On Further Consideration . . .
After I posted yesterday’s blog about my Mighty Mule problem, I decided to forget about talking to the company and just let Amazon handle things. So in about 90 seconds I had my refund scheduled (They said it will be 2-3 days til it shows up), and had my new Mule on the way, along with a few other things sitting in my cart waiting for my next order. Everything should be here Thursday.
Later on, several readers suggested I do the same thing. Great minds think alike.
I headed into Carthage a little after 11am, planning to drop off our garbage at the trash trailer at the new frack site right up the road on the way. But that didn’t work out too well because there was no trash trailer there. But then we didn’t have one here for the prep work, but only after the frack actually started. And they’re obviously still not ready to frack here.
The gate guard at the other site asked me to bring her a loaf of bread when I asked if she needed anything. so it was off into town.
Normally this would have been just a lunch run, but I forgot to stock up on my Lipton’s Diet Citrus Green Tea last Friday when I was at Wal-Mart. Plus Jan needed more bottled water and I needed printer paper too. So I made a quick Wally stop before picking up lunch at Whataburger. We’ve been going there so often that the counter guy just about knows our order by heart. I even have it in my phone so I don’t forget and leave something off.
TO GO ORDER
2 Apple Pies
Jan’s Whataburger Jr. Large Combo
With only:
Cheese
Ketchup
Mustard
Tomatoes
Grilled OnionsMy Whataburger Jr.
With only:
Cheese
Bacon
Tomatoes
Pickles
Raw Onions
Mayo on both bunsLarge Drink
We get one large combo and then share the fries, and I get my own drink. I order the pies first, so I don’t forget them, and sometimes they have to cook themmup fresh, so this gives them a head-start. We normally have the pies for breakfast the next morning after Jan heats them up again. I also stock up on the containers of Spicy Ketchup for our fries, and I get one of their Green Salsa ones to put on my burger. I really like that they have the little containers of this stuff and not the squeeze packets. Not matter where you squeeze them out, it’s going to be a mess.
I saw on Facebook yesterday that someone’s new favorite meal at Whataburger is their Chicken Fajita Tacos. I’m sorry, but that’s just wrong.
You don’t got to Red Lobster and order steak. You don’t go to Longhorn Steakhouse and order seafood. And you don’t go to Whataburger and order tacos. It’s Whata’burger’, not Whata’taco. And for good reason.
Let’s straighten up out there, people! LOL
One of the things I ordered from Amazon was another of those great KJL Cree LED 900 lumens Flashlights .
I only ordered one at the time, and my friend Nick Russell has already lost one of the three he ordered, so I didn’t want to take a chance with my only one.
One thing I noticed is that between all the ones sold through my blog, and all the ones Nick sold through his blog, Amazon’s pricing algorithms detected a run on them. And as I’ve seen before, they jacked the price up $1, from $8.99 to $9.99.
I’ve noticed this with several other items I’ve mentioned in the blog, like the super-strong magnets, and the LED strip lights to replace the small fluorescent tubes in our rig.
So get in while you can before the price goes up again.
