Whipsawed . . .
Work today was pretty busy, which is nice because the time passes quicker. Otherwise I get bored. And as Jan will tell you, I don’t do nothing well.
Then I tend to wander off and get in trouble. You can count on it.
Tomorrow we’ve got a lunch get-together with our Alvin Opry bunch, and at Saltgrass Steakhouse for the 2nd time this week. But at the one in Webster this time.
Then Friday we’re looking forward to Season 4 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime. This season will be 8 episodes, with two new ones dropping each week.
And as I mentioned a few blogs back, The Orville is coming back for the 3rd season. But its premiere date has changed. Originally it was going to be March 10th,but it’s now been pushed back to June 2nd.
Oh well.
Tomorrow’s also going to be one of those typical winter days in Texas, with a high of 80° and a low of 37. That’s a 43° temperature swing in one day.
Nothing like getting whipsawed.
So far the Jeep is working great after the recent repair, and it looks like the O2 sensor replacement has fixed my loss of gas mileage problem.
Thought For The Day:
Overwhelmingly superior firepower and the willingness to use it is the only proven peace solution.

Scenic Views . . .
We had lunch today at Twin Peaks once again, but something different this time, rather than our usual.
Jan had been wanting to try their wings, but didn’t want a whole order of 6. So she had 4 and I had 2.
In addition, she got a side salad and a cup of the Tomato Basil soup, while I got a bowl of their Green Chile Chicken soup.
Sylvia, our regular waitress, saw us come in and was already getting our drinks together when we were seated.
Since TP wasn’t really busy, we got a chance to spend a little time talking to Sylvia. A very nice young lady.
After lunch we had planned to make a WalMart/Sam’s Club stop, but when we came out it had started to rain so we called it a day.
Looks like I’m going have to find a new storage room. We’ve had a climate-controlled 10’ x 20’ with the Extra Space Storage location over on FM517 since 2018 with no problems. They did jump the cost last year $20 from $132 to $152, the first increase in our time there.
But then a few weeks ago I got a post card from them saying they were jumping the rent from $152 to $232 per month. WOW!
That’s a $80 bump, or more than a 53% increase!
I’m going to double check with them tomorrow to be sure it’s not a mistake, but otherwise we’ll be moving on. There’s a Public Storage location about 1 mile or so away that looks to be much more reasonably priced.
Tomorrow it’s back to work after I was off for my doctor’s appointment yesterday.
Thought For The Day:
A woman’s anger is like a check engine light. There is no way to figure out why it came on. Just ignore it and hope it goes away.
