Braving The Ravaging Horde . . .
Or Not.
While I’m waiting on the Thursday morning delivery of our new Rubbermaid Shed, I’ll try to get a plywood base set up on some concrete pavers. Otherwise the plastic flooring of the shed would probably get punctured by the gravel underneath over time.
I’ve already download a copy of the Rubbermaid Roughneck Shed Assembly Manual so I’ll try to get started with assembling whatever I can before Jan gets back home.
About 1pm Jan and I headed out to lunch at our favorite Los Ramirez Mexican Restaurant. Jan got her usual Pechuga Rellena, with Grilled Shrimp and Broccoli,
while I got my new fav, the Spicy Chicken Fajitas with Charro Beans.
The salad is self-made. Jan doesn’t like all the shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes that comes with her dish, so I take it, add the Pico de Gallo that comes with my meal, and then dress it will their Green Sauce. Makes a really good salad.
And with the salad and the Charro Beans to fill up on, I had more than half of the fajitas to take home.
Next up was a truck wash at the Blue Ocean Car Wash. Really like them, since they do a great job getting the grunge off the truck. Then it was right across the street to see if our local WalMart had been stripped bare yet.
And the answer was Yes and No.
We started in the Pharmacy area and found the Cold Medicine/Cough Syrup area pretty much bare, as well as the Vitamin area to a lesser extent. Then moving over to the Grocery area, the ravaging horde made themselves known.
The Orange Juice area,
and the Dairy area,
were all stripped bare.
And for some reason, although the Soft Drink area was still pretty well stocked, my favorite Lipton Green Tea area was almost bare,
leaving me only the Mixed Berry version which is not my favorite.
But what was really weird was the run on Coffee Filters. All the brown unbleached ones were completely gone, and only one pack of the white ones was left. Which I got.
As I was typing this, I was trying to figure out why the run on filters and not coffee. And then it made sense.
They’re for backup toilet paper. Makes sense to me.
Tomorrow Jan’s coming into work with me so we can leave from there to take her up to Brandi’s for her next week of Landon-watching. She’ll probably hang out at the Harris County Library for the day before we head out about 3pm.
Once we’re up there we plan on stopping off at the local Chick Fil A for some Grilled Nuggets before I drop her off at Brandi’s and then head back to the rig.
Thought For The Day:
You ever notice how some people aren’t happy UNTIL you’re not happy.
