Meatfest was a great success. The imu pit worked out like we knew what we were doing. The ribs were very tender and the chicken was cooked (maybe a little too overdone though) . The food though did not have any smokey flavor, but I guess that was easy to predict as it was steam cooked really. I think the next time we will marinate the chicken in italian dressing. The ribs were tastey though. The pork shoulder could have been done a little more (the temperature probe said 194 degrees, but after letting it rest, I took a reading and it was in the 180's so I do not know how accurate it was. It did not pull as easyily as I would have liked. We had 5 babysitters. Julia brought 3 friends, who can come back any time. They were great and were a real help watching the kids and helping the adults unload cars and other manual labor tasks. The race wasn't that exciting as Hard Spun dashed to the front and stayed there most of the time until at the end when he was passed by a hard charging Street Sense who ultimately won. Overall a good day.

I am starting to get back into the groove as far as my workouts go. My old gym is still not open, so I continue to go to the new one. It is not open as early as my old gym, but I can still get to work on time. I am really disappointed that the gym is not open as I feel I have gotten ripped off of two months worth of dues. I will have to wait to see what happens.

I have an appointment with a head hunter tomorrow. On the one side, I am not too excited as I have not had any leads from the two head hunters that I have previously spoke to, but maybe this one will be different. I will have to me more on top of this one.
