My folks as with most of my family are in Texas, so breaking wind is not a problem. I hear you what you are saying though. I live in a small town (6500 now) but work in the city. Makes me appreciate where I live every time i come home.

I'd love to live in a small town of 10k or less. The one I live in has about 30k people. In the surrounding are of my city (3 counties) we have about 700k people and then Chicago/ Cook County has about 5 million, the surrounds counties in IL near Chicago have alot too. I live one the eastern edge of the chicago suburbs, actually in the country a little. Still WAY too many people for me cause if i wanna go to the store I have to go where the people are. I'd hate to live in the big city with several million people, heck 30k in my town is too much for me.

That does sound excellent Matt. Mind if I borrow the recipe?


relaxing and having several beers,

I have lived in the city my whole life, albeit on the far outreaches, but it's still busier than hell. I hate it. If I have half a mind I'll get out of here. Once I get my commission, I hope to get stationed in the middle of BFE. Maybe next to hat, I gotta keep my eye on him.



I like the way you operate, Tim.

Sometime you gotta take a break, I didn't feel like a beer till after dinner. I guess being full and relaxed was what I needed.

Was very good.

Borrow it all you like, All the ingedients I used i listed in my post. I don't measure anything when I cook. I never have, I always, "toss in a little of this and some of that, and a hand full or something else" when I cook. I learned from my grandmother, she cooked the same way. I get alot of comments from dad when i've cooked for him and tells me that my food tastes alot like his moms and that he really enjoys it becasue he misses her cooking.

When I marinade the meat (About 2 lbs +/-) I let is sit in the fridge for about 2 hrs( steak, cilantro,lime juice, soy sauce(or maggi seasoning), onion, garlic, 3 shots of silver tequila(2 for food, one for you), salt, pepper, oil. Remove the steaks from the marinade and slice into 1/4" wide strips. Quarter a large white or yellow onion, about a hand full of chopped cilantro, seed and slice one large green bell pepper, and add some oil to a pan. Start to saute for a min then add the meat, a little soy sauce for flavor (or Maggi seasoning if you have it), 2 shots of silver tequila (one for the food and one for you), crushed red pepper to taste, lime juice, salt and pepper. I cook my steak till its still a little pink and tender.

Its not gonna taste like regular fajitas, i don't like regular fajita seasonings so I came up with my own. It also easy stress with a couple shots of tequila. Play with the recipe too, add or take away things. Next time i make it I'm gonna leave out the soy sauce and add some hot peppers to the mix. The soy gave it a little sweet kick but still had some heat due to the crushed red pepper. Might even add some cummin to it too.

metropolitan areas have nothing for kids to do. but if you get in too small of a town, the opportunities to do something aren't there.
Like some others have said, there are more people in Houston, than OK.
I drove from Chicago to Milwaukee last week and never felt like I got out of town. the suburbs there are nice, but you end up having to go so far to do anything and even farther without people around.
I liked WY last time I was there, but its an hour drive to the next town.

Someone has to keep an eye on both of you if you are next to HAT.

THe GF and I plan on moving out in to the country somewhere in the next few years. We're going to have a house together in the sticks after we get married. Once she gets her time in at work she plans on look for an agency position in the company. She's like to have her own agency or work in the coporate part doing claims and adjustments or HR. We both have look at moving out west then to either Texas, Colorado, New Mexico or Arizona. Its better for her health to be out there and better for my sanity.

Very good thinking! On another note, if you want to either get irritated or cry from laughing you should look at https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=238811

Chicago and its suburbs suck, been here all my life and it get tiring and old with the crowds and traffic. You can drive on I-94 from Portage IN to Milwaukee WI and it will see as if you never left the city. There is plenty for kids to do here... if they consider the mall fun. I actually never had a problem keeping myself occupied, always project to do with dad, working on friends cars or trucks, drag racing, shooting, fishing, and farming. Some of my friend when i was younger didn't care for that stuff, they had to have video games and the mall.

I went through WY about 3 yrs ago, I loved it out there. Gotta be one of the prettiest states I've been through. People were all nice and it was very wide open.

Wyoming is amazing. Family business is based out of Gillette, I spend a good amount of time up there. I love it. A lot. I'll end up settling in either Az, Co, Id, Mt, Wy, Ut or Nv. That's pretty much it.

It took a long time to drive through but man it was pretty there. I would love to drive throught WY again. We figured moving out west is the best option for both of us, we both like it more there for several reasons.




G'night dtr, I'm out.
