Tempted to stop the tour in Austin!

My body is fusing to my truck.  More coffee please.
Time to give my truck some lovin'.  Six quarts of oil, a new air filter and wiper blades at a family owned establishment.  I love small towns!!
The worst weather I've seen the whole trip.  I've been superblessed!
Yay!!!  Made it through the late afternoon traffic of Austin (hate cities!), hung out in a local park, wiped out in a wash (the guitar suffered no injuries!), and went to a new local dining hotspot on South 1st with my friend Jason.
I was very excited to see this sign outside.
We started out with some local beer.
Jason and I dated my freshman year of college (gig 'em Aggies!!!), eons ago.  We hadn't seen each other in 13 years.  He is happily married to a musician, Penny Jo, and super into guitars.  He has a resonator which I had never heard of that has an awesome sound without needing an amp.  He is also super into music.  Always was.  Has music posters all over the house.
The food was awesome.  The owner and his wife are dedicated to local food.
This is on every table.  A shout out to the local growers!!!
The Texmati rice is local as are the winter greens.  Yum.
I love that my friends love dogs, cuz then I get to love their dogs.  I got a little choked up from all the love Ruby was dishing out.  This pit bull is a hunk of sweetness - she shared the bed with me, reminding me of my old lab, Sammy.  May he never lack for balls to chase after, and swim to his heart's content!
Oops, forgot his name.  He had to get to know me a little better before he'd give me some lovin'.
Oh, my goodness - have to come back and write about the awesome campfire musicfest next door!!  Totally awesome!!
