Bellied up to the table

Just found out Cracker Barrel has fried pork chops. I’ll hit them up tonight. Plus they have hash brown casserole tater tots.
 
Thanks for stopping by, Troy. I hate I missed you. I'll be in late this afternoon for the night shift.

My wife was ticked because we didn't come last weekend. I was afraid not to show up two weekends in a row.

And thanks! You know what for.

And, AND, I'm stuffed! The food was great!
 
Wrong bar. That was Sam Long's shop. It was downtown next to the RR tracks.
Yep. Sam was a friend for many years. I remember the day he told me he was stopping his chemo. :(

Lowspeed, where is your place? I need to stop by.

If my memory is any good, I think he's at 314 N. Polk street in Pineville.

Pineville Tavern, across from the big nursery and Huntley Marina at 314 N. Polk. Sam was one of a kind. I was always amazed at the amount of bits, pieces, and parts that he had in that building, but he knew exactly where everything was.

OK. you're by the little golf course.

Some of those bits an' pieces are here now...
Here as well. He used to let me forage and find my own stuff. I'd always find something interesting along the way. That was the retail stuff and the bigger parts like stocks and grips in back. Those hundreds of little bins with the obscure little parts in them? Only Sam knew where and what those were. He used to let me use his Bridgeport machine to mill my own slides for custom sights. Sam was good people.
 
There's a specific brand of shoe my wife wanted for work. She also uses only one brand of make-up. The shoe was at Dick's (blech), the make-up was at Belk's. Luckily, those stores are practically side by side at Carolina Place Mall.

She asked me if I was wearing a mask. I told her I wasn't because it was covered in goose wing sauce. So, she decided not to wear one either.

I kid you not when I say that in both places, with probably close to, if not over 100 patrons in each store, she and I were the only ones not wearing masks. I wasn't trying to send a message. I'm just not in the habit of donning one in my podunk town. But I was really surprised at the number that did. I mean, I expected to see a wee bit of non-compliance, but I saw none.
