First fish of 2014 and some golf shots

These are pictures from Forest Park golf course. 18 holes, the back 9 are more fun than the front.  More like a warm up for the fun part. This outing was more like a forced march due to the person we were paired with ended up being like a "golf drill instructor".  Learned some things, but it was work.  We went back a couple of weeks later and had a much better time at our own pace.   

First Fish of 2014.  Much like the fish of every year small and a white Perch.  Oh well it was fun.  

2nd place Ribs

Truth be told I lost in the rib competition.  This is the annual cookout that I usually bring the Ice luge.  No luge this year, but they are still using my expertly engineered mount.  

My opinion and in the opinion of the smart people that voted for me, mine were better.  The winner's were not just fall off the bone, in fact they were off the bone.  More like a BBQ sandwich meat with some bones.  They tasted OK, but mine were better flavored.  More smokey and with the sauce they were excellent.  So I learned the masses like mushy ribs.  I like more meaty ribs. Lesson learned, but I will stick with my method.    

The rubbed ribs.

The making of the sauce.  Yes that is rum.

Last Stage of the smoke.

Into the wrap to be finished.
