Title: SoCal meetup interest?
Post by: Troy on September 09, 2014, 11:37:39 PM
I guess its time for me to get off my ass and smoke some pork for the southern california guys.

Any interest? I know some of us have met, but not all. Plus I probably owe a t-shirt to a few of you.

I'm in south OC btw.

I'd really like that but it would be hit and miss with me.  Daughter plays Softball (Travel Ball).  Saturday's would probably work for me though.

I'm in for a meetup. What did you have in mind? It'd be great to meet at the beach when the rest of the country is shoveling snow  ;D somewhere with grass of course to limit sand crotch  ;)

Speaking of Dana Point, I'll be competing in a KCBS comp (along with 119 others) there, the first weekend in October. Anyone & everyone is invited. Troy and James stopped by last year.

Thanks Kris! Regardless of meet up I will make it to the comp. my daughter and I had such a great time last year, she still raves about your brisket (for me it  was the thighs) and it's a perfect spot for a comp.  of course I need to clear it with the general.

Troy let's get a plan going for the meet up. October 25 is currently the only day I'm not able to make it. I vote Dana Point or Mission Bay ;)>

Dana point or Mission Bay work for me too. The comp looks like a good time. I hope to check that out too.

So .... I will be traveling to SoCal in a couple of weeks. Have room. If somebody pulls off the following procurement http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/trading-post/$300-ranch-in-phoenix/ , I can transport to Dana Point.

@Troy, I would consider it. 8)

 Okay, how many SoCal members do we have? I'd be happy to donate $30 bucks for the cause. I'd even be willing to store the grill at my house  ;D ;D ;D really though, it'd be like a time share, give $30 and at least once a year you get a Ranch Kettle at your house or available for that special occasion. I think we could set up a good transportation system so no member would have to drive an excessive distance.

I'll pay for it if someone can secure it for transport by Mr K given it's not trashed. I'm serious too.
Title: Re: SoCal meetup interest?
Post by: Troy on September 18, 2014, 11:06:24 PM
shit, i don't know what "secure it for transport" means - but i'll pick it up from his dana point comp and bring it to my house :)

(wait, it might not fit in my forester. I can find a truck though)

OH, @lemisfits has a van =D
Title: Re: SoCal meetup interest?
Post by: lemisfits on September 18, 2014, 11:10:59 PM
Would the ranch fit in a Dodge Caravan? 

It's a company car, so the gas is paid for and it don't give a shit if it get's dinged up.

Post by: pbe gummi bear on September 19, 2014, 09:07:57 PM
@argentflame fits a rk in his van. @Troy will it fit in the forester if you dissemble it?
Title: Re: SoCal meetup interest?
Post by: Troy on September 19, 2014, 09:08:55 PM
