Pretty Picture

Came out of the house this morning, about to head down to Whataburger for some biscuits and gravy, and this just struck me.

You ever say "Damn that looks so good!" when you see your truck in a picturesque setting?

This was really nothing special, just my truck sitting in the driveway, early morning sun and shadows falling on it.

Been a while since it was this clean, and I just had to stop and take a picture...



Doesn't look like a nearly 200,000 mile truck, does it?

That really is a great picture. I'm the same way with my truck and Mustangs.

I've always heard if you don't love seeing your vehicle when you approach it, or you don't turn around to look back at it while you leave it, then you own the wrong vehicle.

Looks great but I’ll admit everything seems better when thinking of biscuits and gravy!

I am glad you wrote that, I thought I was a weirdo since my truck always looks good to me like that.

Had to look to see how far away the nearest Whataburger is. 40 minute drive. Didn't even know they had them here in Colorado. I miss Houston food options.

Since Whataburger sold out 51% of the company to some northerners, they have been spreading them all over.
For a long time after they sold out, I couldn't stand to eat the biscuit and gravy, the gravy was horrendous, the sausage in it tasted like burnt scrapings off the grill. I complained mightily, multiple times. Talked to the manager of my local store, and she told me they had changed suppliers of their ground sausage they mix in the gravy, and she even said it sucked. Took almost two years of me complaining about it before they finally made a change, and now it is almost as good as it was originally. Of course I don't know about other areas of the country, they may use different suppliers, and I went to one up north of Dallas a while back and the gravy hardly had any sausage in it at all, so that sucked.

That is not just for biscuits and gravy, pretty much all fast food, and most other restaurant food is bad for your heart.
But, what will you do, eat nothing but what is good for you and be miserable doing it???
I already don't smoke, hardly ever drink, and am not overweight, sugarry, fatty foods are my vices, but I am a small eater so it doesn't have me weighing 300 pounds.
