Gulf State Park DIS Meet 2019 (Episode 4)

Can't blame me for trying.

Oh, can I have my credit card back?
 


Last night got a phone call from my sister in Boston that has us scrambling today to cancel all our plans. My mother is in the Hospital for the second time in the last 2 months. She apparently is suffering from capillary internal bleeding and it doesn't show on the imaging scans she has undergone to date. This turn says we need to stay close to home and within hours of NY in case. I am disappointed but sometimes life happens or as my friend reminds me" If you want to hear God Laugh tell him YOUR PLANS."

Sorry to hear that. Prayers for the family.
 
Thanks Chris. She is stable and is supposed to be released tomorrow but with all her other health issues just better idea to stay close to home for now.

I am sorry to hear this Mike, but completely agree with your plan to stay close to home. We'll put you and your family in our prayers.

Shame, was really looking forward to meeting up but we'll make it happen sometime.
 
69 each morning sounds fantastic. Good puzzle weather. And upper 80s will be perfect beach weather.

I was looking forward to meeting you as well Hopefully next October in the Fort.
 
Mike we hope your Mom will be 100% well. I guess I should add Grumpy Aggie to prayers - 22 yrs ago he had lung cancer in his upper & middle lobe. Now they found a mass growing in his lower lobe. We go to the doctor this Tuesday to see what this is. Our family doctor thinks it is scare tissue, so that is what we are praying for. Still no part to be found for the truck, will be 3 was Wed. We are so sad that we will not be with all of you. I have to know what Ed’s surprise will be. Please share! All have fun!!
 
Mike I pray your Mom is okay and I hate we will miss a chance at meeting you this trip. I finally got the smoker yesterday (insert story in person here) and cooked a little steak after assembling it. Man it was so good. Anyone that has ideas or recipes for cooking or smoking meats let me know. I'm defiantly going to smoke some Boston Butts for BBQ sandwiches. Doing a big beef brisket and maybe ribs for dinner one night and who knows what else. I don't think you guys will mind me experimenting as long as it's edible. Right ?

Nope, experimenting is the best way to learn. I got 4 racks of baby back ribs and no grill big enough. Randy was going to possibly cook them on his, but we can use yours. I got some rub I like to use and I got Sweet Baby Rays as well. I can do some beans and/or corn. We'll plan it out once we're there.

Oh, certainly will add him to prayer list as well. Keep us updated.
 
I take your post as a positive indicator on your wife, Bishoparc. I did remember her and you this past week starting on Monday. And IIRC she has a follow-up this week.

Thanks Ed, we appreciate it! She seems to be doing pretty good. Pain comes and goes. My biggest hurdle is making her rest. She's getting cabin fever so I have to remind her she's got to sit or lay down.
 
Getting so excited to see everyone! You all have always been such a fun group to read with here on the boards. I know my participation has been off and on but I do sincerely appreciate each and every one of you!

We have 2 Kayaks, do you all want me to bring them? I don't mind folks using them. We'll bring some games that we have around too.

Just looking forward to a week of sitting around with a great group of folks!
