Beach, Beer, and BBQ !

We are still here at the beach and loving it.  Although we miss our family and friends, we do not miss this !

OR this !  (our recent Houston Trip)

We prefer big surf days like this...................

When the surf is up, they come down from Houston in droves.  This was a Wednesday after a big offshore storm and there were about 100 surfers of all shapes and ages out there.  I guess they call it wave flu !  One guy I was talking to said he could even get my big ass up on a board if I wanted to try.  Maybe another day when the waves are not so big............

Speaking of our last trip to Houston we had the opportunity to visit the Corkscrew BBQ, home of the best Brisket in the Houston area.  Now if you know me, you know I love my Brisket and my favorite to date is the Brisket that Bubba whips up at Lockharts BBQ in Royal Oak Michigan.  BUT, Texas is known for its Brisket and this brisket was suppose to be the best in the area and our initial reaction upon showing up was...............we must be on to something.................................

Yes, that is a line, and there are about 150 people in front of us !  About an hour later, we made it through the front door.................................

Very cool, especially the ceiling treatment..................

Once we made it through to the front of the line we ordered the Brisket and what they called the "Loaded" Sandwich which had Pulled Pork, Smoked Sausage, and Ribs on it,..................

My apologies for the Brisket pic, I was so into eating me some BBQ that I forgot to take a pic 1st.

The Brisket was very good.  Great flavor, Great Crust, Sliced a little thinner than I like it, but very good.  Maybe a tie with Bubba's !!  Then again, I get the Bubba cut when I get to Lockharts !

A Saturday night trip to Lake Jackson had us stopping at a little Bar / Restaurant called the Wurst house.  They are known for their German food and their Beer, all 102 draft beers !!

I had a Dogfish 90 Minute IPA, MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, and a Bourbon Barrel aged beer who's name escapes me (prbly, cause it was not very good).  Only 100 more to try.  They also had a great little blues band playing.  A good time.

I would be remiss not to mention that on the 20th, we had our 33rd Wedding Anniversary !  That means that Brenda has put up with me all this time and we should all stand, remove our hats, and bless this woman.  Thank you sweet heart for the best 33 years of my life and to many more on our new adventure !

November 20th, 2015

Hey, I just realized that I have come full circle on the beard too !!  LOL.

Soooooo, we got a great deal on a Cruise from the Houston Cruise Port (no AIRFARE).  Who even knew that part of Houston was on the water !  Any way we got a 7 day cruise to Cozumel, Belize, and Routan for $224 each........................WITH the full drink package !!  So next Saturday we are off.  After we return we will head back home to Michigan to spend Holiday Times with our family and friends.  It may be awhile until my next post, but it should be eventful.........

I will leave you with a couple of funnies........................

Here's one with the spirit of FREE drinks on the cruise in mind..............................

Then there is this one for my SON..................

Behave, more to come !
