Except for the key for the stupid wheel locks::Rant:: so that project has been saved for another day. Then we headed down to Ennis for some good mexican food, only to find that it was closed, either for Sunday or maybe permanently, who knows? After snagging some Chicken Distress, we headed east for some spirited driving on the winding farm roads, occasionally slowing down for the 5mph bluebonnet gazers and gawkers::Daisy:: not to mention the sleepy basset hound in the middle of the road.
We then exercised our Second Amendment rights repeatedly until our supply of cans all lay at the bottom of Red Oak creek. Also chased away some mouth breathing trespassers unfamiliar with the concept of private property and the meaning of "fence". Another twisty trip on FM813, fantastic views and scenery, over to Palmer and then back to the metromess. Great day!:D
