It was a full week in the heat here in Austin, TX with temperatures climbing into the triple digits almost everyday. One of the first things we did was take the car to a Firestone and learned that it was a faulty oxygen sensor which was causing the Service Engine Soon light to come on. $300+ later it was fixed. I've spent the week enjoying the golf courses in the area, which are in surprisingly good shape despite the severe drought, playing with my new clubs that were waiting for me when I arrived. I played at Roy Kizer Municipal GC in Austin, Plum Creek in Kyle, and The Bandit in New Braufels (my favorite) on my own, plus Balcones Country Club near Round Rock with my second cousin Chris Sheppard. (Map of the golf courses) Tara has been shopping and finding deals with her mom and best friend Edith Stahl. We have enjoyed the fine cuisine in the area, Trattoria Lisina Restaurant and Winery in Driftwood, Green Mesquite for their Monday Chicken Fried Steak Special, and The Saltlick BBQ for the best brisket, sausage, ribs, and turkey anywhere, not to mention the great food that we have cooked up here at the house. We have another week + of relaxing here before we need to start making our way east to the beach in NC. We'll be sure to update daily once we are on the road again. Pictures will be posted one of these days.
