Morning Folks!
You can call a concrete company, they will give you 3-4 names. Call them get bids. All should be close in price. That’s a quick job. Plus the finisher will know the concrete companies salesmen. They will coordinate the concrete delivery.
Beer
Pastalaya
Shrimp and Tasso Alfredo Pasta!

Weather Channel story, you know I got one. My sister, no pictures, went into a restaurant up in N. Ga. where she lives. Sees a young girl she knows, they are talking and the girl introduces her Dad. My sister said the guy was wearing sunglasses at the bar. She asked if he’d had surgery. He takes off the glasses, it’s Jim Cantore. My sister tells him we are from La.
Next thing she said, we are boiling Crawfish up here, you got an invite, he said he’s in.

We are moving to 6 sacks of select Crawfish next boil. The boiler I got will do 2 sacks at a time, so we good.
I bring all the seasoning, sister buys the crawfish.

If you come this way, let me know, I’ll hook you up!

My youngest is a PA, went to LSU honors College, Biological Science, Pre Med. After LSU, applied at OLOL school of medicine. They were the first class of PA’s. Got out in 28 months. Received a Masters Of Medical Science.

Now works from home, doing nothing but virtual appointments, making way more than the salaries posted. Virtual is way too easy a job.

NYM’s looks like a nice restaurant from the road but I have never been there. Speed limit in Livonia (cameras) and Washington.



You need to go in, they have a number of antiques, the rustic restrooms are very different. The deserts are amazing. But we often split one for the table, because we’re full from the meal.

An yes, watch your speed. Back when my great Uncle was Chief Of Police in a nearby town, had a little pull. Had to use his name one night, in my younger days. They were the good ole days!

Mr. Bajon is one of the most fascinating people I ever met, his collections are amazing.


It’s like going back in time. Been friends with the family for years. Have you been in the Bakery lately?
Have you seen the original Ice Box? The old Radios? The big cans of Lard? Too many things bring me back in time.

That sounds great. Pokies store he sold a number of jars of the olive mix. I’ll see if I can find a brand name, for the family to recommend.

As much as anything, the “Olive Mix makes the Muff.” Pokie and I were talking about that one day, about this, yes, the Mix and the Bread. Pocorellos had one of if not the best in BTR.

His Italian Sausage is by far the best I’ve ever had. After Pokies funeral, all were invited to the house for food and drinks. Gino Marino had a large pan of Italian Sausage with onions. I think they both used the same recipe for Italian Sausage.

Met his Mom and Dad at WalkOns before a game. Nice folks. They are from N. Ga. Come to find out, they know most of my family that lives up there.

All the time, 2019, was helping Bert Jones with a Cystic Fibrosis tournament, a friend calls, got tickets to the SEC championship game in ATL. The next day I’m in ATL.

I make the Oklahoma vs LSU game in ATL, fly back to Texas. The next day I’m drinking Margaritas at Poncho’s Bar in Mexico. A friend calls, an offers his condo in NOLA , for the National Championship game, two days later, I’m there.

In 2023, friends offer me a ticket to the College World Series games, I’m in Omaha, was there for 12 days. Partied till 1:30am after the NC win. Got to bed around 2:30am. At 7 am woke up, drove from Omaha to my house in Texas. About 800 miles.

Been doing much of the same my entire life.
