Fast Food Mexican Makes Me Raw

I like 2 different Fast Mexican Food Joints.

1) Taco Cabana. You just can't beat the cheap fajita tacos.
Problem - They have banned Concealed Handgun Owners from entering the store with a handgun.
I can think of no better way to scream "Hey, Come rob me", than to post a sign forbidding law abiding, licensed citizens from entering with their firearm.
Taco Cabana is banned.

2) Chipotle. Can't beat their burritos or burrito bowls.
Problem - I got kicked out of the store today for bringing my new mountain bike in with me. I said " Hey, I'm trying to go green, and you won't let me in.??" (Of course I stretched the truth a tad on the going green part).
They said I could leave my bike outside, to which I responded, "It's a $700 bike".
They have no bike racks or any other way to actually keep a bike exept for leaning it up against the outside wall.
Chipotle is banned.

I am running out of decent fast food Mexican places.

I have half a mind to start my own Fast food mexican joint.

My ad would read : Tacos for sale. No shirt, no shoes, guns, bikes, planes, trains, kids, dogs, cats, horses all welcome...as long as your money is green.

Foosball

Work has become pretty dull. Luckily we have a foosball table now in our break room.
My brother works at the same company I do, so he is my daily foosball opponent.

It has gotten pretty bad. I'd say on any given day we play upwards of 10 games daily.

The table is a little old and it needs daily lubrication of the rods that the little men are on.
As you can imagine, I love messing with my brothers head.
Yesterday, I called him up and told him it was on. I got there early and lubricated my side of the table. I left the can of lube and some paper towels where he could see them.
When he comes in, he asks "Did you lube both sides?".
I of course replied, "Yes, of course".

I proceed to beat him badly.

After we were done, I whispered : "oh ya, I really didn't lube your side."

Fast forward next day.... He comes down for a game, I have can of lube out with paper towels.
This time, I am standing on the other side of the table....

I just love messing with his head.

Intro to Big Daddy

Welcome to my first ever blog.
I will use this opportunity to tell you what I am.

1) Texan - We were once a republic. Hopefully we will return.

2) Libertarian - Less governement is better. 95% less is best.

3) Red-Neck - I get done what has to get done. My definition of a red-neck : Rugged individual who doesn't need government or anyone else running my business.
Note to the Yankee readers : Red-neck does not = racist. That is stupid yankee talk.
I like all self reliant, hard working, stand up for themselves people.

4) Family man - My wife and daughters are worth fighting and dying for. Don't try me.

5) High Tech - I develop new technologies for semiconductor companies. I will keep this talk to a minimum so you don't hang yourselves.

Other stuff to know : I can't spell. My engineering degree taught me math, not that read'n stuff.
I am tri-illiterate. (I can't read in at least 3 languages that I know of).
I like cars, guns, stuff that blows up, college football, and playing a number of sports.

Stay tuned. I'll be reporting the ultra boring lifestyle of the High Tech Red Neck.
