After a nice, slow morning, Jan and I headed out a little before 2pm for lunch and errands. Or errands and lunch. Or more like, an errand, lunch, and more errands.

Our first stop was over in Willis to pick up my pants and our Alaskan coat at the alteration place. I had my FRC jeans from our gate guarding hemmed and our Alaskan coat repaired.

We never had time to get the pants hemmed because we bought them at the Cavenders in Huntsville, and then started on the new gate later that afternoon. So we just kind of let them bunch up at our ankles.

that did such a great job keeping us warm on the gate had a couple of seams coming open under the arms so we wanted to get that repaired too.

Finishing up. we headed about 15 miles down I-45 to the Red Robin located at The Woodlands. Jan and I have been wanting a good burger, and it’s hard to do better than Red Robin. And of course there’s the Bottomless Fries.

Jan got her usual Shroom Burger with Cheddar Cheese, but I went with something a little different this time, the Big Sky Burger.

Red Robin Big Sky Burger

I normally do something like their Burnin’ Love Burger with the Ghost Pepper Sauce, but the Big Sky Burger has a 1/2 pound blackened Black Angus beef patty, topped with crispy bacon, onions drizzled in Sriracha sauce, goat cheese crumbles, arugula and roasted garlic aioli served on a toasted ciabatta bun.

With the aioli and the arugula, it was a little more froo-froo than my usual choices, but the picture in the menu convinced me to try it.

And I was really glad I did. A really great burger. And did I mention the Bottomless Fries?

Finishing our meal, we drove across the Interstate and down the road to The Container Store, one of our favorite places. We both enjoy just walking up and down the rows, checking out all the neat storage ideas and gadgets. We always find something we want, but not necessarily need, but then that’s the fun of the place.

Heading home,we made a quick Kroger’s stop before getting home about 5 pm.

Another nice day.

Tomorrow, I’m going to do some stuff around the rig before we head over to the Colorado River TT on Wednesday.
