I took a nap during the race and dreamed a Toyota won!

 

Went to Gas Monkey Garage today, then we ate at his restaurant. Fun afternoon!

 

We have tried eating there twice. Both times were a 2 hour wait.

 

I'm wanting to take a vacation to Texas this year if possible. Gas monkey garage or Gas monkey bar and grill would be my first stop. My neighbor has been to the bar and grill a few times and says Richard's the nicest guy you'll ever meet.

 

 

The girls ended up getting second in this weekends tourney...lost the championship game by one point...it was a hard fought game

 

Can't get any closer to that score...sounds like a heartbreaker but then 2nd place is quite an accomplishment.

 

 

The last time I flew through DFW I noticed there was a Gas Monkey-themed bar-and-grill in one of the terminals -- I never realized until then that they were even trying to get into the restaurant business. I guess you've got to make your money while the window of fame is open!

Since we're on the subject of these types of shows, I wonder what is going to shake-out with the American Chopper folks? They were definitely living the high life when their show was at it's peak, but the last I heard they were struggling. It's hard to maintain that level of fame and interest in the "here today, gone tomorrow" world of entertainment. Hopefully they banked their "coin" and didn't get caught-up in the idea that the bright lights were going to last forever!

I always say that I could never become a mega-millionaire because as soon as I got a few million in the bank I'd go buy me a quiet place out in the country, put up a big garage, and tell everyone to go "%^$##&" themselves.....

 

Lots of reality shows over here in Louisiana too...Swamp People and Duck Dynasty to name a couple. It seems each show's popularity can cause problems within some of the families or individuals. I'd like to know how much of theses shows are real or are these people acting!!

 

I just got done with a service call out in Wall Older guy in his 70s needed his WiFi checked out, computers,laptops and printers checked. Drove 10 miles on his Ranch road came around a corner and the biggest damn mansion I have seen around here.

Anyway the house had 3 living rooms, atleast 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms that I saw. Came around the corner and there was a Red/White 1967 Mustang GT 350 sitting in one of the living room's ! It looked like it rolled off the show room floor. After just standing there in aww for a few minutes he took me to his office for the last computer. Came around another corner to the 2nd living room and there was a Brand Spanking new GT350R sitting there.

Finally after I got everything done he escorted me out another door and the 3rd living room was huge but no car in it. I told him I expected something sitting in here and he laughed and said it's in the works. For some reason I have a feeling in another few months a the new GT will be sitting there.

I asked if I could snap a pic of the 1967 and he asked that I didn't, which I can completely understand.

He seemed happy with my work and said he would definitely be in touch when he needs more work done. Hoping he's a regualr customer and get to know him and see what else he has tucked away. He had probably a 5000 sq foot shop with alot of overhead doors out back. No telling what's in there

 

Could have been someone affiliated with Carroll Shelby years ago?

 

 

 

Rain and temp is dropping. My kind of day!
