Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

all tucked into a very nice spot at the Cajun Heritage campground in Beaux Bridge LA.
got off one stop this morning early on to get gas and food.
Got back on highway and realized I had forgotten the food.
felt pretty stupid.
went on til next big town, Sulphur and there was a Brookshire Bros nearby and that's where I headed. I think I was the only person in the store, very strange but then not many people out on street either.

I can now officially proclaim that Houston drivers are seriously aggressive.
Some lead footed Louis, mostly in pickup trucks.
lot of road construction headed East on 10, not a pleasant cruise.

had nice chat with lady at desk here. Had to make sure they didn't have live entertainment tonight and she said no, very quiet tonight.
I told her I was headed to NO for gumbo and she said that was different gumbo.
Creole gumbo had beef and pork sausage where NO gumbo added tomato and okra.
Kind of reminds me of two kinds of clam chowder on East coast.
She suggested I go to a nice restaurant down the street.
Bet I could get some heartburn for breakfast there.

Texas sun up. Lots of oil field trucks. Definitely in a swamp.

going to send up drone through all these trees and see what I can see.
you just never know

Temps are currently dropping. High of 61° might have already happened.
Breezy out. Need to mow. Colder tomorrow. Back maple tree about bare already.
Buppies, hope you feel better.

I finally get Columbus Day off. One I used to have to work.

In retirement, it’s no Holidays off… or is it all holidays off?

I used to look forward to working statutory holidays.
1.5 times the pay plus my hourly rate. That made it double time and a half. $75 bux an hour is easy to take when you work 14 hours.

I don't think there's anything here other than algae and bugs
I might try going up higher later
plus pics are dark again

Restaurants Norleans
If the locals eat there it's probably good, and looks awful

The bigger bugs are in the water, swimming not suggested.

going further up worked better, can see the River now
I am not going to interact with local wildlife hopefully
though I saw an alligator petting zoo nearby
I'll pass

My friend and former Cajun coworker is from that area. He gave me the jambalaya recipe I use.
Would love some of that creole right now, yum.

lol, I’m working today, so I must not have gotten it off.
Glad Sophie got back safe and sound.
Got yard all mowed up. Wind was wicked, blowing everything in the face when going the wrong direction. Tried to minimize that. Am covered in stuff. I did wear a face mask.

Took down my dish tv antenna and put it in the barn. Will remove the old receiver later. Hasn’t worked in over 2 years. Even pulled in the coax cable thru the wall. Need to caulk that hole.

Took down deer netting from around garden.

edit: old dish receiver has HD removed, and it is trash. Saw a burnt capacitor inside, the reason it stopped working..

Crayfish or locally called Crawdads made the Creole way is great eating.
We got them live in a large bucket and left them in the bucket for a couple of hours to expel sand. Boiled with creole spices and they turn dark red and ready eat. Twist the head off and eat the tail.
Attended conferences in NO and remembered the great restaurants for sea food. An easy town to entertain clients in, they all loved it
