well i must say i enjoyed the game yesterday if for no other reason it was indoors for me... Today is suppose to be very windy, wind speed above 20 later today... Changed my plans some, was going to wait for the local post office to open and mail a few things back, i am made the final decision on what to keep for the next couple months... Microwave will go :-( Front moving in, as usual i am on the edge... See how cold it gets the next couple of days... CHUCK; you will be missed, your pain and suffering has ended... Love you!!!! time for a siesta, i have done 20+ this morning but the winds are picking up, take a break, see how they are in a couple hours, wind advisory in effect until about 7:00 pm local... wylies backwoods barbecue... Laying here, 20 miles from no place soaking up the sun; had already made a decision, relax let the wind calm down... Well i got to checking the gps and i see in the middle of no place is a barbecue place???? Now that sounds good, i was just told how good the barbecue is in this area.... So i get up, put my windbreaker, they still call them that, windbreaker?, get on my bike start to head down the highway, turned around and now i am in the exact location i was before i knew about Wylies, the only difference is i want barbecue rather than beans.... Winds are just too strong.... peanut butter was good, working on my tan, it is 1:50; guessing another hour or so it was nice thinking about bbq, lol the winds let up some so i decided ok, dinner time... Like so many other small businesses it has closed... So i stop at this little corner market for something to eat and jokingly ask about a new station going in, asked the lady if it was hers, "foreigners" parden me i said "foreigners" she replied... "We just hope they don't run us out of business" thought to myself as i looked around, they will, when just depends on how long you want to struggle and how much money you are willing to lose.... Imagine at one time the store made good money and may still do so... Could even tell that new pumps had been installed... They even have a small building outside they are putting bathrooms in... But so much of the other areas have ran down, old sign post stand with only the frame remaining, pipes sticking out of the ground where the old gas pumps use to be... Metal grates over all the windows and doors, grass sprouting up out of the cracks in the pavement... Just a matter of how long they want to fight... 25 miles from Coldspring Texas, ended up with 35 miles for the day which to me was great considering the winds, they are suppose to calm down in the next couple hours sleeping bag on a ground cover, love being able to check the forecast, sleep under the stars when i can... Simple life
