Catching A Snooze . . .
Well, the brakes didn’t get done, and for a good reason. I really didn’t want to. But the excuse I’m going with was that Jan had a lot of stuff she wanted to do this afternoon and I didn’t want to have a problem and mess up what she wanted to do.
And I really didn’t want to.
So we headed out a little after 1pm with our first stop at SnoozeAM for a late breakfast. While Jan went with her usual Bravocado Toast,
I detoured from my usual 3 eggs, 3 bacon, English Muffin, and Fruit and went with the Shrimp & Grits.
And fruit.
Then it was on over to the nearby HEB for a refill on our favorite Lola Savannah coffees, their Texas Pecan and Vanilla Cinnamon Pecan. It only comes in Whole Bean and it’s easy to see that it’s really ‘Pecan’ since there are pieces of pecan right in with the beans.
And the cashiers at the checkout always comments on how good it smells.
Then it was on to WalMart for some more stocking up for her upcoming pet-sitting job up at Brandi’s starting this coming Thursday.
Done there we drove over to her favorite nail place to get her tootsies done, before we headed home about 5pm.
I recently saw another T-Shirt I just had to have.
For some reason Jan says it’s typecasting.
Now that’s just mean.
Probably true. But still just mean.
But the T-Shirt I get the most comments on from people is this one.
Some people think it’s from Game of Thrones, but having never watched GoT, I don’t know.

Top This . . .
Work was finally back to normal today, since Jennifer was back on duty. Of course it took most of the morning for Dr. Heimlich and myself to try to explain all the weird stuff we had left for her to try and straighten out.
But by the afternoon she had it all sorted out and was back on track.
I meant to post a photo of the old spark plug that I finally got out yesterday, but here it is now.
I’m not really sure what happened here but the first two or three threads are just gone. It sure doesn’t look like it’s cross-threaded, at least not in a way I’ve seen before. So maybe one of our intrepid readers has an idea.
The new plug went back in just about as hard as the old one came out. But when I drove it back and forth to work today it was running a lot better. Not perfectly, still a little rough, but much better.
It’s been a good while since I shot a heli-coil, but I’m going to see how the truck runs over the next few weeks before I go that far.
So tomorrow, if it doesn’t rain, it’s on to the brakes.
Looks like starting this Thursday Karma and I are going to be on our own for about 10 days. Thursday afternoon I’m taking Jan up to Brandi’s for about 10 days so she doggie/kitty-sit while Brandi, Lowell, and Landon are down in Costa Rica.
It’s Landon’s first trip out of the country so he’s excited to have his own passport now.
Jan and I are in the market for a new 4” Foam Mattress Topper for our Queen size bed. We’ve had this one for about 5 years and it’s showing its age.
But the main reason I want to change out is that I’m looking for something cooler, and I’d prefer something I can get from Amazon. Easier to return if I don’t like it.
So I’m open to any blog reader recommendations. Bring it on.
