Kick-ass cooks

ka3, originally uploaded by David Speer.

This is not to say there aren't kick-ass cooks that aren't shown here (for example: Polly, Jim, Bill, Luba, Kathleen, Jim, Marlin, my Jody, Tom, Mr. Megan (couldn't resist, Dave), Sue, Sue, Susan, Cliff, Bruce, Lori, Sarah, Kelly, Diane, Shari, Bev, Olaf, Rob, Larry, Jeff, Laura, Larry, Janice, Lauren ... I know I'm leaving out somebody really important. Sorry if it's you. I apologize. But I could go on and on). This is just a representative sample of those people who make the real Colts cooktruck something special.

2005 Info at colts.org

I know a lot of you visit colts.org every day like I do, but for those who don't, be sure to go there and click Colts 2005 Information Released! for the latest news.

Don't miss Kent's long letter about the 2004 season, either. Great job, Kent.

This week's theme...

...is "hype," suggested by Kent. Going all out, kicking a**, putting it all on the line. Whatever you call it, it's cool when Colts do it.

Weekend bonus!

Have a few pictures that don't seem to fit any categories that are coming up, and the marching band performance got rained out last night and I had a little 'picture time' on my hands, so I thought I'd throw in a bonus photo for the weekend.
See you again Monday.

Food, glorious food

That's this week's theme and it comes from Jody Glow. Eating it. Cooking it. Loving it. Hating it.

Hey, it's the Cooktruck. It's all about food, right?

Thanks to all who submitted suggestions for themes. Watch for yours between now and banquet.

What to do, what to do.....

As I'm sure all of you have noticed... (You have noticed, haven't you? Even one of you?) As I'm sure ALL of you have noticed, there have been "themes" for pictures over the past few weeks (drivers, uniforms, gangs). Any suggestions for next week's theme? I have an idea or two, but I always just do what the photos suggest to me. (Don't your photos talk to you and make suggestions? No? Pity.)

It might be fun to try to build a set of pictures around someone else's idea of a theme from last summer.

thanks for looking,
david

Cook gang

I think this is in Murray, Ky. But who really remembers, and does it really matter? I miss all these guys a lot. And all the rest of the cook gangs I got to work with this year.

That's me in the shadow of Olaf.

Almost missed a day....

Well, the job almost got me. Almost let a whole day go by without posting a Colts picture. That little 196-page book thing is throwing me this week, but we'll struggle through somehow.

Oalf said he found this photo of 'Pip' on the internet and he sent it along to me (and other people). Thanks, Olaf! Keep 'em coming.


Here's a copy of the email Olaf sent me:

Hi guys,
 
Guess whom I found on the internet!!!
A lost colt in England with the 37th kingswood D&B Corps
They call it a percussion night.
 
Talk to you later
 
Olaf


It's great to hear from folks who are still looking at the cooktruck. Thanks, everyone! Keep 'em coming.
