Hazelnut Coffee and Pumpkin Pie . . .
We enjoyed a nice, quiet, gloomy, rainy morning with our Hazelnut coffee topped with whipped cream. Just perfect for this time of year.
And of course Miss Karma gets her share too. The whipped cream, not the coffee.
Then about 1:15pm we headed out, first for the Chicken Fried Steak/Fried Catfish lunch buffet at Barth’s. Really good as usual, along with Hushpuppies and Fried Okra. They also had Mac N Cheese and Pinto Beans, but I’d rather fill up on steak and catfish and not beans and mac n cheese.
Then it was off about 10 miles north to check out the location of the new site that I’ll be working for two days starting tomorrow morning at 5:30am. I’d rather have problems finding it today, and not tomorrow morning in the dark.
Last night I had checked out the location on Google Maps aerial and then grabbed the GPS coords to enter in my GPS. And, this time at least, the GPS took me right to the correct gate.
BTW I learned a trick with Google Maps a while back that I thought I’d pass on. Of course it’s very possible that everyone else already knows this, but I’ll pass it on anyway.
I regularly get directions to find a certain FM (Farm To Market) road or a CR (County Road) leading to a gate. And if you have no idea where to start, it can be a pain tracking it down. But if you just go to the general area in Google Maps and type in the road name, i.e. CR 169 or FM1353, it will take you right to the road.
A Big Help.
On the way home we made a Wal-Mart stop for a few things. Strangely, it’s always just for a ‘few things’, but it never seems to end up that way. In fact before we left the rig today, Jan was working on her list and I noticed she had two different pieces of paper. When I asked her why, she said, “Well, this one is today’s list, and this one is next week’s list.”
So that’s the problem. Too many lists.
Last up was a quick stop at HEB for a Pumpkin Pie refill.
Finishing up, I thought I’d give you an update review on the
iKross 2-in-1 Tablet and Cellphone Extended Cup Mount Holder
that I got from Amazon on Black Friday.
I got a chance to try it out on our San Antonio Trip yesterday, and I really like it. It’s very sturdy and locks into the cupholder very tightly and will not come out until you release it.
It works both with my tablet to run Waze
and my cellphone to find local places.
And it even makes a great hat rack.
A Triple Threat.

1) gun beats no gun
2) fast beats slow
3) a hit beats a miss
4) big holes beat little holes
5) two holes beat one hole
