WINDY MONDAY..AND NOT 100 DEGREES OR HIGHER.


Westfest is almost over..shuts down at midnight. I was going to go see Gary P Nunn, but the wind is blowing like a mini hurricane and I ate all the dirt and dust and sawdust I need this morning when I was there. It was awful, but didn't stop Rae and I from buying some more stuff from the Arts and Crafts booths. I'm not sure what all Rae got, but I got a beautiful African picture, 3 necklaces, 1 bracelet, a 44 oz jar of local honey ($14), some honey straws, a container of Salsa In A Snap. for $10 I think, I forget. But damn it tastes good. You add a tablespoons to a can of diced tomatoes and you got some kick ass salsa.Has a bunch of different recipes to. Good stuff Maynard.
Only thing I ate was pork-k-bob and it rocked. I had to have some carbs so I asked if she could put it on a piece of white bread..There was so much meat she made a sandwich out of it and it rocked. It took a long time for her to put it together cause she was doing such a great job..I stuck a couple $'s in the tip jar for the extra work she did. Rae and I sat down in one of the beer tents and met 2 nice ladies from Dallas who had come down for the Fest. I'm hoping they will be new readers. If they are ?...Howdy.
going to make this short as I'm going to do a post about all that Babs, Rae and I did while she was visiting. Fun times. Enjoy the rest of your Labor Day weekend..

WESTFEST FRIDAY..nana nana boo boo


























While putting this together I am eating my first slice of bacon in about 5 months or better....I almost ate it raw I was so excited...baaaaaacon.
I'm doing so much better...My A1C went from 7.1 to 5.7...Dr. C was very happy as were all the office staff..but no matter what I did, my cholesterol, and my triwhatchacallits wouldn't go down..So I'm having to take a fecking pill. I hate taking more pills. Take a bill for blood pressure, pill to make me pee less, 2 types pills for diabetes, and another pill for? fuck I forget..But I'm down on my glyburide. Was taking a 5 mg 1/2 twice a day. Now I cut it in half, then cut the 2 pieces in half..and take one 1/4 of a 5mg twice a day..and my blood sugar is right on the money. Most mornings it's in the 70's and in the mid 100's at night..I doing good..
Holy shit this bacon is good. Ok..gotta get my bills paid, go shopping, clean house and get ready for Rae to get here. So excited. wish you all were here. I ever win the lottery I'm paying for everyone to come to West for Westfest...skunk eggs for everyone.
