the morning after

Wow what a party
Everything worked out just fine. we went to west Hialeah to pick up the pig. It is the only USDA approved slaughter house in Miami and it was packed. you go into a pen area where the pig's are sorted by size. you give them an idea as to what size you want then a guy goes into the appropriate pen and herds one out into a scale pen where it is weighed on the hoof. If it is what you want they stamp a number on his backside and off he trots. About a half hour later he comes out a side door packed, wrapped and ready to travel.
The keg was a little harder. We tried to call "Party Keg's" all day and got no answer. Late Fri. evening Bryon started looking around for another supply. After a few calls he located a source close by who would deliver and tap the keg for us and supple cups and ice but only had Yingling in stock. We put in the order and started to relax when Koi came over. " Yingling no way, Not again" and he started to make some calls. Well it turns out that Google had the wrong number listed for party kegs. They have two locations. When we called the south Miami location and told them that no one was answering the phone at the down town store they gave us the right number. We got Miller lite and everyone was happy, except for the guy with the Yingling.
We put the pig in the box around noon,tapped the keg and sat down and waited. Folks started arriving around 1pm and I think it was about 2 am when I finally went to bed. I think we had about 55 to 60 guests. There was ample food, drink and conversation to go around. Life was good.
Lyn took some pictures and posted them on facebook. I hijacked them and will post them. It might be awhile before we have another dock party, My collaborators are leaving town. Thats all I have for now.
