Road Trip Page 6

It's Wednesday nite, Jan. 20, one whole year without George W.  I miss our national idiot, but  I am thankful.  

We are spending our last nite at Tristan's in Austin.  Today we had lunch at Green Mesquite Barbecue.  Excellent.  We had dinner at the Hyde Park Bar & Grill, where Tris waits tables.  That was excellent, too.  During the past few days i have had Lone Star Beer, Lone Star Brewing, Fort Worth.  Cheap and lite.  I had three more brews from the Real Ale Co.: Brewhouse Brown Ale (very good), Full Moon Pale Rye Ale (good), and Rio Blanco Pale Ale (good). At Tris's resturant i had Live Oak Pilsner on tap, brewed in the Austin area (good enuf to have two). At some point in there i also had a Sierra Nevada from Chico, CA.  No, i did not make a quick trip to CA, it was all we had.  It was good, though.  

Played disc golf twice.  I hope nobody noticed my butt getting kicked.  I got to make more throws than anybody else and got to see the most remote areas of the course, and even got a bit of a wash in the creek, so it wasn't a complete loss.

No surprise, after many days of doing nothing constructive, i was jonesin' to do some home improvement here.  My projects so far: tighten the toilet seat, advise Tris on putting back up the SECOND coat rack i have pulled off the wall this trip, repair two Venetian blinds.  I have talked a really good game about putting in an outside GFCI outlet for the electric fence, but all i have done is replace the inside outlet with the GFCI and determine that the electric pence doesn't trip it.  Tomorrow morning i have to choose, do i go back to the disc golf course to find the disc i threw into the woods just as it got dark, or do i commit to the outside outlet project.  I don't have a lot of time, we want to leave before noon.
