Free Breakfast.

DAMN GOOD!


A coworker walked in and surprised me with a breakfast taco from Torchy's Tacos, very kind and pretty awesome.

Music Monday: Skeeter EP


Skeeter EP, dedicated to my brother. Looking back, I can’t really think of too many songs that were part of our childhood existence. We were more of movie character type guys, you know we were Young Guns or we were Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday, of course you were Wayatt and I was Doc, there really wasn’t any other way. But this is a Monday Music post, so, let’s get on with it.

Good Morning Beautiful: This song was pretty much the anthem to our early morning days as we got ready for the grind at Bill Miller Bar-B-Q. You were much “buffer” then. Hahaha.

Life By The Drop: This song meant a lot to me while you were doing your part serving this great nation. Every time I heard this song I immediately thought of you.

My Hero: From the moment the drum blasts, this song jams, it’s a head bobber and it fires me up. From the boy you used to be to the man you are and are going to be, you are my hero. All together now "Aaawweee."

Let it be Me: For all the things I’ve said and haven’t, this song says it all. I’ve waited too long to tell you that if you ever need to hang out, talk or just B.S., I’m your man. You’re my brother, I love you.

Steve Holy - Good Morning Beautiful

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Life by the Drop

Foo Fighters - My Hero

Ray LaMontagne - Let it be Me

Is it Friday Yet?!

I'm ready for Friday, I'm ready to begin the weekend... Not that I have any big plans or anything like that going on. I am one of the unlucky few, depending on your stance, who won't be attending this years Austin City Limits Festival but that's fine with me as I plan on taking it easy this weekend with some football (Pittsburgh @ Notre Dame and Tennessee @ Dallas), and saving my energy and money for next weekends Fright Fest trip.

With that said, I am still looking forward to the weekend, not waking up (too) early and as far as I'm concerned a well deserved adult beverage, maybe some vino or maybe a cold brew. Recently however, I have been -I don't want to say craving- but for lack of a better word, craving a Guinness. I haven't had one since, well I was going to say since last football season when I enjoyed the 250th Anniversary Stout, but that's not true cause I had one a couple of months or so back at a going a away party. Regardless of the specifics, I think it's time I reacquaint myself with the deep-dark velvety goodness, that is Guinness Draught.

Bring on the weekend.

GO IRISH!
How Bout Them Cowboys?!


 
Looking forward to it.

A Tradition Begins

Having a child affords you the opportunity to create and or include new family traditions in your life. With the addition of Lil Money to our family headquarters The Wife and I have been eagerly waiting every opportunity to do something new with the changing of each season. The Autumn season is already proving to be a fun time for La Familia and it's just begun.

Sweet Berry Farms Plus

All smiles for the road trip.

Pumpkin Patch.

Attack of the Giant Pumpkins.



Chillin in a sea of orange.

Unusual row of Pumpkins.

We should have gotten one of these.



Father and Son.

Pumpkins on a boat.


After the photo session with Lil Money we headed over to the other side of the Sweet Berry Farms so the lades could snip some beautiful flowers.

Beauty and function.

Greeted by a scare crow.




After a morning full of sun, it was time for some grub and relaxing... When we left SBF we didn't have a destination in mind but we were all getting very hungry and decided to stop in at Jack Allen's Kitchen in Oak Hill.

The Wife had the Green Chile Cheese Burger - It's Austin Burger Bracket worthy.

I had the Green Chile Pork Tacos - They were about as good as this picture.

Lil Money had a Lemon. :)
