Great Goat, Heinrich's 30!

Heinrich turned 30 last week.

It was a pretty big deal. :)

The guy has been dreaming of a birthday BBQ for literally months. But I think it turned into a bit more of a nightmare than he was ready for.

It took three days to track down a goat, with lots of false starts and failed hopes. But, he did finally drag one home and--umm--butchered it on his kitchen table. You can imagine Doris as she told me this over the radio...

So, everything was set for one amazing night. But then Heinrich got a bad fever. Can you even believe it? He's never sick. And then it rained. Poured even. You know... in dry season. Haha!

But, Heinrich is a trooper, and the man really wanted the BBQ to happen, so it did. We had a great time. HK stuck it out as long as he could, left for a nap, then came back for more. Like I said, quite the trooper.

Happy Birthday, HK!

This picture is hilarious.

Tobias, manning the grill. Turns out Tobi is a perfect gentleman, by the way. He's a huge help 'round here.

What's more adorable than a baby gnawing on a goat rib? Only baby Joy gnawing on a goat rib.

Speaking of babies... Jen had to cut my goat for me, since my shoudler is still a piece of junk. Just one humbling day after another 'round here. But, hey, we got MEAT!
