Mule

I have a co-worker who has spent the last couple of weeks vacationing in the Outer Banks(NC). While it’s good to escape the zoo our workplace has become, I’m looking forward to seeing him again on Monday.

He’s bringing me some sauce from the Pigman. We ordered a few bottles by phone recently, but with the online store still not operational, we want to stockpile an ample amount to tide us over.

Drive back safely, buddy; you’re hauling gold in those bottles.

The Pigman Has Landed

We were down to our last bottle of Pigman’s BBQ sauce. I had lamented here about the Pigman’s Internet Store difficulties.

Today, my daily checking of the Pigman Store was rewarded. It’s back up, and six bottles of saucy goodness are heading north. I have a coworker who is heading to the Outer Banks in a week or so; he’s offered to mule me back a few bottles. I may have him pick up 3 or 4 when he’s there.

You get down to your last bottle, and it makes you think.

Open the Store, Please!


SWMBO and I made our first, last, and thus far only trip to North Carolina’s Outer Banks in 1995. While there, we, like the countless throngs before us, dined at the legendary Pigman’s Bar-B-quE, and fetched home several bottles of sauce. Since that time, we’ve never been without the stuff.

SWMBO had a friend who made an annual trek to the Outer Banks; I have a friend who did likewise. Both were kind enough to mule us back several bottles when they visited. As time marched on, SWMBO’s friend passed away, and my buddy became the father of a new son; the boy didn’t take well to car trips, so his visits ceased. Thanks to the internet, I’ve kept our larder supplied in the interim.

We’re down to a freshly-opened bottle, plus one unopened one. Time to resupply. I’ve been trying for a week, and either get the “Store is closed”, or every item shows as being out of stock. I’m hoping that the Pigman is redoing the back end of his site, and all will be well. I’d hate to be without this spicy, vinegary-tangy concoction.

I’ll keep waitin’ and tryin’ again.
