Tough Game

My Razorbacks played a good game yesterday against the #1 Alabama Crimson Tide. We certainly could have played better, but Alabama probably could have too. All in all, I'll accept the result but remain disappointed we couldn't pull out the Win. A timely bye week will help us prepare for A&M on 10/9. Went to the game with a good group of friends, had fun tailgating before the game and was very pleased with the amazing amount of Razorback fans, it was packed!!

Heather's dad came in yesterday and will be staying for a couple of weeks. Bikes, Blues and BBQ starts on Wednesday....it's going to be a full week!!

Tommy want wingy....

Working on some wings for the weekend....so far I have the dry rub on them and they will get the smoke tomorrow....stay tuned....











Started smoking around 4:30.....













I took them off around 7:00 and will "package" them up for their last stages. Fry them for about 40 seconds to a minute and then they go for a spin in the sauce....

New Turf at Razorback Stadium

Road the bike over to Fayetteville last weekend and went by Razorback stadium to check out the new "field turf"....looks like grass to me!!

Mini Road Trip

Ok, so for about....jeez....8 weeks I guess... Caleb has been talking about an Ostrich Egg that we saw at the Promised Land Zoo. Well, he has been saving up his money and we made a road trip over to get the "prized" possession.















The "Welcome Party" at the entrance to the PL Zoo....

Happy 4th of July!!

Wishing everyone a happy 4th of July!!! Be safe!

We went to Branson on Friday for the fireworks at the Landing. It was packed!! I have never seen that many people there. Went ending up going to the Candlestick Inn. It is a restaurant on the bluff overlooking Lake Taneycomo and the Branson Landing. We met with Nichole and Brandon for dinner and then watched the fireworks after dinner from outside the restaurant. It was nice to watch them at that location overlooking the Landing and all of the schmos down there packed in like sardines.

Headed to the fireworks stand today and then watching the Harrison show tonight.

Father's Day Bike Ride

Went on a ride this evening down Hwy 7 to Jasper and then over to Ponca and then back Hwy 43 into Harrison. i stopped a couple of places and snapped some pictures. I also saw a couple of baby elk just outside of Ponca, but I wasn't in a position to stop and get any pics. It was a nice ending to a relaxing day.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all of the dad's out there today.....

I spent most of the early afternoon doing yardwork which gave me some time to remember all of the great things about my dad. This is the first Father's Day without him, and I think about and miss him each day. I try to do things in my life that I think would make him proud or laugh. I believe he was an excellent role model for me and I feel blessed to have him as a dad...
