Bearteeth and Landstars . . .

After our coffee and cereal this morning, it was back to the ole grind, as in reading and watching TV for Jan, and playing on the Internet for me. Isn’t retirement great?

But of course I did do some actual work, adding more stuff to son-in-law Lowell’s new website, Lowell’s Logistics. Got his twitter account online and the quote forms up and working. I also posted a neat video that describes what Landstar does.

Later in the afternoon Jan took all my shirts out of the closet and got me to go through them, throwing out ones I didn’t want any more. Of course I know it was all just an artful ruse to give her more room in the closet at my expense.

For dinner tonight Jan fixed chips and onion dip, and DiGiorno Pizza. This is the first time we’ve tried the cheese-in-the-crust version, and it was really good. Of course, Jan spices it up by adding sliced mushrooms for some extra oomph.

A few days ago someone posted a photo of the snowed-in Beartooth Highway.

The article said that they’ve finally started clearing the snow pack from the Beartooth.

We drove the Beartooth with our friends Al and Adrienne Cox in July of 2011. But in the summer it’s a little greener.

And if you look very carefully, you can pick out the name-sake peak in the distance.

And zooming in, gives you a better look. Looks like a bear tooth to me.

We even visited Red Lodge and checked out a bank where on September 18, 1897, the Sundance Kid, Kid Curry, and others of the Wild Bunch attempted “to make an unauthorized withdrawal from the Carbon County Bank.”

Check it out.

Passing The Torch…y

After coffee I spent the afternoon going over some website stuff with Lowell, talking about changes, upgrades, and additions to his new website, at Lowell’s Logistics.

About 4pm Jan and I headed down to The Woodlands to have dinner at the new Torchy’s Tacos there. We’ve eaten at the one in Katy several times with Brandi, Lowell,and Landon, But it’s our first time for this one, since it only opened a couple of months ago.

And as usual, it was delicious.

Jan had the Trailer Park Taco with Fried Chicken strips, and the Jamaican Jerked Chicken Taco, both her favorites.

I had my usual Grilled Jalapeno Sausage and the Green Chile Pork, both really good.

Torchy’s actually started as a Food Truck operation, but now has grown to over 40 stores, and one visit will tell you why.

There’s also a new Torchy’s opening soon at the Baybrook Mall, down in our old stomping grounds, so we’ll have to try that one soon too. You can’t have too much Torchy’s.

As we were leaving, we noticed this motorcycle in the parking lot just as the owner came out. Jan asked him if the seat was comfortable, and he said it was. Also said it was a Franken-Bike. He started out with the engine from an old  Honda 750 and combined it with a bunch of junkyard parts from a lot of different bikes.

He described it as a “Work in Progress”, and it looks like it.

Getting back to the Conroe area we made a quick Wal-Mart stop to drop off some prescriptions, and pick up a couple of things from the grocery section.

Tomorrow, maybe a movie.
