Hey everyone, I hope all is well! Roll Tide!
As many of you know, Julie and I have been in Montana all summer. We got back into Alabama late last night (Tue). Don’t fear, we will be at the tailgate!
We’ve been missing a few Alabama foods – like Conecuh sausage. So, we will be cooking a little of that for the early folks. For the main event, we will be doing a shrimp boil.
My goal is to have dinner off around 4:30PM.
We are smoked from the drive home and will likely be gone before the game is over.
I’ve been playing around with Chat GPT…. With that here’s what the model had to say when I asked it to write me a post. Pretty cool, eh? This year I’ll be using ChatGPT more to create the site content.
