Coyote Sams in Tyler

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:11:19 +0000

Restaurants open and close in Tyler like the blooming and falling of leaves in the trees. It seems that no week goes by when I don’t hear about some new eatery opening in this town. One of Tyler’s newer restaurants (not brand new mind you), is Coyote Sam’s.

Located at 5424 Old Jacksonville Highway in Tyler, it seems destined to be another cult fav for many Tyler residents. I think the bar is one of the main reasons why. It’s fairly large, well stocked, and open fairly late.

Personally I really like the outdoor patio area but it’s really only useable in the cooler months. Come fall it’s a tremendous draw, but during the summer months it provides no real incentive for me to eat there.

The food is a bit pricey, but good. It’s not something to inspire letters home in my opinion, but it is a locally owned, original establishment, far preferable to Appleby’s or the like. The menu consists largely of burgers, barbeque, and a little fish.

I also should point out by the way that they do have a great brunch menu, and it’s actually pretty reasonably priced. My experience at Sam’s was not a bad one. The food was fine and the atmosphere was great. As I recall the service was a bit slow the night I went, but that could have been due to the fact that they had only newly opened.

Like I say, the coming cooler weather should make the place more appealing to patrons like myself, who enjoy the outdoor dining. Some readers will probably disagree with me here, but based on my admittedly limited experience with Coyote Sam’s, I would have to give it a three, out of five stars.

But don’t take my word for it, try it out for yourself and leave your thoughts on this site. For more information on Coyote Sam’s, visit their website at www.coyotesamsbarandgrille.com/home.

Obama and The New Bill of Rights

Obama Changing the Bill of Rights

I thought this picture was too good not to post on here. Who in Tyler Texas is happy with what Obama and his team of self stated Marxist Czars are doing in the Whitehouse? How did you like that illegal take over of health care? You know, they past a dummy health care bill so that they can change it later however they want. That tactic was only supposed to be for budgetary issues not new law.

Read about the Marxist Czars here I am not making this up – click here

What will Obama and his political crew not do is the question at this time. If they can write new law without the votes than they can do just about anything they want. I think this picture pretty well sums it up.

Tire Barn and The Big Tire Depot

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:16:59 +0000

A year and a half ago I wrote a short article on the Tire Barn in Tyler TX. Given the week I’ve just had however, I thought that a new testimonial would be in order. While I knew that my alignment was in need of servicing, it was not severe enough to get me to spend the forty dollars to have it checked and adjusted.

That is until it suddenly became dramatically worse. While driving home in the pouring rain, I found myself fighting to maintain a straight ahead course. The problem was slightly better on a dry road but it proved to be more than simply a traction issue. A day later I took the car in to the tire barn.

Unfortunately but predictably, it was more than simply an alignment issue a well. Turns out, the starboard control arm had gone bad and had to be replaced.

I wasn’t surprised to find a bigger issue but neither was I excited about the prospect of dropping the cash for the repair, unfortunately waiting until a more financially opportune time to make the repair simply wasn’t an option. The folks at the Tire Barn were a great help.

While I went to lunch, they called around, got the parts and made the repair! The only thing they were unable to do was find a used tire to fit my needs. Rather than buy one new tire, I paid a visit to another Tyler business with whom I’ve become a little too familiar lately.

For the most part, the Tire Barn has been very successful in servicing my little vehicle. For more information visit their webpage at www.tbtyler.net. To contact their office call (800) 738-5791. They are located at 13687 FM 206 in Tyler.

Tires Big Depot, (TBD) although awkwardly named, has never failed to find tires for my car, even when the Tire Barn was out of stock. I’m told they are a difficult size to find, but the hard working guys at TBD have yet to experience this difficulty.

And after needing tires a couple of times the last six months or so, I’ve given them ample opportunity to run out of product. They have yet to let me down. They are located on the corner of Houston and S Gentry at 532.

To reach them by phone (which is generally not necessary) call 903-595-3161. Both of these establishments have proven to be great Tyler businesses. If one can’t help, I’ll wager the other can.

Eating frequently for weight loss in Tyler, Texas

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:53:02 +0000

Nearly every fad diet out there will tell you to deprive your body of calories and exercise yourself to death in order to lose weight. Well, not only is this a sure recipe for failure, it is also dangerous for your health. Any weight you do lose will come back once you go off the diet, and you may even gain a few extra pounds because you have slowed your metabolism down so much. When you eat smart choices often, however, it sends a message to your body that it is getting all the energy it needs so there is no reason to keep storing fat.

The best idea is to eat smaller meals or snacks every 2-3 hours up to 6 times a day. Some people find this more difficult than it sounds because of busy Tyler, Texas schedules. Many people feel that they are stuffing themselves constantly and have difficulty eating as often as prescribed because they just don’t feel hungry. The idea, however, is to eat small portions, not 4 course dinners. Reach for a handful of grapes one time, a cup of low-fat yogurt the next, and maybe a small grilled chicken salad or sandwich on wheat bread for a more substantial meal.

Eating this way rather than the traditional “3 squares a day” will help to put your body’s metabolism into high gear and you will see pounds start to come off even with no additional effort.

American Patriots Bible

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:27:35 +0000

This is a new King James Version Bible that also has some of our nations founding Christian principles and stories in it.

This Bible would be a good resource for those who would like to be caught up on principles rather than politics.

What Tyler Texas and the nation needs is a new love for solid Christian principles that made our nation one that values and protects individual liberties.

A Bible like this can help equip you to tell your friends, family, and the public why we must stand up and fight for the principles soldiers fought so hard for that we have today.

Had Lunch at Los Gueros Over By The Original Brunos Pizza on Vine

Los Gueros Mexican Restaurant

I ate lunch today at Los Gueros and it was another stellar meal.

This place is great. Get their tacos or burritos and of course a bottled Coke.

Something about that bottle makes Coke taste so much better.

If I had to pick I would be hard pressed between this place and Don Juan’s mexican.

They each have their own style and so it offers a little change up in authentic mexican food in Tyler without those smelly nasty chitlins all over the food that you get in the really authentic stuff over in North Tyler.

If you like chitlins more power to ya my brother I just hate that nasty stuff when I see them swiming around in some beans or something.

Tyler, Texas Weight Management: Dangerous Diuretics May Dehydrate

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:40:36 +0000

Diuretics can offer great relief for the times you truly need them. Feeling bloated can be quite uncomfortable and if this is the reason you are using diuretics then you should be fine. Abusing diuretics for the purposes of weight loss, however, is a really bad idea. Sure, it may work for a day or two, but if you continue using them thinking you’ll keep losing weight you will end up dehydrated and sick.

Diuretics in Tyler, Texas, often called water pills, work by increasing the production and elimination of urine. They are very effective at getting rid of excess water that the body may be retaining. Most people will see a difference on the scales when using diuretics. However, keep in mind that the pounds you see here is nothing more than water weight, not fat. If they are used beyond one or two days, the body will begin to retain more water in an attempt to protect itself against dehydration.

Once the body enters this stage, a vicious cycle begins. You stop taking the water pills and begin to feel bloated because the body is retaining water. So you take some more pills to feel better and the body tries even harder to hold on to this precious element. Eventually dehydration will set in, which could be life threatening.

A much better way to shed water weight is to sweat it out. You will also receive the benefits that come from exercise for meaningful weight loss.

Weight loss in Tyler, Texas: Learn portion control

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:33:05 +0000

It is quite possible that the number one cause for the obesity epidemic today has more to do with portion sizes and less to do with what the actual foods are. While it is true that fatty, processed foods are less healthy for us than fresh and natural choices, the problems arise when they are eaten in excess. A simple hamburger from the local Tyler, Texas fast food joint won’t have any lasting detrimental effects on its own. It is when the hamburger is made to be double or triple the normal serving size and consumed in conjunction with the largest side of fries available and a 36 ounce soft drink that people begin to experience weight gain.

Consume these portion sizes every day, several times a day and it won’t be long before you start noticing your clothes are getting a bit snug. Moderation is the key to maintaining a healthy weight. You do not have to dine on lettuce and carrots exclusively, nor should you. A healthy diet is not about deprivation as much as it is about moderation. Learn what a serving size it, how to measure it, and do not allow yourself to consume more than that.

Make the bulk of your Tyler, Texas diet unprocessed, healthy foods in portions appropriate for your body. When you do indulge, do it wisely and do not over indulge. There is no reason you can’t enjoy a fully loaded sundae every once in a while…just make it a small one and don’t make it a daily habit.

In Two Weeks I Have Eaten at Rib Masters Twice

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:26:48 +0000

For those who don’t know about Rib Masters in Whitehouse you have got to try this place out.

They are not hurting for business but every restaurant appreciates the avid fan telling everyone about their favorite place.

If you want some really fantastic ribs try them out. They are in Whitehouse on 110 on the right before you get to Brookshires.

Please comment with your opinion about Rib Masters. I expect you will also find them to be extremely good.

P.S. Don’t go there and get something besides ribs. Why do you think they call themselves “Rib Masters”?

Diet for Weight Loss in Tyler, Texas

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:55:54 +0000

Diet is important if you want to lose weight. You cannot realistically expect to eat fast food every day for lunch and notice anything but an increase in your size. The food choices you make have an impact on not only your size, but also your overall health. Learning how to adopt a healthy diet, however, can be difficult with all of the crash and fad diets lurking around Tyler, Texas.

Diet does not refer to a temporary change in eating habits for the purpose of weight loss, but rather to a lifestyle habit. The nutrition plan you adopt should be one that provides adequate nutrients to the body and is sustainable even after your weight loss goals have been met. Speak to your Tyler, Texas doctor or dietary specialist for expert help on finding the right balance of fats, carbs, proteins, and calories.

Plenty of information is also available on the internet, but you must be careful of sites promising unrealistic results. Doctors recommend a rate of weight loss of no more than 2 pounds a week for health. It is easy to lose water weight for a week or two, making a diet initially seem like it is working, but once the water weight is off the body enters starvation mode and holds on to fat even more.

Of course, a healthy diet will aid in weight loss, but to achieve tone you must also exercise. Start out by simply walking every day and build up from there.
