Anyone interested in hanging out and grabbing lunch, while I am in town visiting my sister and her husband? I know it is Memorial day weekend so if you all just want to grab a quick lunch that is cool, or if you all want to drive out to her lake house on Lake Travis and take a dip or maybe go to Horseshoe Bay resort and use their all natural grass ($1million) putt putt course her husband works out there. Just let me know:
-Lunch?
-Putt Putt (at horseshoe bay)?
-Lake Travis swim (at my sister's lake house)?
Anybody interested at all? They have a boat, but I think it is getting work done on it and don't know if it will be done before this weekend.

Cool, my sister said that the Shady Grove in Austin or The Bluebonnet Cafe in Marble Falls might be options to eat. But I have no preference at all, where would you all like to eat/meet any preferences?
And also my sister said we can definitely head out for putt putt if you want after Lunch. Drive from Austin to Horseshoe Bay Resort is about 1 hour. Let me know so I can set up a tee time, if you have never been to Horseshoe Bay Resort the $1million putt putt area is amazing! It has all natural grass greens an artificial river and waterfall with live birds all throughout the course, it is pretty cool, but no pressure, lunch anywhere in the area is cool with me.

Shady Grove is pretty neat, Jay do you remember when I took you there? I guess if everyone wants to play putt putt than we could eat in Marble Falls???? I can go either way.....I hate making decisions....:)

That sort of thing NEVER happens in Moab...:razzgray:
Mostly alcohol induced brain injury happens there...:naughty:
Hope this won't end your tap dancing career...:rotate:

I am not doing any dancing at this time, let alone walking.....I still drank heavily to numb the pain......In addition to the 3 toenails I had to have removed when I got back, I am going to loose my big toenail on that foot too....AND the other foot large deep blister on bottom of heal that had to be opened and dressed for all the drainage. I cant figure how to reduce the size of the image to post here, I have silly PC at work, I could figure it out at home ont he Mac...

How far did you hike before your feet said enough!!:eek: Was it like the next day or did they hurt with each step?

around 22 miles....cuz the last 4 miles my heals felt like knives going thru them every step, but not until I got to the car and put flip flops on did I see I had blisters under all the toenails......had no choice but to keep going though.....

Seriously that looks like it hurts. If it helps I fell from 17' in the vault and landed on my heels last thursday, bruised my heels and I have been unable to train for a few days.... but nothing like that, I am so sorry.
So lunch? Anybody else? That picture sure makes me hungry.....

Ryan, where will you be coming from? Marble Falls? And what day works best, than we can decide where??? I am way out 1431, North Lake Travis, on the way to Marble Falls, so for me, I would rather not drive all the way into Austin to Shady Grove....

My sister's house is in Spicewood on Lake Travis, so yeah out in that area would be more convenient, but whatever works. Also out that way would be far closer to Horseshoe Bay for some Putt Putt
