BBQ Monday Night

I've mentioned it in a few threads, but figured I'd start a dedicated one to ensure it's seen by all.

Back by popular demand, it's the HondaGal's BBQ in the pits after riding on Monday. We'll be bringing a small grill and some food to share. We've got some paper plates and plasticware.

So, if you have a small grill, bring it if you can. Get some food to throw on the grill, bring your favorite beverage, pull up a chair and enjoy some bench-racing after the first day of riding!

I'm going to do a bit of research to see what I'll be allowed to take across the border in the cooler...but I'm hoping to be in for a big batch of pasta and/or potato salad. We'll shop for the rest once we get to the area!

Thanks to everyone for making this the best attended BBQ ever, and for trying out my new recipe for the chicken kabobs!

Any time my friend. I just wanted to make sure that you weren't going to be too sore from the little bus stop incident. "Pepsi" seems to help that

I'm in the green shirt, blue jeans, and faded hat in the lower left of the fourth picture.

Okay, from the left I'll rattle off the very lower left picture.

JH41's left arm, tm_dearborne, Decker, gt-702, bwhip, NorthernRR (at the grill), Sheep, HondaGalToo, Seamus. Then Double Dan's back with my arm just showing behind him.

Actually, that's HondaGal at the grill in that pic. Don't worry, everyone mixes us up at first, hang around more and you'll get it straight!
I managed to not be in any of those pics, except I think way in the background of one!

mrsmaxib and I in the last pic.

Diving whale in the previous pic. I didn't know there were that many whales around the Grattan area!
