What's Next? I Don't Want To Know

Had to pull double duty today. First off, in what seems to be a never ending string of trailer calamities, the waste water holding tank had frozen solid. Now keep in mind, we'd added some antifreeze to the tank, but it still froze solid. Another day open lost.

I rented a 150,000 BTU kerosene heater and finally got things unthawed so we can be open tomorrow. I hope folks understand, this two week arctic blast really did a number on our plans to be up and running full-time.

Meanwhile, as the heater heated I had to prepare for our first catering job tomorrow. We're doing lunch for 40 folks at The Bridge Church, where our serving trailer is located. We had gone to Sam's yesterday to get a case of Pork Butts, which they had plenty of. Problem was we opened the box to refrigerate the butts, but they weren't butts; they were babyback ribs. I even bought a Lottery scratcher game ticket today and it was a loser. Should've known.

After getting the real case of Pork Butts, I injected, seasoned and put 6 butts on the pit. Made enough baked beans to feed Cox and his army and slaw's being made tomorrow.

After the past few days, I've felt like FEMA with a BBQ pit. Warmer weather should help two things get going in the right direction, fewer problems and more customers wanting some good 'cue.
