Opry and IHOP. . .
We left the rig about 9:30 am heading over to our daughter Brandi’s so Jan could Landon-sit while Brandi got her hair done. On the way we stop off at Buc-ee’s for a couple of their great half-coffee/half-cappuccinos.
Dropping Jan off at Brandi’s, I drove over to Discount Tires to get new tires for the truck. (See Nick. The old ones lasted until I got home. Told you so.) I ended up at Discount Tires rather than NTB after a tip from our friend George Stoltz. I saved over $100 plus a $60 mail-in rebate.
After the new tires, I headed over to a computer client’s to start try to fix all the things they broke during the 7 months I’ve been gone.
Picking up Jan about 2:30 we stopped off at Walmart and Sam’s Club to pick up some things before getting home about 4 pm.
After a nap we we headed out about 6:15 to Monterey’s Little Mexico in Dickinson for a quick bowl of tortilla soup before driving over to the Alvin Opry in Alvin, TX. The Alvin Opry is a regional country/western opry with a great house band, and singers as good as any on the Grand Ole Opry.
Leaving the Opry about 11pm a bunch of us stopped off at a nearby IHOP for some good coffee and conversation before heading home, finally arriving at the rig a little after 1 am.
Long day. More tomorrow…
