My trip, the lil 6.2 that could!

Leroy I really need that giant huge breakfast at the restaurant you took me to!!!! Awesome meal, mind if I come back for another try at eating it all? LOL Man that was the best breakfast I ever ate in a restaurant!!!!
 
Shoot no! I don't, come on.
Try to make it at a cooler time of year Aug down here is brutal.
 
Not TMI for me, Bill. Leroy, you're one sick puppy at times, you need syrup and a side of eggs with those toe sausages!

Get well quick, Bill! We need more adventures of "On the Road With Bill"!
 
STOP IT! now Im hungry again.

Seriously though the resturant we went to is Kelly's country cooking. They have a breakfast called the Country Boy Breakfast. It comes with 3 eggs, 4 strips of thick bacon (susage or ham), pile of hash browns, toast and 2 huge pancakes. One of the pancakes is a meal by itself!

Damn it now I really am hungry!

Edit: Didint know they had a web site http://www.kelleys.co/league-city--texas-daily-lunch-dinner-specials.php or http://www.kelleys.co/Houston-restaurants.php
 
Leroy, I wish I could remember the name of the local restaurant in Houston that I ate at when I flew into Hobby to pick up my '94 ten years ago. All I recall was that the guy's house was west of downtown Houston about ten minutes just off of I-10 to the south next to a church. About four blocks away was this place with GREAT BBQ, it was a red barn/shed looking place, was "famous" for it's BBQ in Houston, had clippings on the wall of all the celebrities, Oil Barons, movie stars and politicians that had eaten there and they were amazed that I put away two whole slabs of ribs for lunch at 2:30 in the afternoon! (Of course I had been up since 5:30 that morning to fly out of Omaha via Chicago on a direct flight that got in about 11:30am, nothing to eat on the direct flight or at Hobby, then caught a break with the airport shuttle between Hobby and Bush when I was only one of two people on it, and the driver had no problem detouring from his last downtown hotel stop out to where I needed to go {which I think was out just west of the Sam Houston Pkwy} for an extra $20 tip his way, instead of having to wait for a cab in downtown Houston) so I hadn't eaten all day! Those two slabs and fixin's lasted me fine all the way till midnight when I stopped in Wichita for the night. Wish I could remember the name of the BBQ place or where it was at, just that it was right off of I-10 on the south side, and about 10-15 minutes driving time to I-45N to Dallas from there via I-610.

They have a few around Houston, all of them are very good. Check the web site if you come for the nearest one. Definately worth stopping in.
Also, we have an awesome Mexican resturant we go most wensdays to get Fajitas for two (can really feed four). They have a special for $12. Just cant beat the value and the quality is the best around.
If anyone comes to the area on Wensday let me know and we'll go there :32:

I don't know, it could be, I wish I could remember the name of the joint. Like I said, from the outside it didn't look super impressive, no big neon signs or anything, I just remember like a basic sign on the front of the barn-like building. Inside it looked like a large, home style restaurant that could seat maybe 100 people, booths around the sides, tables in the middle, with killer good BBQ I could smell as I drove up. Just a block or two south of I-10 on the exit. Wish I had been paying more attention, I usually do to those kind of things when I find a really good place to eat. But then again, I wasn't planning on being back in Houston and I got to the neighborhood sitting in an airport shuttle. When I'm not driving, the memory map-maker isn't as "on" as when I am driving. My main concerns were 1) Finding some good (and lots) of food to eat before leaving and 2) the drive back home and how far I'd get that day (stopped in Wichita at midnight, 4 hours short of Lincoln) and what kind of traffic I'd run into in the DFW area.

Too bad I just can't take a Google Virtual Drive down I-10 get off at each exit and "drive" around a bit til I find it. I know if I see it again I'd recognize the neighborhood and restaurant.
 
Marty you gotta eat at the breakfast joint!!!! Hey Husker Leroy took me to a place that had the best beef bbq ever also!!!!! Well just gonna have to either heal or cut the thing off n start my journey across America eating out again! Hey Pepp I need a Poboy n red bean pn rice with porkchop fix too!!!! But I do make my own red beans now Paul but dont think I got it right, I use a crock pot. How bout the recipe Paul?
 
There you go, Bill, eat your way across the USA and write a travel guide to the best local cuisine! With all those beans you could use "natural" gas fumigation to supplement your waste veggie oil and really stretch your fuel mileage (or at least use it as "jet boost" assist on those long uphills)!:fart:
 
People passing you on those long uphill grades would never know the REAL reason you're leaning forward and grabbing the wheel!:hihi: BTW, we're having a very unseasonable 52* here right now, about 30* above normal today. All the snow's about melted off we got back mid December (all 6"), but we're still about 12" short on rainfall for 2012 and the drought here is still the worst in the US.
 
Hey yall just keep payin greenbacks for diesel, me n The Lil 6.2 both love deep fried foods!!!!! LOL Surgeon checked foot today n said looks good with no infection so far. Asked could aI go outside. He said no stay in the house and no walking without crutches. Take stitches out next Thursday, he said to be ready to stay a while. Huge number of stitches n some are buried in the swollen dead flesh so will have to be dug out. Yuck sounds awful don it? Ride cowboy ride, I can handle it. Cant be as bad as the Corpus Christy expolding toe! LOL
 
The Corpus Christi Exploding Toe. Sounds like a cheap B grade horror movie at the drive in theater!
 
Thanks Ben its working pardner! Husker that what it looked like in Corpus when I took my boot off. Looked like a m-80 firecracker exploded in the end of my toe. LOL

Sure you aren't related to Daffy Duck and his exploding bill, Bill:pat:?
 
That's good news Bill!! Just like Thankful said, praise God for a successful surgery.

Now, when it comes to pulling the stitches, I'd highly recommend some kind of topical deadener. When they pulled the staples out of my back I was really wishing for something. I'm really not a wuss, but THAT HURT!! I don't know if the staples were sunk in or not, but I was kind of wishing my head swiveled like an owl so I'd know when to tense up for the next pull.

Continue keeping us posted, we care.
