Zero NFL watched this year for me!!
Well, I did watch a bout 10 minutes of the “Pro” Bowl.
Watching the “Pro” Bowl is like watching a train wreck. You know it’s horrible, but you want to watch the disaster!
I get that multi-millionaire athletes don’t want to get hurt off season, but seriously, take the pads off, officially make it “Touch Football” and stop the embarrassment !!
“Super” Bowl?
Nope, not a minute.
I’m really excited about completely missing the 2019 season !!
I have been blogging since 11/12/2011.
Not bragging, nothing really spectacular or special.
But, it’s funny to look at how many people start blogs and then quit !!
I am no one special and probably don’t have anything remarkable to say and quite frankly, I am the world’s least interesting person. That’s why I was amazed and filled with awe when I saw that people read what I posted, “liked” and even commented !!
WOW !!!!!!
There was a time maybe five years ago when I posted more often and had a good sized audience of regulars. I’d like to post more, but even just writing a simple post every day or so takes a fair amount of “sit-down-and-do-it” time. And also quite frankly, I’m not confident that I really have something original and interesting to post without doing what every one else is doing. I have a lot of respect for both professional bloggers and amateur bloggers that can put out quality on a regular basis.
OK, there is a point to this and the title of this post.
I have a Youtube account and post my videos there and I post videos there that I use for comments on other blogs:

Scroll down and find my reply.
Now, the funny thing is that video got 1500 views on the first 3 days and currently has 2500 views after 6 days !! Now, 2500 views on Youtube is not impressive except that it is for my account !!!!
Back to my blog.
There are several posts that I have done that get hits/views almost daily:
Women Olympic Beach Volleyball and Bikinis
Gratuitous Super Hot Olympic Babe (non nudity)
65 MPH Bikini Top Remover……………….
So, how many creepy guys worldwide (I get hits from 6 continents) peruse WordPress looking for possible soft core porn?? (HINT it’s real easy to find porn anywhere on the internet easier !!)
So, with no further ado, I am posting that video here with the blog post title, just to see how many views this post gets!!
Ironically, there will be the same percentage of non Americans in attendance.
Zero minutes watched so far this season.
WOW !!! It is really easy NOT to watch the NFL.
Yup
I’m just one guy.
But I’m just one guy that doesn’t go out to restaurants on Sunday, Monday or Thursday just to avoid any accidental NFL viewing.
Open Water Grill was literally a stone’s throw from the condo. Now, the original website I found for OWG did not have a menu on it and when I googled around, I found a Yellow Pages site that had the menu. My daughter was excited that there was BBQ brisket on the menu. (Our last vacation last year was to the Wisconsin Dells and we had dinner at Paul Bunyan’s and we had the BBQ brisket and she was quite taken with it.) Well, turns out that menu was from 2015 and there was NO BRISKET !!!!
My daughter ended up getting chicken tenders and hush puppies. They were really good she said. I got the fish ‘n chips. They are made with the catch of the day and I’m not sure what it was, but it was great. The crust was kind of a combination of breading and batter. When cut with a fork, it didn’t all crumble and fall off. Came with an unusual spicy kale slaw that was good.
This was an expensive dinner. With tip it was about $70. That’s how the food bill adds up quickly !
We took another mighty fine family vacation this year and as we did last year, we went to the Outer Banks.
And as we did last year, we stayed over night at Beckley, West Virginia rather than driving straight through as we did the first time going to the Banks. (Will never do that again !!)
It was a pretty good drive. 9 hours and 21 minutes with just a couple of quick stops at the Speedway gas stations in Greenfield, IN and Chillicohte, OH for gas, snacks and bathroom breaks. The weather was fine and there were no traffic issues of note. I have a new car, as my last one was totaled in an accident and one of the really neat features is that I can plug my phone into it and use Giggle Maps with GPS !!! I used to print up maps and mark out any major intersections or turns and the such, but this is a real game changer. I think the best part is it I can see traffic issues on my route and plan accordingly. That came in very nicely on the drive home.
On the the trip home the previous year we stopped at a “Bojangle’s” restaurant. The family still says that it was the best chicken at any fast food place we have ever had !! So on this trip, I made sure to map out all of the Bojangle’s on our route and as luck would have it, there was a new one in Beckley, WV !
“Bojangle’s Famous Chicken and Biscuits”
Oh was that GREAT !!
I did have to wait a bit for my order and the pretty girl added a couple of pieces for my time. As great as the chicken is, the biscuits are even better. The fries are good, but because they are seasoned fries, I can’t call them great. Now, truth be told, for dinner I just ate the fries and my biscuit, hard to believe, but I really didn’t have much of an appetite. The good news is, I finished the chicken on the next day’s drive to the The Banks and gosh darn if that chicken is just about as good cold as it is hot.
Everyone has their own super secret way of cooking a steak.
I don’t have a secret.
It’s really just not too difficult.
I use a gas grill, have for almost 30 years.
I like it for the convenience and the ability to control the heat.
So here I go with my 16 minute steak:
On this day, it was filet.
Never my first choice and one of my least favorite cuts of the cow. But the in-laws were coming over and the grocery store had filet on sale for $4.99 for 6oz. Much higher than my price point for steak, but that’s what I got. Filet is just always too dry for my taste.
There are just two ways to cook a steak:
Rare
Medium rare
Anything beyond that and you should just go have a boneless skinless chicken breast.
