I had a competition planned for this weekend but I drove up to check out the venue and it had been under water. It wasn't under when I was there but the Osage River was right to it. It looked like a bad situation to me so I pulled out of it and I'll try the Route 66 Festival here in Springfield instead. However I have some relatives from the "Boot Heel" staying in Branson this week. They always have a family golf tournament and they always bring BBQ. This year instead of them bringing it I'm going to supply it. I have to feed 30 people and then they want left overs. I consider this my first cater. I have a 17 lb brisket along with a 7 lber and then three pork butts two 7 lbers and a 5 lber. About 40 lbs uncooked meat. After cooking it's going to reduce to about 60% of that. There should be enough to feed 50 people. That seems like way to much but they said they wanted leftovers. I've got my work cut out for me tomorrow. I need to get the meat on by 7:00 AM and then hope it gets done by 10:00 pm so I can get to bed by midnight so I can get enough rest to golf at 9:00 the next morning. Ozark National. Wish me luck!
