We haven’t gone fishing yet, but we did load up and go see us some major league baseball. \u00a0Tammy, Duke and I loaded up and drove like hades to get to St. Louis for Sunday nights game. \u00a0I had a bit of an issue getting tickets. \u00a0Sure, I knew that I could deal with some scalpers and get some tickets, but I knew that we weren’t going to have time for that crap. \u00a0Online tickets were dang near sold out. \u00a0Cards vs. Cubs, Sunday evening, Dad’s day, ESPN game of the night, etc.<\/p>\n
So, I went with the Champion’s Club tickets. \u00a0Not cheap. \u00a0But dang glad that I went that route. \u00a0Sit outside in the stadium seats or walk a few steps, open the sliding door and the AC felt oh so good. \u00a0All inclusive. \u00a0I actually ate salad (every now and then I get a hankering for some greens and it was good). \u00a0One could have chicken cordon bleu, carved pork loin, paninis, nachos, brats, dogs, etc. \u00a0Duke says that the sweet tea was really good. \u00a0I was well behaved. \u00a0We had a blast. \u00a0We will do that again. (well, maybe not the behaved part).<\/p>\n
Duke used to be a yankees fan, then we took him to Fenway. \u00a0Cured that problem. \u00a0Then he liked the Nationals because he went to a game in D.C. \u00a0He has been giving Tammy crap about the Cardinals. \u00a0Not now. \u00a0He had fun. \u00a0We just chilled, soaked in the game, ate good food and enjoyed the time together. \u00a0 It is safe to say that we needed this.<\/p>\n
We were seated close to some young kids, one a cards fan, the other a cubbie. \u00a0These 4 or 6 year olds enjoyed getting everybody to chant for their team and clap. \u00a0“Let’s go Cardinals”. \u00a0This was fun to watch as all ages joined in with them.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And since we were in St. Louis, the Dragon Lady wanted to go look at some cats. \u00a0So we drove up to the most famous cat business of which I know. \u00a0And guess what? \u00a0They also have some goats. \u00a0Very good goats. \u00a0Enjoyed the stop. \u00a0Excellent family trip.<\/span><\/p>\n However, we did make some observations while on this excursion. \u00a0The multiple interstate transitions, especially when coming from the east, that occur in the middle of St. Louis are enough to make somebody ready to fight. \u00a0My pickup GPS, my phone GPS and Tammy’s phone GPS all were barking different orders.<\/p>\n There is some crappy interstate highways in Oklahoma and Missouri. \u00a0But the absolute worse stretch that I have driven on are in NE Illinois. \u00a0There was some rough, not fun pavement. \u00a0Ironically, this stretch of interstate is known as the barack obama presidential highway. \u00a0I don’t know if this rough patch lasted 8 miles or 8 years, but either way, it was bad.<\/p>\n We only stayed about a 1\/2 mile from Busch Stadium but the Dragon Lady has a bum foot. \u00a0So we got us an Uber. \u00a0Really nice lady drove us to the park. \u00a0She is a marathon runner that runs for charity. \u00a0Her goal is to run in all 50 states. \u00a0So, I asked the obvious question, “How many states have you ran in?” \u00a048 was her reply. So, I went with the once again obvious, \u00a0Hawaii and Alaska. \u00a0NO! \u00a0WTH? \u00a0Guess which ones. \u00a0Come on. \u00a0Guess. \u00a0Arkansas and Louisiana. \u00a0What? \u00a0The distance from St. Louis to Arkansas or cajun country? \u00a0OK. \u00a0I guess that goal should be getting close to fulfilled.<\/p>\n Getting reports from several of the bred doe buyers. \u00a0I knew it would happen\u2026they are having buck kids. \u00a0I have desired that goats are like some species of reptiles—-temperature and environment determines their sex and mentality. \u00a0If I would have kept them, it would have been all doe kids. \u00a0Hopefully, the new owners raise a buck prospect.<\/p>\n Now that I am back to paradise, I real just how dry it is here. \u00a0Those that live east of I 35 just don’t understand what dry actually looks or feels like. \u00a0Lots of green from I 35 to NE I 55. \u00a0Some of the corn and beans looked a little behind the farther north that we went. \u00a0But that country still looked good. \u00a0Duke thought that we need to bale the ditches and waterways. \u00a0Or at least, cash rent them, run some electric fence and graze these areas. \u00a0For once, he ain’t wrong.<\/p>\n Have a good one and a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We haven’t gone fishing yet, but we did load up and go see us some major league baseball. \u00a0Tammy, Duke and I loaded up and drove like hades to get to St. Louis for Sunday nights game. \u00a0I had a bit of an issue getting tickets. \u00a0Sure, I knew that […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2319"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2319"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2319\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2321,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2319\/revisions\/2321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
