Gingerbread and El Bosque . . .
After several days of mid-70’s days and mid-60’s nights, winter has finally returned, with rain and low 50’s/ low 40’s temps.
The cooler weather is nice, but I could do without the rain, since I have more stuff that I want to work on outside, but I guess it’ll have to wait. It’s supposed to clear up toward the end of next week, but you never know.
Jan and I spent the day just goofing off, reading, watching TV, and playing on the computer, a very nice afternoon consisting of pretty much nothing.
About 3pm we headed out through the rain to have lupper at El Bosque, our favorite local Mexican place. We’ve eaten here a number of times and have always enjoyed it.
When we first starting eating here a couple of years ago they were located on Loop 336, across the street from the Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club. But when we returned here early last year we found they had moved to a new location on SR105, a couple of exits further south on I-45.
Jan went with the El Bosque Platter,
which has a little bit of everything, all very good, as she said.
I’ve always enjoyed their Chicken Tortilla Soup, although in El Bosque’s case, it’s more like Chicken Vegetable Soup, with Tortilla Chips.
But it’s spiced very well, and really good. And a big enough bowl that it really fills you up. For that reason I probably didn’t need the side of Charro Beans, but they were really good too.
Next up was the Home Depot right next door for a couple of things. I was mainly looking for some hooks that could be mounted to the floor of the truck to keep my floor mats from sliding around. I found something I think will work, but I’ll have to try it and see.
Then it was on to Wal-Mart for a few things. It wasn’t as busy as I thought it might be. In fact it wasn’t anymore busy than a normal Saturday. I guess everyone was resting up from yesterday.
The only thing that was busy was the Returns line at Customer Service. So are people already returning stuff they just bought yesterday?
I had something to return, but I’ll wait until another time.
Before I forget, I’ve received a couple of inquiries about the PORTER-CABLE 150 PSI Air Compressor that I’ve talked about. They wanted to know if they can use the 125psi model instead, since it’s a little cheaper.
The answer is No, not if you want to be able to air up the bigger RV tires, i.e. 110 to 120psi. The 125psi model will struggle to get much over 100 psi, while the 150psi one will go to 120 to 125psi with no problems.
Wrapping up, we’ve got some more family photos. First up is our nephew Jason and his family, his wife Laura, and their kiddos, Ella, Avery Jan, and Annisten.
And here’s another shot of the kids,
with Annisten, Avery Jane, and Ella.
Brandi, Lowell, and Landon are up in Oklahoma spending Thanksgiving with Lowell’s parents, where Landon is hard at work building a Gingerbread Farm House.
Looks like he’s making some headway.
Tomorrow looks to be another nice stay-at-rig day.
