Thank you so much. It is nice to be back with you guys and your support. Robert, I Love BBQ and am well known for my pulled Pork. So anytime you come my way, and that goes for all of you, we will throw some coals on. As far as Robert's NC BBQ, I will definately look you up sometime soon, as pulled pork is your State's specialty.Hopefully, we will all take a respite and chat. The best way to get life back to normal is BBQ smoke, a cold beer and friends. Maybe Blake and I and anyone else interested can set a date this spring and meet for a blowout NC BBQ. I know Blake feels the same way, these friggin Hurricanes are mother natures way of cleaning house, but it is such a HOOVER we don't want to be in her pathway again. If you ever pull out your vacuum cleaner and you have pets, they scatter. Now we know why. Awesome power. 8 hours of 80 MPH winds and one hour of 120 to 135 MPH winds. 80% of us evacuated and 20% stayed and they paid the price. Everything south of Lake Charles is Gone. God Bless you guys in Florida too. If this is a wake up call..........where do I enlist. 8 years Navy subs. All who stayed here that I have talked to said "Never Again". I am sorry if I seem to expound on this, but wish to say that FEMA and the Red Cross came through magnificintaly as well as the State of Louisiana and they are still here cleaning it all up. If you ever face a category 2 or higher, get out, and you will forever be amazed at our country's resources to get you back on your feet. Go Mardis Gras and Go New Orleans, the tough guys.
