84 cents a gallon . . .
First up this morning, I called Moen to order a new hose for my Renzo model kitchen faucet.
And as reader Ray McElhenry reminded me, with Moen’s lifetime warranty, they’re sending one out to me one free, and that includes shipping. Nice.
About 2:15 we headed out for the afternoon. Our first stop was the Home Depot about 5 miles down the road. Since I was getting the replacement hose from Moen, I don’t need the ‘Not So’ Universal, ‘Doesn’t’ Fit All Brands replacement hose any more and want to get my $27 back.
Then it was on to the Fry’s Electronics for a few things and also to check out possible new computers for a client. And of course it’s always fun to just walk around the place.
Then we headed back up to The Woodlands to have dinner at Grimaldi’s Pizzeria. We got there a few minutes after 4pm, which was perfect. Between 3 and 4pm, Grimaldi’s re-stokes their coal-fired pizza oven, so no pizzas until they’re done.
We had our usual order of a Small Salad which we split.
In fact it would easily feed 4 people,
And we had the large pizza with mushrooms, pepperoni, jalapenos, Italian sausage and meatballs.
By getting the large one, we have half of it left over to take home for later.
After a great meal, it was back up to Conroe for stops at Sam’s Club and Wal-Mart for a few things. Jan had planned to pick up a prescription at Sam’s, but it wasn’t ready because they didn’t have enough pills to fill it, so we’ll pick it up tomorrow afternoon.
Then it was on across the Interstate for the pleasant task of getting gas at the Kroger’s. And I say ‘pleasant’ because it cost me only 84.9 cents a gallon. That’s got to be pleasant.
Of course, that was because I’m still getting the $1 a gallon discount from our gift card purchase before Christmas. But even without the $1 discount, $1.849 is nothing to laugh at.
Tomorrow we’ll start wrapping up our two week stay here and get ready to move back to the Colorado River Thousand Trails on Wednesday.
