@Cellar2ful , Dammit Jim! Did you even check an event calendar of the surrounding area to make sure there was nothing else of interest going on??  WELL, DID YOU?!  I didn't think so... Because the Monterey Bacon Festival is the same day as our Meat up!  all in fun bud.. Who knew?

Crap! Thanks Darin, now I'm in trouble with Karen for making her miss the Bacon Festival.  We would probably have gone to it. Maybe next year.

Would a move to the Monterey area be a bad idea then?

I'm in Antioch and Monterey is a 2 hour drive. San Pablo res is already an hour plus for the Sacramento guys.

So, should we just add bacon to everything?

Your work is "Adulting?"

I don't know what that is, but all sorts of things come to mind.

Hey Jim, with the current heat wave continuing to the weekend, are they gonna let us burn at the park?

And by burn I mean charcoal/lump

I just called and spoke with EBMUD.  Looks like everything should be fine for this Saturday. The predicted temperature for San Pablo on Saturday is 79 degrees.  They are currently at a Level 1 fire alert with this heat spell.  No smoking (cigarettes or ganja) within the park.  Charcoal BBQing is not restricted at this time.  If the local Fire Department raises the fire danger to a level 2, then charcoal BBQing will be restricted.  I will check back with them on Thursday and Friday to make sure we are good.  If it looks like a Level 2 is going to be in effect, we can have a show and shine with the kettles and bring the food pre-cooked.  Pretty much all we can do if it happens.  No matter what, the beer and wine will be cold, food great, kettles in their glory and plenty of food to go around.

Because of it's close proximity to the Bay, it is much cooler in San Pablo.  Only 78 there today now. Here is a link for the temperatures in San Pablo.

*"Spare the Air" alerts do not currently apply to charcoal BBQ's. Per CARB (California Air Resources Board) charcoal BBQing restrictions will be included within the next few years in Spare the Air days.
