saturday . . .

. . . something about prepping 

for the annual turkey pit . . .

. . . then came this one . . .

. . . he said it took three hours 

to load the pit with wood . . .

. . . at this point, 

i invited myself 

to share in this 

smoky, meaty goodness . . .

. . . and janet sent detailed instructions

 on how to prep a turkey . . .

. . . and when i say turkey, 

of course i mean pork roast . . .

. . . season, roasting bag, 

seal loosely, ten layers 

of heavy duty aluminum foil . . .

. . . name written in sharpie . . .

. . . done . . .

. . . we went to witness 

the fire starters . . .

. . . there was gasoline . . .

. . . lots of gasoline . . .

. . . then there was a flame thrower . . .

. . . i guess boys are never too old 

to play with matches . . .

. . . then there was a fire . . .

. . . a really big fire . . .

. . . and cameron was concerned . . .

. . . very concerned . . .

. . . around 10 or 11 o'clock tonight, 

the coals will be ready . . .

. . . all the turkeys and other meats 

will be lowered into the pit . . .

. . . covered with metal grates,

 plywood, and dirt . . .

. . . tomorrow before noon, 

they'll reverse the burial process 

and we'll go back 

and pick up our sunday dinner . . .
