And people, I would make that trip again. \u00a0I don&#8217;t care what species it is, I just like looking at good stock. \u00a0You all can figger out where I went. \u00a0They were good, real good and I couldn&#8217;t afford anything that would classify in TX. \u00a0So, I went down the road to the Hard 8 BBQ. \u00a0While in line, staring at that open pit bbq, I watched the dude in front of me point to a big damn pork chop. \u00a0Then shake his head yes. \u00a0 The whole social distancing deal meant that I was just far enough away to not hear a thing. \u00a0(That and my age and habit of listening to LOUD music\u2026IDK?) \u00a0 The server then dunked that big damn pork chop in a bat of some buttery substance. \u00a0What was that? \u00a0That&#8217;s new to me. \u00a0WTH? \u00a0Six feet, \u00a0my ass!!<\/p>\n<p>Now, it&#8217;s my turn. \u00a0 I&#8217;ve seen lots of meats dunked in various sauces. \u00a0But, this one looked different. \u00a0I obviously asked in a bit of an offensive stance. \u00a0\u00a0&#8220;Dude, what&#8217;s in the bucket?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He answers with his hands up. \u00a0&#8220;Hey, man. \u00a0It&#8217;s a lemon, garlic, butter sauce.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And now, like a druggy having a relapse\u2026\u2026&#8221;Hit me up with that!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUFSM?! \u00a0A big piece of slow-smoked pork dipped in a lemon, garlic, butter sauce??????? \u00a0 \u00a0 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>And I was flying on a solo mission, which meant nothing but water all while reading a sign that says, &#8221; The Hard 8 BBQ sells more Shiner Bock than any place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OOOOOHHHHH DAAAAAMMMMNNNN !!!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>Where has that been before? \u00a0 \u00a0I didn&#8217;t help their Shiner Bock sales, but I also got a piece of jalape\u00f1o sausage for safety reasons. \u00a0But that smoked pork dipped in perfection was unreal. \u00a0 Then, I sat down to eat all of this goodness while bidding on hair sheep. \u00a0I only bid a couple of times. \u00a0If Duke was still showing, I would still be bidding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other than the 6 or 8 best hair wether prospects that I have ever seen, the other cool thing was that in those 750+ miles, I never saw a TX or OK hi-po. \u00a0Not a one. \u00a0As a result, my avg. driving speed was FUN!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And the BEST thing that I saw this weekend. \u00a0I sent out a group text proclaiming how good my mother did raising me. \u00a0And she also raised a couple of cool sisters. \u00a0(For those of you that don&#8217;t know, I only have two brothers!)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of these squirrels responded with a video. \u00a0No comments. \u00a0Just a video of a dude wearing a kilt and a black cape and a Darth Vader helmet WHILE playing the bagpipes AND riding a unicycle!!! \u00a0Might be the kuhlest thing ever. \u00a0And I&#8217;m left wondering\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>How did they get that video of me?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mother&#8217;s Day! \u00a0 My brothers and I were blessed with a saintly, wonderful mother that taught us to do right. \u00a0 \u00a0My kids have one of the best mothers ever! \u00a0My wife has a wonderful mother. \u00a0My mom and my dad had wonderful mothers. \u00a0Our nieces &amp; nephews are blessed with awesome mothers. \u00a0THANK YOU!!! \u00a0On behalf of myself, my brothers, my kids and all the others\u2026.THANK YOU!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was reminded today, when rolling up electric fence with a gas powered fence roller\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.. always keep the 2 wires separated. \u00a0Damn!! \u00a0I was glad nobody was around to see that tangled up POS!!! \u00a0 And I had nobody to blame but myself. \u00a0Yeah, you, Dad. \u00a0 I hope you [&hellip;]<\/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\/3550"}],"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=3550"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3556,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3550\/revisions\/3556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kellnlivestock.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
