well I got jacked err over rode on the shooting thing.
ended up in the little tourist tra umm town where littlegirl lives.
we had to leave earlyfor some unknown reason and had 3 hrs to kill when we got there, the wife went for an iced coffee while we were talking to the ace hardware guy out watering the flowers, so me and the boy cut through the alley and into the back door of the bar there.
the boy only knew 4-5 people in the place [he knows everybody in a 40 mile radius] so it wasn't too crowded,
I flipped the TV over to the nascar race and took a seat.
best part was it took the wife over an hour to find us, then she stayed for another hour drinking coffee since someone had to drive home and it wasn't gonna be me.
we finally hooked up with the girl, her husband, his brother, and injun Joe [no that's his name really.... if you know him]
and I took them all over to the local diner and bought them dinner. [10% discount for the locals]
they had some great specials going, but I yelled back at the cook on duty [Rusty] and asked what was good? he just said dinner will be out in 20-25 minutes.,, so we skipped the ordering part and got a soda from the fountain.
[this part mystifies the tourists every time]
sure enough prime rib for me and the wife, littlegirl and her hubby and chicken fried steak for the boy's appeared at our table in about 20 minutes
we walked out just in time to see the fire works start on the mountain, so we grabbed a table in the city park and watched the so-so fireworks show. [it's hard o complain about free]
we cut out at the finale and headed for home via the back road to avoid traffic on the highway.
