"And then, 521 days later, Dave's Pit Smoked BBQ was opened and the
people came and saw and ate, and it was good."

;-)

Just wanted to remind folks of how this all started.

I've posted my pics from the grand opening, and added the earlier pics
that Dave had posted to A.B.F. as well to give a bit of the historical
timeline. Amazing to compare the first pics of the site to the
finished product.

Again, congratulations to Dave and Jill and family. Hope to be able
to make it up again soon to see how you are settling in.

Nice job Chef, oh how I wish I could have tasted one or two of those
hushpuppies Big Jim was cooking.
It is amazing to see the humble beginnings and the culmination of all of
their hard work.
Kinda gives ya that warm all over feeling, or it could be a buzz, not sure
<G>
No at 6 in the morning it must be that warm all over feeling.

Just read Dave's original post from 521 days ago when the big decision was
made and the wheels started to roll. Wow! I got big time chills! Must be
going around here in Gold Beach this AM. But how Cool!! From a dream to the
real deal. That post is a keeper, if it's this much fun to read it now,
imagine what it will be like on the first anniversary or the fifth or
tenth!! Gabby G'ganna

BAHAHAAA! I like the nick. Glad to see ya posting here.

Chef, you've outdone yourself with that site. Thanks for posting the old
pics as well. Keith will be happy to get to see what it used to look like.

I've been just a lurker off and on for many years, and I feel so honored
to be so warmly welcomed by everyone. Thank you for letting me share in
this great event. A great event it was too!

It's wonderful to see Dave's dream come true.

Agreed. Great pics, thanks! I think that I've "guessed" at the names
and pics. I'm now curious why TFM@ Goes by that "handle" though.

There is a theory that when you pass a certain age your hair regresses
back into your head and leaks out of your ears and nose.
