In the past couple of days my Trailer Park has been changed from a quiet little place into a Bikers Convention.
Last week there were a total of four bikes in the park, one of them mine. This morning when I wandered around the park I saw 28 bikes, most with northern tags. During the day I have seen even more rolling in.
Hey it's coming up on Bike Week and we are only a couple of hours south of Daytona. Most of these riders are combining a visit with friends or family with Bike Week.
Earlier this afternoon I was out working on my bike when a couple of guys came strolling down the road. They saw me and came over to chat. They loved my bike and we talked about riding and bikes for quite some time. I introduced them to my wife. (The one is one of the other three bikers who live in the park.) I then invited them for ribs tomorrow, they accepted. (They will be bringing their wives as well as beer.)
As soon as they left I ran to the nearest store and grabbed six (6) racks of short ribs. I brought these home and started preparing them. (My ribs take a bit of work.) I minced several heads of Garlic and a couple of onions. I crushed ten Chipotle Peppers. I filled the Stock Pot with water and added a bit of the mix before bringing it to a boil.
I Parboiled the ribs. (Two split racks per pot.) As I pulled the ribs out of the water I rubbed them with the remaining mix and set them in the fridge to sit overnight.
Tomorrow morning I will be firing up the smoker and putting the ribs in it to slow smoke and cook for the day.
Somehow I get the feeling it will be more than my wife and the two couples showing up at this cook out.
