GREASE IS THE WORD

Good Morning friends, how you guys doing?
Having a lazy weekend. Yep slept till 9:00 stayed in my pj's till 3:00 p.m. Had a 4:00 hair appointment, then a quickie trip to Kroger's. Then backed to the cozy comfort of our home. I think we set our clocks ahead about 9:00 pm springing forward, crawled into bed and out we went. This morning Harry is cooking our Sunday breakfast. My chair feels so good I plan to keep the indention in place. 
Last weekend we played hard. Went to Sealy and watched  old fashioned drag racing. Now that was a blast from the past.
Some much fun watching all those old cars get there grove own. They had 64 mustangs, 67 camaros, ford falcon
56 Chevy trucks and 57 ford trucks, sling shot dragsters, nomads. Smoking  spinning tires. Popping  wheelies at take off. Rived up engines so loud you ear drums ached.  You name it they raced it. We walked pit row amazed at all IRA and retirement funds that people put into their cars. In fact one dude blew his engine while racing it is only money and you can't take it with you enjoy your dreams.
Also the music from the nifty 50's and peace loving 60's.
Every be bop, twisting, stroll, and belly rubbing slow dance song they made back in the day were playing.  Yep like a Saturday night at the old High School gym Sock Hop and after the dance a make out session in the old hot rods. A good weekend. We brought Cody with us and he was really impressed. He wants to soup of PaPa's truck.
We were not aware that they racing so close. My brother n law ask us to meet up with them. He has a old high school buddy that raced.  You might know him Pee Wee Bowen. He is an old La Marque Tiger graduate. Has a band and played music for some 50 years. We try and go see him when he plays at T Bones Tom, on 146. Always a sweet treat when his daughter sings with him. In fact T Bones has a lot of nice bands on Friday night. Many friends and even my cousin from Houma, we would gather on Friday night for group hugs. Now with spring weather and daylight saving time we hope will see you there.
Rodeo Houston is now in full cowboy mode. Now 85 years of go western days. The number of trail rides have dwindled over the years, but the 7 trail rider teams that made the week long
100 mile trip made their way to the traditional downtown parade. Covered wagons, area high school marching bands, cowboys with their 10 gallon hats, spurs and chaps. Now that's TEXAS. Another popular event of the festivities is the BBQ cook off. About 365 teams compete for the bragging right of the best meat. I not going there. Yep it has become the biggest wildest two night drunken bash to kick off the rodeo. This must be a prerequisite for entry. The Galveston County Fair and Rodeo in Santa Fe will soon have their bash Teams set up as early as the weekend before the event. The energy drink, cold long neck by the cases and liquor by the gallons that's the first to be unloaded. Well come the weekend it's a riot waiting to happen. You drink till you pass out in your throw up, shout all the profanity you can scream, stop to take a pee not caring who see you. I am at a lost for words how the young girls dress. Now mind you most of the unruly is the crowds is those that pay to come into the fair.
The chief cook of the teams is responsible for his area and the behavior of all that are in his spot. My complaint the rodeo committee seems to turn their heads and do not have enough security for the number of people in such a small area. The parking is a huge problem. Never enough, if you are lucky to find a spot good chance you will be blocked in. So you have to find the police, who has to find the tow company, who has to weasel their way through a maze of cars parked any which way. Well this is why Harry and I choose to go out on Thursday night and Saturday for the awards ceremony. Leave before the crazy people arrive. During the week night they do have a lot fun activities with the FFA. They young kids that have put their all into the raising and caring of animals. Some involved in calf scramble, barrel racing, chuck wagon racing.
Do go out early in the week and watch the kids and while in the neighborhood come by our place and I'll fix you plate of BBQ on Thursday evening and Saturday.
Well it's time for me to get dressed and moving. 
XOXOXO to all
