Finally got out of Maryland and loving Texas life

[dogbone]

Getting down here took longer than I thought it would but it's been great so far. As an escapee from Maryland, I am so happy to be somewhere with friendly people who seem to understand the Second Amendment. Glad to have found this forum and hope I can make some worthwhile contributions to the community.

Made my first visit to Texas about two years ago and it took that long to convince the wife, sell the house, retire, and find a place in Hill Country we can call home.

Let me be the first to welcome you. Be glad you are in Llano County and not Travis. Wanna trade?

Thank you for the welcome. Been here long enough to know I am in the right place, so I will have to decline your kind offer to live in a liberal la-la land. Had more than enough of that in Maryland.

Had more than enough of that in Maryland.

But you had much better crabs!

I'm finding good Texas barbecue to be quite superior to even the tastiest steamed crab. Wife used to be a big crab lover but she is now sold on brisket.

I agree on the bbq vs crab.

You picked a beautiful part of Texas to live in. Welcome!

All the bbq I've had has been pretty darn good but you know what I'm liking even more than that?

The people! Everyone we've run into has been so kind and gracious in helping us get settled in our new home. Tasks which would be buried under a stinking pile of bureaucracy back in Maryland have been handled here in one quarter the time with one eighth the fuss by friendly smiling people. As an example, the closing on the sale of our house in Maryland took about two hours. Down here, the closing was completed in half an hour... and twenty minutes of that was spent trading recipes for sweet tea.
God bless Texas!

Thank you for the welcome! I do enjoy the natural beauty of this area and look forward to exploring more parts of this great state.

I can like both, can't I?

If you haven't been to Cooper's yet, get there as fast as you can. Try the pork chop. My fav.

Sure, but I can't.
I really tried. Annapolis, on the warf.
Awesome seafood. I ate everything except the crab. It just isn't for me.
I've tried it everywhere. No bueno.

Did the same and it worked for me.

Absotively! Might be fun to try a mix of the two. Crab stuffed brisket? Or is that heresy?
