The Little Cart . . .
Was up about 10 am this morning to a bright sunny day, much better than yesterday’s pouring rain.
After coffee and cinnamon bagels for breakfast, I spent the rest of the morning working on client Internet stuff.
Then after lunch I headed out to start soliciting door prizes for the Eastern Gypsy Journal Rally. I’ve got a list of the places that donated two years ago so that gives me a start.
While I was out and about, I stopped by a local O’Reilly’s Auto Parts to see if they had some #53 bulbs. These are used in the floor lights in our rig, and they are apparently hard to find, since I had tried 3 or 4 other places with no luck. But when I checked online, O’Reilly’s had them in their catalog, so I was hoping the store would too. And they did, so I bought all 4 they had.
I hit about 8 places, got gift coupons from 1, and ‘Come back in the next couple of days” at the others.
Got home about 5 and about 5:30, Nick and Terry, Jan and I, and Chris Yust headed into town to have dinner at La Carreta, a favorite local Mexican place of ours. Charles, Chris’ husband was a little under weather so he stayed home. He missed a great time. Jan and I both enjoyed our meal, but not, apparently, Nick and Terry’. I don’t think either one were happy with their meal.
But as usual, we sat there for over an hour just talking and laughing, and having a good time.
We got home about 7:30, just in time for more TV premieres.

Rainy Day Monday . . .
The rain started about 8 this morning and continued pretty much all day. It’s a shame we cant’ send some of it down south to Texas. They could really use it.
With a big pot of coffee, along with some of Miss Terry’s great muffins and bread, we spent some time just sitting back and enjoying the sound of the rain on the roof.
After Jan fixed lunch, I shut off shore power for a while so I could redo some of the wiring around the transfer switch and the inverter to make it easier to remove to work on.
Later in the afternoon Charlie and Chris Yust pulled into the fairgrounds and parked behind us.
About 5:45 Nick and Terry, Charlie and Chris, and Jan and I all headed over to the China Wok Buffet (Yes, we ate there last night. It’s good.) for dinner. Luckily they put us in a room by ourselves. We got a little rowdy, what can I say?
After dinner, Jan and I headed over to Wal-Mart for some groceries. We didn’t dawdle because we wanted to be home by 8 to see the Monday night TV show premiers, and we just made it in time.
Tomorrow I’ll probably hit the streets to start soliciting door prizes for the rally. It starts a week from today, so I’ve got to get moving on it.
