Worked at the museum and hung out at Rodney's in the evenings, he cooked every night and Saturday we boiled crawfish he got through someone down by Kevin's, and Kevin's brother Brandon brought them up from the Lafayette area the night before. Rodney being Rodney he wanted 400 pounds, 10 sacks, we had 3 pots going, all got eaten except 2 sacks.......... I love big crawfish drinking coffee is not recovery.... only more alchol..... have a good sleep... then coffee to feel alive again... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it was around 50 people, I don't know if they all ate but many made up for them including me, forgot about some shrimp, about 25 pounds of giant shrimp for people who don't eat crawfish, like him. I'll put some other pics later..........I drank enough coffee so far today I went outside and started trimming some plants. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it for cleaning, where I need a food safe solvent. Drink it? Have you seen what it does to ice cubes? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted April 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2018 And he loves the company, it was 3 am and he was right there with us picking out songs to play at about 100 Db, he loves a party. A pic of where we boiled the crawfish and shrimp, then his kitchen with smoker on the other side of that wall to the left through that door. To the back right right of that red container is a pallet with the crawfish sacks under burlap, behind that silver pot with the corn. I should have got a pic of all the sacks. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted April 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2018 Rodney is all country, this is him giving his dogs a treat late sat night, it's baloney or hot dogs or just about anything for treat time. All 5 of the dogs just sit still waiting for there turn, they know better than to try and steal any, especially from the small dogs. In this pic most people were out in front under the overhang, there was storms passing through and they were watching the lightning. That is his recliner, it has a little wear but his favorite spot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 He seems to have their attention. Elden @dtel, if you don’t mind, please refresh my recollection regarding Rodney’s business. I recall something about construction for the poultry industry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted April 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2018 Yes he built chicken houses for years, he is kind of retired now but still has 6 chicken houses on the other end of the property from where the clubhouse is, it's over 600 acres with about 5 new ponds but the original big one is 90 acres. It has a road going a few hundred feet into it with what he calls a lake house. He does not live in it he build a space in the back of the clubhouse for him to stay since he is always there. Over by the chicken houses is a old house that was where his mother stayed with him until she passed a few years ago, he did live there for a while. The Lake house was the the party house until he built the club house, he built it for people to party, and he loves when it happens. This weekend about 4 am I asked him, I bet your going to be glad when we all leave in the am ? He said no, I love it, Y'all need to stay longer. The lake house...........we have gone there to sleep many nights trying to get to sleep fast as the sun was coming up. I have been upstairs in the shower and could hear every word of the music being played on the side of the club house from Keven's 2 pair of Kp 600's during Pilgrimage at 3:30 am, it's probably 1/2 mile ? from the clubhouse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted April 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2018 This was some drone video Kevin made in 2016 of the Pilgrimage, more people the next year and it looks to be bigger this year. Since that video he added added a big porch to the front of the club house, redone the kitchen and closed it in and about 5 more ponds, not as big as the first. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Just to add insult to injury... Decided to tear into the coffee maker to see if there is a fuse or some other "no user serviceable part" that needs attention. I am beginning to think there is ... I have seen a lot of different screw head types ... straight, phillips, square, torx, torx w/dimple ... a lot of different stuff Well, half of the screw holding the coffee maker together are phillips ... the others Something different. a "dash-dot-dash" straight drive. Since they went to lengths to keep us away ... I bet there is a fuse under there.... I will have to modify a screwdriver to find out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
