Perfect On A Cold Day . . .
Sunday is probably our favorite day for Gators’ Bar & Grill since they have a number of brunch specials, but this time we just got a couple of our old favorites.
Jan got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with a Keto bun and Waffle Sweet Potato Fries,
while I got their made-in-house Loaded Baked Potato Soup.
And we had to finish off the meal with a couple of their delicious Keto Blueberry Muffins.
Heated, with a couple of pats of butter. Perfect on a cold day.
Next up was a Home Depot stop, before ending up at HEB for a few things.
Then, once we got back at the rig, we headed back out with Jan following me in the Jeep. We were dropping it off at my mechanic’s so he hopefully can get a start on it tomorrow.
I mentioned before how my alternator problem had started out intermittently, before it seemed to go out completely this past Thursday. But of course, the alternator was working fine driving up to the shop. Hopefully Joe will be able to track it down.
I also want him to take a look at an O2 Sensor code I’m getting, which I think is cut my gas mileage.
We’ll see, I guess.

Our New Addiction . . .
As I had hoped, while our Dodge Dakota didn’t want to run at 28°, it started up and ran just fine this morning at 42°, so we were on our way to lunch at Los Ramirez Mexican by about 1pm.
We’ve eaten here long enough and are well enough known to the servers, that they already know what we’re going to order, though they do double check just in case.
Jan always gets the Pechuga Rellena, with a large chicken breast, shrimp and broccoli, all covered in cheese.
My favorite is the Beef Fajita Taco Salad with the guac on the side for Jan.
All delicious, as always.
Then after a stop at our store room to pick up another space heater that we got after last February’s big freeze. We ordered a couple of these.
When the temps never get out of the high 20’s, like it has been the last day or so, our two regular heaters have trouble keeping up. So we’ll add a 3rd one to help out when we need it.
Then after a WalMart Stop, we were home by about 3:30.
A very nice day.
We’re really glad that some of our favorite streaming shows are coming back.
Resident Alien started back up a couple of weeks ago, with Mrs. Maisel coming back to Amazon on February 18th. Then February 28th Murdoch Mysteries finally comes back to Acorn TV here in the US. And after being away since April 2019, the much-delayed 3rd season of The Orville comes to Hulu on March 10th.
Looking forward to all the new episodes.
A month or so ago Jan stumbled across a YouTube channel called MyLittleHomestead. It’s about a family with 4 kids who are building a homestead in Arizona. They repurpose things in very innovative ways, and construct most buildings, etc., by hand with earthbags, stucco, and concrete. They’ve be posting videos about their life for over ten years with more than 328 videos online, and it’s fun to watch the kids grow up. It’s become our new addiction. They also have a website at https://mylittlehomestead.com/
Check it out for yourself. You’ll be hooked too.
