Back To Work . . .
Jan and I have really been enjoying the cooler weather, with the door and windows open all day, and the AC’s not running.
For lunch we decided on the Chicken Fried Steak Strips and Fried Catfish Buffet at Barth’s once again. Normally we go around 1pm or so, but today we got there around 11:30. They’re always busy, but today they were really busy at this time. So much so, we had trouble finding a parking space, and a table inside, for that matter.
But as usual, it was worth the effort.
Coming home we stopped off at HEB for a few things, including a couple of their Pumpkin Pies. Regular readers know how much Jan likes anything pumpkin so this time of the year she’s in high cotton.
A couple of weeks ago we picked up one of Wal-Mart’s Pumpkin Pies, and we were both pretty disappointed. The crust was kind of doughy and the filling was pretty blah. Probably because the label said the first ingredient was WATER, with Pumpkin showing up second.
So when we were at HEB last week, we check out their version and found Pumpkin came up first in line. And it certainly made a big difference in the taste.
So we were back for more.
Getting back home, I used my new jigsaw to cut down the 1/4 piece of plywood to fit on my dolly platform. With that done, I went in to dig out my WORX driver so I could screw the new board onto the others.
But the battery was too low and I couldn’t at first find the charger. And by the time I did and I got it fully charged, it was really too late to go ahead and pull the washer out, since I didn’t want to leave it sitting in the middle of the kitchen overnight if I didn’t really have to.
So the repair is now pushed back to tomorrow.
Our water pressure has really slacked off in the last few days, so I figured it was time for replace our Camco filter element. And it was definitely needed replacing.
The new one is bright white.
And checking after I swapped the cartridges out, the water pressure was back to normal.
Todd called this afternoon and I’ve got another gate starting Sunday night. Well, actually it’s the same gate I was on last week, but this time it’s on night shift, from 6:30pm to 6:30am. My favorite shift.
After a number of requests, I’ve posted yesterday’s Jan’s Chicken Vegetable Soup recipe under the Jan’s Favorite Recipes tab.
Get it try.
It’s got a secret ingredient.
