A wonderful time was had by all. I would like to thank Brain and his family for sponsoring this event. Year after year Brian has opened his home and extended his hospitality.  Brian is a bears fan but I think he's a great guy also.  Good weather, great food, new and old friends, an enjoyable day,  All I can say is thanks again.

On to the incident

OH comon man, that totally violates the Respect in the RRR motto.  Unreal


He appears to he holding the Packers smokey Joe lid as he is releaving himself on the Lions grill.

Yup


Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!  I thought I was respecting the RRR motto.  Research, Recon, & Relieve.  That [emoji90] was not me.  If it were, that Lions MT woulda looked like a Coppermist.

@Craig  -  So about the lid.....It looks like there was some sort of logo on it at some point that caused that area to not fade as much as the rest of the lid.  Appears to be a cupcake, mushroom, or chefs hat, or at least that is what I make of it.  Interested to see if the darker spot is what you are hinting at and what the story is behind it.
