An Engineering firm called me down here for three weeks to sort out a rats nest.  Figured with all the work going on down here that  some body on the forum might be close enough to grab a beer with while I am on this fun vacation.

  When the engineering firm told me they reserved me a spot in a "Man Camp" I thought to my self well that's no good.  Since I have never been in a "man camp" my first thought was some form of a Nazi/Folsom Prison in tents and soap on a rope.

Well if all man camps are like this one the Holiday Inn would be out of business.  The room although a modified form of a trailer house is just as nice as a nice hotel. My room is the size of a small studio with a 42" plasma with Direct TV.   All the  private aminanties excluding a stove.  But who needs a stove when they cook you a custom awesome breakfast and then pack you a lunch for work and tonite I had a two pound ribeye with all the fixings and they clean your room and do your laundry and press it for free. 

Maybe you guys don't see what the big deal is but I am used to having to pay for all that stuff. If I was still a young bachelor in my younger years I would so live here forever. :grin:

Well like I said maybe I can catch up with one of my fellow members here in the next couple of weeks.

DID ya test the waters with my "lobster tail and steak followed by full breakfast midnight snack request"  LOL   It sure sounds like an alright accommodation to me compared to certain recent ones and most in general. Jeez by time ya pay laundry by the LB or worse do the evening at the laundrymat, roach coach hotel, eating at the local choke and puke, plus fuel and what little time ya got driving to it all.  Ya I would be happy with it.   Well heck I will drink way more then one with ya anytime buddy ya know that....right now it is closer for me to have one at ur house then there (400miles).  If I get a test down in Port Lavaca or you know where I will stop by on the way and see ya, I know what a let down, me again compared to someone new and interesting.  :lol:LOL

Sounds like a good excuse for a Sunday drive.  What's this weekend looking like?  I'm always up for a good story and some sweet tea.

Hey Strat.
