The group shares excitement about the gift and the potential for future gatherings centered around smoking food. There are humorous exchanges about the logistics of the delivery, potential weather disruptions, and the emotional impact of the gift on Evo, who feels overwhelmed by the kindness shown by the group.

That was my second choice for the "bd" thing: Blue Dome
Chrome Dome is an American term for someone with a bald head. Ergo, Blue Dome would be someone who looks like Borek. All hail captain Blue Dome!

It was shipped from Phoenix, so so far it goes in the right direction.

They're predicting tornadoes again.
Do not let my smoker get hit by a tornado!

As long as the smoker is nowhere near you when the tornadoes arrive, it should be fine, shouldn't it?

If this were anyone else except you, I would laugh it off. That being said, the biggest gift I wish for you is for you to regain some degree of health, and to be able to get about and do the things you truly enjoy with those who are closest to you liking smoking foods to perfection.Evo said:

Note that I reported Albuquerque much after it left it, it didn't make it THAT fast.

Oh dear. I hope this wasn't shipped UPS or FedEx. They don't deliver on Saturdays, and it's getting late in Kansas.
though, I do have connections with both shippers, and can make magic happen.
but then again, I cannot trump the tornado gods.

Left Wichita.
Unfortunately, it is UPS. Delivery is scheduled for May 1st, but from the way it is moving looks like it should have no problems reaching Evo on Monday - right on time.

"Right on time" is not in the Brown handbook! We hav RULES!Borek said:
Seriously, USPS is much better for smaller stuff. FedEx is much better for bigger stuff, BUT if the shipper is going cheap, you can get screwed. FedEx Ground stinks here in Maine. They often farm their deliveries out to fly-by-night outfits with little panel-trucks, and stuff arrives a week late.
