I used to want to live in the mountains. My latest trip to blue ridge cured me of that. Not sure I can deal with the “locals”. The meth vibe was super heavy. Cured me of wanting to live up there. My [BLEEP] belongs in FL.
I wasn't in the meth mountain section. It was Banner Elk where me and the other ladies in the family went for mother's day weekend. Boone is relatively close. My in-laws won't go too deep into the Blue Ridge scene. I can't say I would want to either.
I'd live in the mountains if I had my way.

Mountains, meth and cousins…lots and lots of cousins. My Kentucky born mother has 30 first cousins on her moms side alone. 20 on her dads. We had a family reunion n Cumberland Gap this weekend, having that much family around at once is kinda scary. 
sounds like y'all could fill the gap with that many kinfolk
Not sure if this should post in here, or the golf thread, or the booze thread, but I'm headed out to play golf with Rico and friends for a few days.
Please pray for my liver.

Probably wouldn’t hurt to add a Dallas area bail bondsman into your phone contacts.
Definitely not a big drinker anymore, but the wife and I went out to this new Mexican restaurant here in The Cove.. Great food and fast service! Had a few margaritas at Mariachis!
Good stuff!

I like Mexican food, but it seems like all Mexican restaurants serve exactly the same food. They put the exact same chips on the table with the exact same dipping sauce. There must be a factory where they make all the Mexican food for all the Mexican restaurants, because it's all exactly identical. What's the point of going to a new Mexican restaurant to experience the exact same food as another one?
And yet people keep inviting me and the wife to go experience whatever new Mexican restaurant has popped up, and it's always the same as all the other Mexican restaurants we go to. I'm not complaining; I love beans and rice, but damn, it's not any different from the other Mexican restaurants in town.

Cold hard fact. I’ve eaten at a few which stood out, but by and large this is the truth.
And most rarely season their food enough.

This is why I love the Korean-Mexican fusion place here in town. Bulgogi taco? yes please.

That's definitely true.. But, I can say that they cook their beef a bit differently than some of the other Mexican restaurants we've been to around town. They cook their ground beef for their dishes down to extremely fine pieces.. I guess the best comparison would be fine as course sand. Very fine beef.. Not overpowering with the Mexican spices either. That's always been a problem for me.. A little goes a long way. I can only speak for their beef though, since I've only been there once so far.. Oh, their chips are much different too, you can tell they're homemade and pretty thick. Like they intended on them not breaking when ordering nachos or filling them up with their salsa.. So overall, this one had a bit of a different feel to it..
I guess hamburgers can be the same way.. Wherever you get a hamburger, it's still a hamburger, but the cooking and preparation makes the dish.. This was one of the better Mexican Restaurants we've been to..
If that helps!
That and it being a mile away down backroads from my house, I may partake in a few more margaritas and not worry too much about a designated driver haha

Although I did just get back from Phoenix for a golf trip with NYC4Jags and a couple of other friends.
