Mini Bike,now with white walls!

Mini bike time!

Picked up a used Murray mini bike.

Lexington North Carolina. BBQ Captiol of the world,more BBQ joints per capita then any other city. 21 BBQ joints,21,000 residents,or 1 BBq joint per 1,000 people. That’s my kind of town. And like any great small town,there is a rivalry. Lexington #1 or Speedy’s. This is my 3rd trip to Lexington,and I’ve never eaten the same place twice. While the wife doesn’t understand my affection for carolina BBQ,I don’t care to try and explain. It’s just good. I like my slaw on my Q.

Lexington #1 was a little hard to find,but once we got there,it’s obvious this place was popular.It’s a big joint,with alot of smoke. Drive up eating was an interesting site as well. I liked it so much,I had 2!

I’ve never had bad BBQ…till now.

I’m probably the worst BBQ critic. I like it all,and I’ve always said,I’ve never had bad BBQ,just different BBQ. Well,that’s changed. It was bound to happen! I got here to Jimbo’s a little early for lunch,and was highly dissapointed. Meat was tough,suace litterally sucked,fries undercooked,and what’s the deal with the pickled peppers? Seriously? No thank you. Surprised they’ve been in business since 1964.

Back in Colorado

We had to make a trip out to denver again,this time in March. What beautiful country! We saw alot of snow,something my father (who joined us) hadn’t seen in many many years. Damn it was cold. It got down to 8 degrees in the mountains. Apparently,we landed in the middle of a massive snowstorm,that allowed locals to have a “Snow Day”. being the stupid tourists,we had no idea,and were trotting around town. That’s all it takes for a snow day? Whimps!

Jaymer-Ques Southern BBQ

deep into brandon,and off the beaten trail for me,is Jaymer-Que Southern BBQ. Some good BBQ,but I couldn’t get babyback ribs during the first visit,as they only make them on certain days,and then they only make so many,so be sure to come early. We actually returned that weekend to try the ribs,and even though the had no dry-rub available,we pciked up the sauced versions. Of course,we got 3 full racks,which by 7pm on a Saturday,cleaned them out. took some freinds as well. They enjoyed it. Good BBQ,but a little out of the way for us. Jaymer was actually there during my first visit. Had a great talk with him. I reccomend if your in the area!

Hot Rod Deluxe Cadillac 390 Article

Hot Rod Deluxe did a wonderful performance article on the Cadillac 390 a few years ago,Unfortunately,the magazine sold out and is impossible to get. Well,I got a scanned copy of the article. Enjoy!

Halloween 2009 –Necropolis!

I am so sore! It took everything I had in me to make it through this weekend. We started early in the a.m. on friday to finalize things,and then reset the area for Saturday night’s festivities. Then we spent most of Sunday taking it all down. Alot of work,but well worth it. Expect bigger and better next year. To view the gallery:Halloween Gallery
