Yes, I live in Georgia where there is great BBQ but several things came together this past Monday (29th) which resulted in a quick flight to AL for some of the tasty meat delicacies.
1) I had the day off work
2) The weather was good
3) Son Bruce is home from GSU for the summer
4) The -9 hadn't been flown all week
5) It was my 50th birthday!
A couple nights before we watched one of those food shows which highlighted "Big Bob" Gibson's in Decatur, AL. Those shows always make me want to fly out for food. So the seed was sewn.
It took about 1.5 hrs from Perry, GA (PXE) to Pryor Field (DCU) in Decatur, AL. The FBO was kind enough to lend us a car and we drove the six miles to the restaurant. We ordered half a chicken and a slab of ribs with sides, enjoyed it thoroughly, and took some more chicken to go for mom.
My landing attempt on the return home was really crappy and we did a go around. That hasn't happened in a long time. All the birthday celebrations must have clouded my judgement!
