Grilling on the Russian River...



This last Saturday the 18th. The fourth time that The Swami Tommy BBQ Experience smoked and grilled at the Russian River Beer Revival BBQ Cookoff. We cooked 25 racks of ribs and over 20 lbs of chicken wings. We had Winter the pork pulling girl, sister JoEllen, Sherry and her birthday boy Dan working the crowds in front of the tent.
Hard work, big fun, lot's of beer and hot sun.

Say, it seems the single family homes under $600K here in Novato are finally starting to go into contract! There is a lot of great inventory available now, but, a few are seeing some offers after a quiet Summer selling season. Other areas of Marin have been selling, but precious little here in our Valley of Gentle Seasons.

Write or Buzz, hope to see you at a grill soon...Steve

Back from Bend..


Oregon last night. Great city and area. Lots of shopping, eating and sight seeing to be done.
We were watching the Bend Elks baseball team beat on the Portland Brewers when the very entertaining PA announcer came on the system telling us that Barry Bonds had just passed Mr. Aaron. Could not have been at a better place to watch baseball. Amazing sunset over the Cascade mountain range. It was $2 Buck Tuesday, which is also hard to beat. Hot dog and a soda for $2, admission was only $2 and parking is free.
Will always remember where we were when Bonds hit 756. Within minutes of the announcement, the Elks shortstop hit a grand slam. We left in the 6th inning with the Elks up 14 to 0.
Photos coming soon of the game and our trip to Chimps Inc.
Please write if you want to, take care!!
