Austin and San Antonio

Not too much to talk about lately, I've had a lot of work, and A LOT of driving the last while. I was in Austin for three days, but only really had time to get out one evening. I went to a BBQ place down town called Green Mesquite BBQ. The food was excellent.


I had Brisket, pulled pork, sausage, fried okra, and cole slaw.  Everything was really good, and I liked that they served it without BBQ sauce so you can put as much or as little on as you like I've always thought that's the way BBQ should be served.



When I saw this Coffee mug, I had to have one, I love to collect coffee mugs, and I thought it was pretty funny. The other side says "Smokin' the good stuff since 1988"


After Austin I headed down to San Antonio for a job. I got my work done fairly early, so I went downtown for a little bit before I headed out of town.


I took a little stroll down the river walk. A lot of different shops and restaurants, pretty neat place to get out of the blazing Texas sun.

I also went to the Alamo.


The Alamo was pretty interesting, it was cool to learn about this piece of Texas, and American History.

I left San Antonio and headed over to Houston for a couple days. I've always believed Houston sucked, and this trip did nothing to prove anything different.  I was working pretty much non-stop. The last job I was on, I took a bit of a fall. I was walking across a steel beam and my foot slipped. Luckily, I caught myself on the same beam, because I was working about 70 feet up. The entire right side of my body is basically one big bruise, but a few days later, I've stopped peeing blood, so we'll call this one a win.

I left Houston thankful just to get the hell out of Texas. I was in Louisianan for a day, but didn't really have time to do or see anything. Now I'm in Florida, and if everything goes as planned, hopefully I'll have a bit of free time in the next few days to go see some sights. If so, I'll post.
