It has been fun for me while Joe is working and I have to say even more than fun. . .today I went down a two-plus storey tornado water slide. It was exhilarating and got my adrenalin pumping. I was scared the first time and just as scared the second time I went down it, too. . .but I can't do things at a younger age and I am not going to let a little thing like terror do me in . . .ha ha ha. . .
As the picture shows, the slide starts at the window level of the third floor and actually leaves the building and re-enters at the top of the first floor and continues to circle to the floor level. Wow and wow again. . .
Tonight we are heading out the Rattlesnake Bar and Grill for dinner. If they serve rattlesnake I am eating it. Okay, I have had rattlesnake before when I was at the Wall Drug in South Dakota, but I still want to have it again to refresh my memory. . .or my bragging rights or something.
Tarka and I had lunch at the Wurst Shop in Dickinson. I hope we have time to stop there on the way home and take home some elk and bison (I refuse to call it "Buffalo" since it isn't.), as well as a roll of Italian Sausage to try out. I might pick up some head cheese to fry up for breakfast and some smoked hocks for red beans and rice, but I think I will skip the blood sausage this trip.
The owner and I chatted for a few minutes while I picked out a kuchen to share with Tarka. He was quite hospitable and not as full of baloney as he advertizes. we chatted about canning sausage which is something our grandparents used to do and not many do anymore.
I supose I should have posted all of this to the Table along with the fact that we found artisan bread at Albertson's grocery store. ..and guess what style it was? Pugliese. Is that not cool, or what?
