I WANT MEAT screamed Mrs Fogg! Having seen Hulk Lady kick a 380kg bike off her leg, who am I to argue.

Off we popped to the Salt Grass Steak House, where everyone was tripping over themselves to help Bigfoot. A little appetiser each and a salad each as part of the main meal, followed by a 9oz Sirloin with Coconut Shrimp and asparagus, ah slight problem Mrs Fogg’s came with onion even though she asked for none. Rather than taking it away and simply removing the onion, they took it back and re-cooked it from scratch. I was almost finished mine when the senior waiter came over, saw Mrs Fogg still waiting and then steamed into the kitchen to sort it out.

Out popped the steak, under cooked, off he barrels again to get it killed.

Mrs Fogg eventually got her grub with profuse apologies and a discount.

Meanwhile, we were (for a change) being very British, no fuss, no rush. It’s not like we are in a hurry to go sightseeing with Gimpy here.

Name the Song

And the Singer

Minus the House

And here we crossed from Oklahoma to Texas and one of the first stops was the Barbed Wire Museum in McLean, which is interesting if you like Barbed Wire.

As we headed out through town the skies got much much blacker as storms hit hard on the I-40 between McLean and Amarillo. We were pelted with 50p sized hailstones as we had to slow to get round over turned semis on the Interstate.

So tonight a chill and the only thing you can eat in Texas, steer with fries.

Well the weather forecast over us for the next day until we hit Texas looks a little grim. All rehearsed and ready, ruby slippers (check), close your eyes (check), wish you were home (check), now place your left hand on the purple circle and right foot on the blue square.

Quiz time, in the many repeated version of the movie Twister, name the first animal to be heard in Surround Sound in the movie and for a bonus point what was the name of the weather device?

Incidentally we saw our latest lookalike today at Ollie’s Station in Redfork, complete with clothing and hair style, direct from RoadHouse. So pop movie quiz, name the actor, name his character and for an extra brownie point what is the tenuous connection between this character and Mrs Fogg?

I have to admit country doesn’t do it for me at all, straw hats, cowboy boots, check shorts and warbling bout lovin to a banjo, just don’t float my boat at all.

As we came through Oklahoma all of the roads are named Garth Brooks this and that and then when we checked into the hotel there be a good ole boy in dungarees and a straw hat, now what was I think, oh yes Yee Haa.

The pics are of some of the original Route66 concrete slabs from the1930s and the bridge had 38 “pony” trusses. So tonight we are stopping next to Lucilles Road House, where Mrs Fogg will no doubt partake of something healthy

So the very first picture will ever stay in Mrs Fogg’s memory as our crash site just out of Miami OK. As we set off in the Ford ScrewU car, we then exchanged for a 4×4 that Mrs Fogg can climb into and chill with her chauffeur.

The instruction came to stop for food at Ollie’s in Red Fork OK right on R66. No sooner had I stopped and long John silver was out and racing for scran.
