Today is Saturday, the second day of my long break. I'm glad that it's finally here...could use a few days off. We were short (as usual) on our day shifts. Luckily, we only had one mental transport going to Knoxville. It was on Wednesday morning, and yours truly had the 'honor' of taking it. I was back in Carter County by about 9:30 a.m., so it wasn't too awfully disruptive. We stayed pretty busy on the day shifts, but, all-in-all, we did o.k. to have been working short.

You may (or perhaps, may not) be wondering what's up with the pic of the New York Strips. Well, here's the deal. I don't normally go out of my way to 'plug' a product, however, I must make a rare exception. A couple of years ago, my wife, Rusti, ordered some steaks off of the internet from a company called 'The Tender Filet'. I actually kind of dogged her for ordering steaks from the internet. I quickly changed my position after eating one of them. We have been regularly ordering their products ever since. If you love a good steak, Please try this company. I don't know how they do it, but every product we have ordered from them has been of SUPERIOR quality! These are the best steaks you will ever eat. They are consistently tender, tasty, and fat-free. We have ordered almost every variety they carry, and they are soooooo much better than anything you will ever find in a grocery store or steakhouse! To beat it all, they are priced comprably to anything you will find in a grocery store. I have become totally spoiled by their products, and can't stand to eat a grocery store steak anymore. They also feature pork barbecue that is absolutely to-die-for!

The only reason I point this out, is that I want to spread the word to anyone who may encounter this lame-a$$ blog. Do yourself a favor, and order you some steaks from them. I will enclose a link to their website.

Peace-out!
