Road Trip!
And it’s going to be a Four’fer.
And in case you’re counting, that’s two, count’em, two, Two’fer’s.
First up, we’re driving up to Waco on Thursday morning to have lunch with our long-time friend’s, Bill and Carol Alverson.
Bill and I both worked for the Alabama Educational Television Network back in the early 70’s, as well as for a local radio station, as Broadcast Engineers. And we’ve kept in touch ever since, as well as visiting with them several time when we were back in Alabama.
That’s One.
After spending Thursday night there, on Friday it’s something on Jan’s Bucket List, and that is checking out the Silo’s and Magnolia Market area from Chip and Joanna Gaines of TV’s Fixer Upper fame. Hopefully we’ll be able to have breakfast at their Magnolia Table Brunch place, even if we have to wait in line.
That’s Two.
Then coming back toward home, we’ll take a detour over to the Marble Falls/Kingsland area to meet up with Chris, Linda, and Miss Piper for dinner, hopefully at the Kempner Brick Over, a great local German place.
That’s Three.
And after spending the night in Marble Falls, and having breakfast with the kids the next morning, we we’ll head on down to Katy and meet up with Brandi, Lowell, and Landon for a late lunch before finally heading home Saturday evening.
And that’s Four.
And it also completes Jan’s Big Three Trifecta, with Paula Deen’s place, Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Women’s place, and now, Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Market.
Since I haven’t had a chance to get the truck’s brakes and plugs working yet, we’re going to pick up a rental car from Enterprise Wednesday afternoon.
Hopefully an Impala, and not a Hyundai Tucson like last time.
Thought for the Day:
If my body is ever found on a jogging trail, just know that I was murdered somewhere else and dumped there.

A Nice Stay-at-Home Day . . .
I just posted the next installment of our European Cruise, Scenic Cruising The Rhine, our All Castles, All The Time edition.
Check it out.
As I’d hoped, today was a nice stay-at-home day. The only excitement was when Jan was fixing dinner, using both the toaster oven and the microwave, and the 50 amp breaker on the pedestal blew.
We’ve done this plenty of times before with no problems, but I did notice that the breaker itself was very hot when I went to reset it.
We also had one die a couple of years ago, so I’ll keep a eye on this one, and maybe tell the park owner about it if it pops again.
I spent a good part of the day going over the new company website, making small changes here and there, fine tuning it, so to speak. I also went on Godaddy and set up and configured the Automatic Backups and purchased the Website Security package.
At the same time I’ve got data recovery software running on the old website Linux hard drive, trying to at least recover the database and the image files folder for the tattoo site. Otherwise I’ll have to re-enter it all from scratch.
Hope not.
Not sure yet about my schedule this week, since we may be traveling up to Waco on Thursday, but I would like to get the rear brakes done on the truck, and also change out the spark plugs.
But what ever happens, we’ll almost certainly rent a car for the trip.
I mentioned yesterday that my BPPV had returned, and as I thought, it’s gradually fading away just like last time. When I got up this morning, it was just like a really good carnival ride for a few seconds and then it was gone.
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Thought for the Day:
I thought this photo was really interesting, showing a lightning bolt hitting the ocean. Don’t know how he got that shoe. Maybe just luck.
