I am a little bit (LOT) road weary.  We’ve covered some miles the past 6 weeks.  But without a doubt, the worst miles have been this past week.  I have had to make the trek from Shattuck to Camp Tulakogee three times this past week.  It has been a HUGE PITA! (Pain In The Ass).  

     One of the very best things that the Oklahoma FFA does is the Alumni Camp.  Kids love it, want to come back, it is great.  In my previous tour of duty, I used to stay and “help”.  Without a doubt, it is a great camp.  So great that you have to have a ticket.  Kind of like a good concert.  It is in demand.  I am real serious about this.  Trust me, it’s good and it is in demand.  

     The only problem that I have is that the drive from Shattuck to Camp Tulakogee is miserable.  Big time road construction between Woodward and Enid.  Lots of road construction from Sand Springs to Catoosa (all of Tulsa), plus the fact that Woodward, Enid and Tulsa are PITA’s to begin with.  Throw in the fact that parts of the Cimarron Turnpike is rough enough to vibrate the fillings right out of your teeth.  I am glad that I won’t make that drive for awhile.  I am ready to hit some Texas highways. 

     No doubt about it, Texas does make smooth highways and they will let you drive, to a certain degree.  

     We have gathered a little over an inch of rain the past few days.  Plus a butt load of wind.  Dang neart ruined the new trampoline.  Paradise is green.  So green that Duke has been able to blow fireworks wherever just so as long as it didn’t bother a doe and babies.  Yep, he moved up the hill once he got started.
