Thanks guys, much appreciated…truely…

Just wish my shoulders and biceps would respond a bit better…with that said the chins today with slow negatives have much biceps and rear delts in bits.

If you look at the bottle it’s made at Avery Island which is basically a salt dome and in Iberia Parish, Louisiana. Where my father was from and half the people there are kin to me. Spent almost all my young summer’s there. Lot of relatives worked for Tabasco so it was and still is aways on the table. I use it like some people use salt.

Will it certainly kicked up my eggs and steak lol. Thats cool, must have good memories. Just curious Harr, where do you live in the US now?
Me and the misses want to go in the next few years, but i want to go to Cali, Texas side, shes wants to go to the New York / Canada side, just might have to do both lol. Australia, New Zealand after that…if the good lord spares us.

As far as you can get from Cali and New York, politically speaking. Live in Alabama, down south, when in the US. Not sure what you mean by Cali, Texas side. Texas is a good distance from Cali and several states away. About 2415km depending on what parts you go too. Been stationed in Texas, Cali and New York, though. Upstate New York near the Canadian border is beautiful. Been to Australia several times, all military exercises and none of the good coastal areas. Use to fly into Christchurch, New Zealand to resupply on a C5 on the way to the South Pole. Truly beautiful lands. Hope she, I mean you, get to where you want to visit.

Hahaha…yes am as conservative as they come too lol… i follow US politics…am a big DeSantos fan. Not a fan of that AOC gub shite, i detest socialists!! Especially champagne millionaire socialists like her.

Alabama looks like a great place…

Sorry i meant tour from Cali / Vegas lol (big difference)…the misses wants to do New york and Niagara falls. Ill get my way Harr…i always have the last say in my house…its usually “yes dear” lol

Several times to Australia, lucky man, and NZ lol…unfortunately NZ has one of the most disingenuous humans in history in the top stop. Another pinko liberal…but i digress…
