Big Red Well Broken In

This will be a brief update as I’m only home for less than 24 hours and will be gone for another 12 days or so.

Big Red did everything asked of her and then some.

On Friday, Tank and I worked the auction and retrieved all of our equipment that was left there during the Fair.  Sales were light but that was expected.  Unfortunately, Tank was rained out on Saturday at Amelia but the rain ended in time for Big Red’s first appearence at JMU.

It wasn’t our biggest game ever at JMU, but close to it.  And certainly not quite up to the levels of Liberty last year, but it was a good effort for Peggy and I.  We did very well with Lemonade, the first time we’ve added that to our menu there, and OK on Funnel Cakes.  We sold out of Corn Dogs.

After the game, we broke down and set up Sunday at Staunton Walmart.  Peggy worked and was invaluable in organizing for the first time we’d used a full menu on Big Red.  Monday and Tuesday, I worked it alone and all went well.

This week, I’m off to Richmond for the auction and Tank and Jean will be at Amelia on Saturday.  I’m back at JMU for another game, followed by three more days at Walmart in Harrisonburg.  On Wednesday of next week, I’ve got to move extra equipment to Amelia for the VDKA race which will be huge as it was earlier in the year.  I’ll be there for breakfast, turn everything over to Tank, Petey, and crew, and haul my fat butt to JMU for another game.  Somewhere in that mess, I hope to get to Fredericksburg so we can start the big auction on Thursdays once again.

A report will follow. . .sometime!
