40% of rain Saturday :(



that's actually pretty good for an August day in NOLA. I would say 40% of every day in the summer sounds about right.

last year it rained for about an hour and it was frickin glorious…a little rain for this blistering hot event is not bad.

I'm going to limit myself to 1-2 beers a night in preparations for my liver Saturday.

Eat nothing but lean protein until Saturday and drink a lot of water. You will drop the weight. You can eat as much as you want.

The first time you eat something besides protein the weight will come back plus.

Took a few store visits to find something that fits me. Had to buy an XL and I'm pretty skinny. Feel sorry for bigger dudes.

I stalked a woman that I thought was about my size. I followed her around to see what sizes she was picking up. The 2 xl fits well.

Still gotta find my dress. I hate shopping... And there's no way I'm going into a dressing room in Texas cause they have no clue what RDR is.

Same up here. I'm hitting some thrift stores this evening, hopefully I'll get lucky at the first stop.

It can be hard to find them at thrift stores anywhere outside of NO unless you get lucky and the couple they have are in your size. Your best bet is to find whatever the regular stores have as they will have the multiple sizes. I will hit up target, TJ Max, walmart or something here in the next couple of days.
Last year was money as I was hanging around royal and other stores near the quarter the week before RDR and they had tons of shite.

I don't know a soul in Beaumont (so not too worried about running into people) and Lamar's colors are red and white so I feel like I can have some success at a thrift store.
