Up Too Early . . .

especially on a non-travel day. But for friends, I guess it’s doable.

So I was up at 9:30 and, bringing my coffee with me, Jan and I walked over to Chris and Charles Yust’s rig to work on updating their website, C and C RV Insurance. We were trying to finish up so they could get back on the road in the 12 – 1 time frame. But, while I was trying to get Charles’ W10 laptop on the local homegroup so he could share the printers connected to Chris’ W7 laptop, she was so busy taking care of insurance customers that we didn’t get enough done so they finally decided to stay over another night here. It also helped them avoid all the heavy rain still pounding the LA/MS area. So it was a win-win.

And actually it was a win-win-win, because that meant that we’d get to go out to dinner with Chris and Charles again.

Back at our rig, Jan spent the afternoon Kindling and napping, while I worked on website stuff that we’d already gone over, updating and  adding things. Then a little later, Jim Dean came by to say they were back in the park for three weeks, so I invited him and Peri to join Chris, Charles, and Jan and I at Peter’s BBQ this evening.

Wal all headed up to Peter’s about 6pm, and as seems par for the course, we didn’t leave until they locked the door behind us at 9. And as it turns out, Jim and Peri, and Chris and Charles, grew up in same area, and had a lot for fun talking over old times and places.

We all ended up have the new special, the $9.95 Catfish and Shrimp buffet, which was really good, and somewhat cheaper than the BBQ version.

On another note, everybody’s favorite convenience store, Buc-ee;’s, is spreading out. And out of Texas, too. On Wednesday, our son-in-law Lowell send over this Houston Business Journal article about a new Buc-ee’s opening in Baton Rouge in early 2017.

And that’s not all. They’ll soon be opening their first north Texas location in Terrell, just southeast of downtown Dallas. And on a local note, they’ll soon start construction on a Katy, TX location, on the north side of I-10, just east of the Camping World. A perfect stop for Jan and I on our way to Brandi and Lowell’s.

Wrapping up, John Huggins, of Living the RV Dream fame, who along with his wife Kathy also do a great series of RV-related podcasts, left a blog comment saying that all TT parks are now Passport America, as well as open to the public.

Thought for the Day:

I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don’t even invite me. – Dave Barry
