okay----but yeah----since you are going on your annual pilgrimage ta Texcess, there is absolutely NO good reason for you and your wife NOT ta visit the BIG TEXCESS Steak house for a coupla FREE 72 ounce steaks! Be sure and take a photo, too.(see photo)Attachment 6570Originally Posted by Alan
I guess you're right. I was just thinking that if one is look for lawn ornaments, plastic pink flamingos are more frugal.

Actually, there's a couple of reasons not to visit there, one being that I don't think we'll be anywhere near as north as Amarillo and two, I've got history with Amarillo since I was born there (although I don't remember it), but the Air Force Base where my parents birthed me was closed in 1968. We've driven through Amarillo several times while rambling westward but never saw a reason to stop.

okay-----NO REASON TA GO THERE????? Al, it's your BIRTHPLACE!!! And o' course---once a Texcessan, always a Texcessan! Yup. So yeah----this time travel on out ta Armadillo, birthplace of Al. Yup. Another way to entertain yourself on your trip(besides admiring odd rock formations), would be ta stop at light truck dealerships along the way, and negotiate potential TRADES for your current rig, without getting screwed! See, now---that would make it more fun, would it not? Hope that helps you some. Thankk mee. Yup.
I don't have a need for a light truck littlebit, my current home away from home requires a heavy duty.

So, you're using a Peterbilt or Mack or Freightliner to pull your travel trailer? I thought you had a Ram, which is a light-duty.
Ahhh, you're talking about heavy duty trucks (commercial grade, class 7 and 8) and I'm talking about heavy duty pickup trucks such as the 2500/3500/4500 (GM/RAM) or the F250/F350/F450 (Ford). In pickup truck parlance everything above the 1500/F150 designation is heavy duty. You know that!

okay---tomorrow, i am planning a trip to Willard, Mo., in my nearly 19 year-old cheap old economy car that i picked up at the wreckin' yard nearly a decade ago. it needs a new battery, and one tire has a slow leak and it also needs the interior cleaned out and vacuumed. But yeah---its about THE cheapest new car you could buy, 20 years ago. But, it runs. I figure i might use it to haul an engine block back from willard, if all goes well. I just wonder if it would classify as light duty or heavy duty or what? Anya you kids use your Subbaroo ta haul heavy stuff? Just curious.
okay----Al, 'nother place i could recommend for you to stop-n-eat on your long trip ta Texcess is in Killeen, situated about midway between Wacko and Awe-stun, Texcess. So anyway---it's the Yank Sing Chineese restaurant, there in Killeen. But yeah---it's in the same zact building where a couple dozen people died(including the assailant)after a mass murder, when it was Luby's Cafeteria. I don't believe the killer had an issue with the food. Nope. (see photo) Enjoy your meal. Take a photo. Thankk mee.
okay----'nother cool trip you kids could go on is a drive-n-sleep-n-eat to Kansas City, Zurra and then onta Pair-O-dice Nevada. Yup. In KC, you can stay at the former Hyatt Regency now owned by Bally and called the Horseshoe-something. But yeah---in 1981, a walkway collapsed and smooshed dozens o' people. But they fixed 'er up and rebranded the place. And then---on ta Vegas to Bally's, where back about 81 or so, 85 people were suffocated/burned or suffocated AND burned to death in a fire caused by faulty wiring in a pastry cabinet downstairs. But yeah---they fixed the Hotel up again, so it's still there. Stigmatized, but still there. Hope that helps you some.
