So Off We Go.
Jan wanted to have breakfast this morning so we were off to Denny’s about 10am to use one of our Texas Renaissance- related Gift Cards. One thing that quickly caught my eye on the menu was their new Honey Jalapeno Bacon, so I got the Honey Jalapeno Bacon Slam, and Jan got the Blueberry Pancake Slam.
Really good, except we both agreed that my coffee is better. Too bad they frown on you bringing your own refreshments in with you.
After breakfast we drove across the Interstate to Sam’s Club to drop off my old battery and get my $18 core charge back. Leaving, and heading next door to the Wal-Mart, I checked the Sam’s gas price and found it was cheaper at the Kroger’s back across I-45, so I’ll wait for later.
While we were at Wal-Mart, I found this beautiful 56 T-Bird parked right beside us. Really nice, especially since it’s driven every day.
At Wal-Mart, Jan stocked up on supplies, both, in case we get a gate soon, and since the Wal-Mart’s in the Columbus area aren’t stocked as well as the one here in Conroe.
About 2:15 I got a call from Cole Scates at Sitewatch to talk about a gate guarding job. He doesn’t seem to have anything in this area, but does probably have gates in Oklahoma and south Texas, down in the Kenedy/Karnes City area. In other words, where we were on gates in 2012 and 2013.
The only problem is that most of what he seems to have available are ‘guard shack’ jobs, and I’m not real crazy about that idea. Besides the extra cost of an RV park (although I understand that some gates reimburse your park fees, or at least give you a ‘stipend’ of some sort), it seems like you’re working 12 hr. shifts each, which Jan and I really don’t want to do.
Cole wanted me to give the guy in charge of Oklahoma a call, which I will tomorrow. So we’ll see how it works out.
About 4pm Jan and I headed out to Texas Roadhouse for a going-away steak dinner. Jan got a 16oz Top Sirloin, and I got my usual 16oz Ft Worth Ribeye.
After a good meal, and a quick stop at the nearby Kroger’s for gas, we headed home for the night.
Later, I spent some time packing stuff away for our move tomorrow over to Colorado River for two weeks, or a gate.
Or whichever comes first.
Thought for the Day:
Ever wonder who the genius is who decided to put fire hydrants in all the good parking spots?
