Default Hello from Galveston TX

Hey guys, just thought I would say howdy from this hot and shitty place. The humidity is so bad it almost reminds me of Thailand. And this place is FLAT. I swaer to god from my 8th floor hotel room I can see the curvature of the eath. And thats looking inland.

But the place I am staying is REALLY nice. "Merril Gardens". Great place to bring family, to bad I am here for business and wont have time to go go rent a freaking fishing pole. I was hoping to get a few minutes just to cruise over to MTI and check out thier place but they are an hour out from Galveston.

Anyways, back to work for me. I'll be back in town tommorow.

Awww Texas, gotta love it. Constant mpg analysis, beautiful women, easy tune abilities, plenty of straight roads for racing, beautiful women, nice warm weather, no rain, good food, great culture, beautiful women, you know what they say everything is bigger and better in Texas.

Yeah MTI gots some nice cars, but they close by 5. Plus there's plenty other things to do there.

Being from Houston, all I can say is that Texas looked good in my rearview mirror.

It doesn't count if it's only one game in baseball, it has to be the series.

You have to go to your local donut shop and get one or two. Just tell em sausage and cheese. They're similar to pigs in a blanket but are so much better. Everytime i go back i bring two dozen or so and freeze em for breakfast.

I wanted to try and throw it in the back of the rental and then just pay southwest to carry it up as freight. But if the pilot going home is as good as the pilot coming down I am going to have a hard time getting on the plane let alone putting the motor in the cargo hold.
