Default OK everybody....

...it's finally sunshining here in the Alamo City. Going to go clean up the Vette, grab Momma and take an all-day cruise in the Hill Country, culminating in Luckenbach this afternoon for a Hill Country jam session. Gird your loins, batten down the hatches, 56K take a hike cuz I'm gonna be a Japanese tourist with my new digital. Catch youz guys this evening.

Damn, Tracy, if I was not finishing up with my tile house mod, putting back the trim, I would join the two of you for a boost blast, I love going to Luckenbach, always a time to have a few cold ones and some closed course runs in

Clear up this way (DFW) - BUT, 40% rain chance, and it comes in from the South!

As a note - if you pass through Hamilton, wave hi - I was born and raised there

That's too funny. Probably 'cause I just got back from Disney World and still have a very vivid visual! Enjoy the day!

Don't forget to take Waylon


There only two things in life that make it worth livin'
That's guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
I don't need my name in the marquis lights
I got my song and I got you with me tonight
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

Chorus:
Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin' got us fueding
like the Hatfield and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs
and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas
ain't nobody feelin' no pain

So baby let's sell your diamond ring
Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away
This coat and tie is choking me
In your high socitey you cry all day
We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones
Four car garage and we're still building on
Maby it's time we got back to the basics of love

Chorus:
Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin' got us fueding
like the Hatfield and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs
and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas
ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin' got us fueding
like the Hatfield and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs
and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas
ain't nobody feelin' no pain
