Looking back at it, it was pretty funny. But at the time, it was Memorial Day Weekend and we were between Leakey and I don't know where when we ran out of fuel. It was about 100 degrees out there. We are out around Uvalde. No one is on the road. I am thinking that smugglers are the only ones on the road. Finally a family pulls over and crams us in their car and takes us back to Leakey. We got some gas and a Deputy took us back to the truck. We were pulling a trailer of cedar logs, too.

Oh, and my husband's wallet and checkbook were also stolen the night before.

Except for the cedar logs, the gas running out and the theft incidents, we try to repeat the trip every year.

scratching my head trying to figure out how honeymoon and cedar logs come together in the same sentence.

I think this is the first time I've heard of someone carrying cedar logs on their honeymoon.

I am with Bama on this, seems there is a missing part of this story. Could the reason you were taking cedar logs on your honeymoon be the real story? :lol: Plus you probably should cut the husband some slack, He probably did not figure for the lost mileage the logs caused. :lol:

This absolutely qualifies Lammie for a Jeff Foxworthy nomination!

I fill at the Supermarket fuel pumps, they only serve fuel, fill drive through and pay on exit done no hastle, the only hastle I have is my Husband he borrows my car, and never fills it and leaves me with an almost empty tank drives me to distraction I hate an empty tank, always keep it just above the half way mark. As all the muck clogs the fuel injections, but there's no telling him. I think it's his way of showing how he regrets swopping cars. as on the very rare occasions he does fill it he uses cheap petrol.

We went to San Antonio for the first part of the trip then we went on to Leakey, which is down around Uvalde. His dad has a cabin there and it is a great place to, you know, honeymoon. ANYHOO! Steve makes cedar furniture for a hobby. He was trying to make a living doing it then, and he picked up a trailer load of logs there to take back home. Meaning, yes, we did haul an empty flatbed trailer to downtown San Antonio and paid for two spaces to park it while we were there.

That's the redneck part. :roll:

Good for your sister. I think that people should have to stand to the side to scratch those things and then have to get back in the line to redeem or buy more. I had kinda of a fit about it one day several years back when I was trying to get my kid to soccer and some bum was holding up the cashier buying tickets, scratching and then getting more. I finally asked the cashier if he could not ask this gentlymen to stand aside so that the twenty or so other people waiting in line could check out.

I think t hat some people are simply oblivious to any one and any thing around them.
