TOMMIE'S WISCONSIN STYLE BBQ

TOMMIE GETS HIS VERY OWN DRIVERS CLUB T SHIRT

GOING TO TOMMIE'S HOUSE IS LIKE GOING TO SEE FAMILY, AND IS ALWAYS THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP.  TO THANK TOMMIE AND MO FOR THEIR HOSPITALITY THE DC TREATED TOMMIE, MO, JIM, KATIE, TIM AND ELLEN TO A REAL WISCONSIN COOKOUT.  THEY EVEN WENT AS FAR AS BRINGING L&M STEAK BRATS, CHEESE CURDS, AND A KRINGLE ALL THE WAY DOWN FROM WISCONSIN.

JIM IS FROM TEXAS.  WE ARE NOT SURE WHY BUT HE IS VERY PROUD OF IT.  FOR THE BBQ HE BROUGHT HE DAUGHTER KATIE.

JIM MADE SOME COMMENTS AFTER THE RIDE LAST YEAR TO WHICH RUMME RETORTED "HOW DID YOU LIKE THE BACK OF OUR JERSEYS"

WHEN WE REALIZED WE NEVER SAW THE BACK OF JIM'S JERSEY (HE WAS NEVER IN FRONT OF US) DAN DECIDED TO MAKE HIM A SPECIAL BACKWARDS JERSEY SO WE COULD FINALLY SEE IT.

DAN MADE MO SOME HEMP BRACELETS

EVEN TIM AND ELLEN CAME TO THE COOKOUT

WHILE WATCHING TOMMIE LEARN HOW TO COOK BRATS RUMME AND HEATHER RELAX AND DAN TELLS TALL TALES OF ADVENTURES IN GOLD HILL

AFTER DINNER IT WAS TIME FOR A BONFIRE IN TOMMIE'S NEW FIRE PIT.  APPARENTLY STEALING EACH OTHERS FIREWOOD IS GOOD SPORT IN TOMMIE'S NEIGHBORHOOD.

THIS IS TOMMIE'S NEIGHBOR DARBY.  DARBY IS FROM KENOSHA (SMALL WORLD)

DARBY LIKED HEATHER BUT COULDN'T GET ANY DIGITS

CHRIS RELAXES AFTER EATING SMORES

FINALLY AS THE NIGHT WORE ON WE GOT A VISIT FROM GLINDA THE GOOD WITCH.  I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP.  LATER HER HUSBAND JACK SHOWED UP JUST TO MAKE SURE TOMMIE WASN'T BURNING ANY OF HIS FIREWOOD.

THANK YOU TOMMIE AND MO FOR ANOTHER GREAT VISIT IT'S ALWAYS THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP.  HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR WE CAN BRING EVEN MORE DRIVERS CLUB MEMBERS DOWN.
