I had to go look it up, I couldn't' remember, but this is it. I was little surprised there are over 1000 Mexican restaurants in the San Antonio area, I knew there would be alot but wow !

I have done that before, our dirt is hard clay here, it's like cement when dry, watering really helps but it's very slow to soak in. The same reasons ponds do so well here, you can fill a hole with water here for days and dig down another few inches and it's dry as a bone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flooded the strip of 2" deep dirt last night, just now stuck a shovel in it, NO further water will be needed. Will dig out in the morning 4+" deep for a layer of rock to prepare for concrete pour, maybe weekend. Here we call this crap dirt "HardPan" and clay is 75% of the content. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traffic on I-10 was crazy Sunday, how far from you is that Ford arena and outdoor music pavilion, looks like a cool place ? We stopped at that crazy place Buc-ee's to get diesel, that place is crazy, Buc-ees has some really good jerky. Ford park is 10 minuts from the house. I-10 takes a sharp bend in Beaumont. There's an exit in the bend called Gladys. If you exit there and go straight on Gladys for maybe 2 miles you're a mile from my house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealousy will get you nowhere. You and Chuck should start your own ED club.

I don't know Mexican food or the names, but the fist pic is beef and bacon, second is sausage, chicken and beef, these two was for 4 people with rice and beans. The place is not fancy but the food is very good, and that pepper was hot. Next time try to get up to Cooper's BBQ in Llano. Best brisket in Tejas! Stand in line at the door, pick your meats off the grill, go inside for sides and eat on the picnic tables with whoever. Perfect! There's one in New Braunfels, but it's not quite as good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even this Alaska boy has been to Cooper's! It's the real deal! My Texan buddy said you know it's real when you spend $36 on it and it's served on wax paper. I'm almost ruined on BBQ now bc it just doesn't measure up to that place! Two thumbs up, go check it out if you're within 1,000 miles or so! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
