She Can See Clearly Now . . .
I was at the auto repair place at 8am this morning. Unfortunately, I didn’t ask the right question yesterday when I ask what time they open. I should have ask what time they could get started on my truck.
Instead I showed up at 8am, and they finally opened at about 8:20. Then I found out the mechanic didn’t show up until 9. And after he had his coffee and donuts, he finally got to work about 9:30
I could have slept another hour and a half!
Plus, to make things even better, the heater had gone out in the shop and the waiting area, so inside it wasn’t much warmer than the 38 degrees it was outside.
Finally heading home, I had the heater in the truck running full blast trying to get warm, and didn’t get the chill off until I got back to the rig.
A little later, Jan and I headed out for some errands, but first up was dinner at the new Quaker Steak and Lube down in the Victory Lakes area. Before this, we’ve only encountered Quaker Steak up north, so we were happy to find one down in this area now.
After our meal, we drove up to the Sam’s Club on El Dorado to pick up Jan’s new glasses, and drop off the prescriptions we got yesterday at the doctor’s. A few of them we want now, but most of them we just wanted in the system so we can pick them as we travel.
Jan was really happy to get her new glasses since the coating was coming off her old ones, making it hard to see.
Wrapping up, it’s hard to believe that we only have 4 more days here before we leave for Tucson this coming Sunday.
And so much to still do.

Clean Bill(s) of Health . . .
Jan and I headed up to Friendswood about 8am for our last two doctor’s appointments, this time just for our annual physicals. We got called in within just a few minutes of each other and were both out by 11. Our doctor, we both have the same one, gave us both clean bills of health, so we’re set to go for another year.
Since we had to fast for our lab tests, our next stop was breakfast at The Egg and I. Love their food, and especially their Hazelnut coffee. It was nice to just be able to sit and talk about our upcoming plans, and not still have any medical issues hanging over us.
Heading out, we stopped off at our son Chris’ to check on something before ending up back in Webster to talk to my mechanic about some work I want to have done tomorrow morning. I want to get in first so I can get out quickly, so I’ll be there at 8am tomorrow morning. Yuck!
Finally heading back toward the rig, we stopped off at the Dunkin’ Donuts in League City for coffee and Munchkins to go. Then our last stop was the Wal-Mart in Kemah for stuff before finally getting home about 2pm
Although the high was 75 yesterday, it was 46 today, with 37 tonight. Not very conducive to working outside on the rig, so all that’s on hold for now.
Got a call from Sam’s Club that Jan’s new glasses came in so we’ll pick those up tomorrow, and also drop off our prescriptions while we’re there. We don’t have the doctor send them over because they’ll automatically fill them, and we don’t need anything right now. We just want to get them in the system so we can fill them on the road as we travel.
