Back to the Road Trip[/font]
After leaving Ethyls, we headed to Rogers place near O’Fallon where he had last years Burnout Picnic.
Due to all the rain and bad weather a lot of people did not come, compared to last years picnic.
Sad really as Roger and Debbie had prepared food and drink for so many people,
He sponsors this party from his own pocket.
Tylers cooler box showed us we were in the right place.
Due to the weather and complete failure of attendance, Roger moved it all down to one of his workshops, in stead of next to the lake.
Remember this from last year??
Closer this time.
The girl reminds me a whole load of one of my lady friends, Helene.
Roger Orf’s sense of humour and fun evident even on his trucks.
After leaving Rogers, we all went home to get ready for more food.......
We had a family table booked at Harry J’s Steakhouse. He is one of Adam and Dennis’ prime sponsors on the sprint cars we saw so much of last year. Adams day job in construction is keeping him busy 18/24 currently, six days a week, so racin has taken a temporary back seat.
Dennis had also reserved a few Prime Rib steaks for Craig and I.
Keep in mind, we had late lunch at Ethyls and been drinking all day, not at all drunk and unruly, but certainly relaxed.
Once everyone had regrouped we headed out to Moscow, Missouri to Harry J’s included was Granny Dorothy with her bottle of continuous oxygen and unstoppable sense of humour, putting up with Craig and I teasing her most of the time.
More gratiuotous (spelling) food shots.
At the bar, I saw a plate for our own Bstardchild Init?
Deep fried green beans and dip anyone?
Deep fried Pickle....??
I hear you say WT actual F ??
Just trust me......
Prime beef rib steak, blackened, Cajun style, done Medium Rare.
Melt in your mouth good.
Yes, it is a large steak, $23.00 including sweet potato fries and sides.
And nope...........
I did not have it alone.
Craig and I had already had a large meal of wings at Ethyls, so we shared this one.
It was good
After dinner where Dave the owner picked up the drinks bill for all of us, we headed home.
Bed by near midnight, we were headed out to a flea market/Bootfair by 06.30 Sunday morning.
Despite the rain that kept interfering with our vacation, while we just ignored it.
