Going Off the Grid is Great - If You Can Ever Get There

We left our house at 11:30 this morning. We aren't even to Temple. Yeah. You read that right. We've been driving for over 3 hours and we aren't even to Temple. The traffic is horrific. And TXDOT, in their infinite wisdom, has 35 shut down to one lane on a HOLIDAY WEEKEND. Total bullshit.

Bubba is manning the house and farm animals. I can only hope the boys do not suffer from PTSD after this latest visit from Bubba. When he stayed at the house while we went to NOLA, he must have not treated them like the spoiled, precious little babies that they are. To show their displeasure with their caretaker, they pissed on Gary's pillows when we returned home. They were not happy with us - especially their Diddy.

We are now on a random Farm Market road and off of the Hell known as I35 South. Jesus. What a beatdown.

We normally got see Charlie at Gruene Hall on Saturday. This year, we are going to the Sunday show. I'm pretty sure tomorrow is also his actual birthday. Perhaps I should give him a spicy birthday kiss ;). I once dry humped his tour bus. With him in it. Don't judge.

Tonight we are grilling pork chops with red beans and rice, green beans, corn and yeast rolls. Tomorrow night is turkey and venison burgers prior to the evwning's festivities. I brought all of the eggs from home...so that sort of takes care of breakfast!  I've got like 2 dozen or so. And they're gorgeous eggs!  Our brown ones are jumbo in size and is say the white ones are closer to medium sized.

Jeez - we've been moving forward for 15 minutes straight!  I don't think we've done that since we left our house and drove through Ennis. Gotta love holiday traffic.

I'm going to nap. Keep it real, folks ;)
