A Good Week....

[RoyGBiv]

My Blue Devils are National Champions, my High-schooler received their letter of acceptance into National Honor Society today and my wife will be taking her CHL class this weekend.

To celebrate, I'm smoking a pork butt on Saturday. Carolina style.



I'm feeling fortunate and grateful.
I hope all y'all's week is going just as well.

Share the joy. Post here with some good stuff.!

They use pork butt instead of brisket.

Correct... Carolina BBQ is PORK! And "Down-East" Carolina BBQ is made with a vinegar sauce, not a tomato-based sauce. Even better.!!
I went to a lecture/lunch today... "Pipeline Safety"... The location was Billy Bob's in the Stockyards (gun sign RED ).
They served BBQ..... Brisket.... I laughed thinking about this thread. Brisket was excellent. As was the sausage.

Thanks for the congrats... I was feeling tired of feeling tired.... 6+ years of "progressive" policies has really worn me down.
Figured I'd share some good news.

I had intended, and maybe I should have made this clearer, for this to be a thread where folks could post some personal good news...

Would be a nice distraction from the recent grind.

My favorite Down-East Carolina BBQ Sauce...

Online application submitted on 4-13.
Fingerprints on 4-16.
Electronic documents (CHL-100) submitted on 4-17.
Received CHL on 5-7

24 days from application to receipt.
