chicken for 138 of our closest friends here at the park today. All went well, and the response was positive. Quite a few folks told me it was the best BBQ they ever had. We were pretty organized, as we had everybody served in about 25 minutes.
The weather's been a little strange lately. We went from the mid 80's last week to the upper 50's for a high yesterday. Thundershowers with snow in the Superstitions over the weekend. Tomorrow we'll be back to the mid 70's, and by Friday we'll be back into the upper 80's.
Kristin is coming in for the weekend on Friday. She's never been here before, so we'll be doing a little sightseeing and probably a short hike. She heads back to Austin Monday morning. Things will slow down a little then with only the BBQ for about 30 scheduled for April first.
Our rough plan is to head out sometime around the middle of April to the first of May. If we go to Austin as planned, we will get home between the first and the middle of May. With a little luck, it will be dry enough to play golf when we get home. Ernie

Mmmmm - I can almost smell that barbecued meat! Sounds like it was a success! So envious of your weather - even the 60 degrees! We're still in the 40's here and it's supposed to be spring! Have a great time with Kristin and will see you guys back in May!
