Hi Guys! Long time, no post.

Chez Bubba · July 05, 2006, 07:40:23 PM

I just wanted to say hi to all of you who I "converse" with regularly here & let you know why I've been absent lately.

The real job is exceptionally busy. CB has been exceptionally busy. These are good things. We also have until the end of the month to prepare the basement for the contractor to come in & finish the project I started 10 years ago.

When I get home at 6:30 and help Anne pack boxes until 9:00, it's hard to look her in the eye & say I want to go to the forum for a couple of hours. My priorities are:

1) Anne
2) Real job
3) Shipping your orders
4) Forum

Besides, it's not like this great group we've become can't survive without me for a while.

I know there are topics out there that are asking me a direct question & I apologize for not sifting through & replying. Right now, if you have a direct question, please email me ([email protected]), that I am still dilligent in responding to.

Happy smokin' all & I'll be making wiseass comments on your posts soon! ;) ;D

If it is anything like my last experience with contractors (no offense to any contractor on the board), you should be done in another 10 years. Contractors in my area have all over committed and are way behind schedule.

Glad to see things are going good, and you certainly have your priorities right.

Good luck Chez. I've only been trying to get the copper roof refinished the right way for 5 years. Ann was trying to get a deck builder out to the house for a small addition and was told "mabe in a couple years".
Well I'm now an official carpenter around the place. LOL ::) :o :D
BTW you have the priority list bullseyed. Have a good one. ;)

Understand as you explained via the phone... it is just good for the members to know that the one person who stood here in the beginning alone is still around.

Hi CB I have definitely missed your postings especially the ones that find bits of humor in things most of us just read over ;D ;D ;D.

I can attest to #2 being true, because when Kirk is busy with that it usually means he's waiting on something from me! Thanks for taking the time to answer my smoking related questions at the end of business related phone calls. And no, I don't bill you for that time. ;D

Chez Bubba · July 12, 2006, 08:31:52 PM

IWISH_smoker,

If I billed you back for the advice, you'd probably come out negative! ;D ;D

Glad to see you've come to the forums, these guys can tell you thousands of times what I can. (Except when it comes to butts, because I will lay my stake to fame as BD swingin' until someone can topple me.)

We've got to take the wives out for a dinner next 500. Come on..., admit it..., she's your wife! ;) I'm not going to do the guy trip, but will trying to figure out how to still participate in www.campandbrew.com to raise more money for http://www.220mph.com/brianswish/brianswish_main.htm.

Elmo's for cocktail & Ruth's for steak or are you up for some sushi?

irish_smoker · July 13, 2006, 09:30:44 AM

The (soon to be) wife and i would definitely be up for elmo's, ruth's or sushi. she actually hostesses at ruth's one night every couple weeks and therefore has a 40% employee discount. we take advantage of that as often as possible.

just don't let anyone schedule a wedding for 500 weekend next year and we'll see you there.
