After working all day, I headed over to Kaiserville to pick up my big 20' trailer and load the little 'baby pit' for a weekend of cooking burgers and sausage wraps for the guys.  I headed home and then loaded up the jeep along with everything I would need for the weekend and was on the road to Temple by 7pm.

About 8:30 or so I rolled in, found the group and unloaded everything.  This was to be a simple cook for the guys this time.  "Jeep Burgers" and sausage wraps.  A jeep burger is basically a jalapeno bacon cheesburger with some 'extras' added like a mango-ginger-habanaro pepper glaze and some seasonings.   Danny, Toby and I were staying in town, so we headed in from the airport, had a quick bite of Mexican food and called it a night.

Saturday morning we were met with gray skies and a light mist.  Argh......  It's just not fun to cook in weather like this.  After all, it was only a 30% chance of rain and it was a dark morning to boot.  The evening before I had left a tray of packaged Danish and a box of OJ for the guys as I said I'd provide breakfast too.  We have some members who opt to stay at the show in their large trucks.

I fired up the pit and prepped the burgers and fixings as well as tossed on a variety of  sausage links.  We had planned on about 16 people for Saturday lunch and 15 for Sunday lunch so I cooked the whole 'bag' of 24 burgers each day.  One thing we do when there are leftovers is to invite anybody walking the show to eat a free burger.  We had a few takers both days and they were appreciative.  Saturday I also warmed up a pork butt that I had from the Muster Day event and that disappeared in flour tortillas in short order.  

Sunday was the same but with the addition of some venison sausage from Don L. out of Bryan/College Station.  That was some good eating!  Two kinds of chips complimented the burgers along with 'pogey bait' from Rory and Jeff.

The airshow was fun although we all decided we don't go for the shows or crowds anymore.  We go for the food and friendship and all our discussions sipping whiskey, smoking cigars and trying to solve the worlds problems with some very fine aircraft overhead.
