A Boy and His Cat . . .
When I won’t let Mister in my lap because I’m working on the computer, he’s usually pretty content to just lay at my feet, snoring the morning away. And, boy, does he snore. Sounds like a motorboat. As I’ve said before, he’s more like a dog than a cat.
About 11:30 Jan and I headed out for a couple of errands. After we dropped off a bag of garbage at the dumpsters, we stopped at the park office to pick up my Amazon order of the 3 LED light sets that I ordered, as well as a couple of new park access passes for both Nick and us, since the code changed this past Sunday.
Our final stop was the PO right down the road a couple of miles in Morris, which was closer than driving all the way into Batesville. We did have to wait about 15 minutes for the Postmistress to come back from lunch, but it was really nice sitting in the car with the windows down in this beautiful weather
Nick came over about 4:30 for a while, before we all headed over to Harrison, OH for dinner. Our place of choice for tonight was Buffalo Wild Wings.
I think the last time we ate at BWW together was a couple of years ago in Las Vegas, but it’s always been one of Jan and my favorite wing places. I like the fact that that they have a sweet-hot sauce as well as a really hot sauce. And lucky for us, tonight was 60 cent wing night, so instead of getting 10 wings for $9.99, I got 15 wings for $9.00. Nice!
I got my wings coated with Mango-Habanero, which is their 3rd hottest, but I really like the sweetness. But for more heat, I got a side of the Blazin’, their hottest sauce.
Jan got the boneless wings, coated in Asian Spice, along with a side of Hot, which is their 2nd hottest.
For their part, Nick got a split order of wings, half coated with Honey-Mustard and half with Honey BBQ. He said he liked the Honey BBQ better. And Terry got a Chicken Wrap that she said was very good.
As I’ve noticed before, the Blazin’ sauce is not as hot up here as down in Texas. And I’ve noticed the same thing at other places like Hooter’s.
Leaving BWW, we stopped off at Remko Market for a couple for grocery things before getting back to the park a little before 8.
Our high temp for the day was 69 degrees, with about the same tomorrow, which looks to be another Cincinnati tourist day, with Nick having several things lined up for us.

Mister Wants A Hammock . . .
Saw this video online and now Mister wants one of his own.

A few days ago I posted this amazing video of a quadcopter drone flying around and through a fireworks show. Here it is again if you missed it.
It was done in West Palm Beach, FL, but as I thought it wasn’t this past 4th of July, but back in May during West Palm Beach’s Sunfest..
And now the pilot is being investigating by the FAA because in flying through the fireworks, he may have flown too close to the airport. Of course the question is, how many planes would be flying through the fireworks, anyway, since the airspace had already been cleared for the show.
And it sounds like the guy lives in South Africa, anyway.

A little before 5 we headed out with Nick and Terry to have dinner at the Sherman House Restaurant in Batesville. We had hoped to eat here on Monday when we got to the park, but they’re closed on Mondays, so we went Mexican.
The Sherman House has been around since 1852 and has a great menu, including a lot of German specialties, as well as a really good salad bar. So we were really looking forward to it tonight.
But when we got to the restaurant, we found a large chalkboard out front that said, “Sorry for the Inconvenience. We closed at 4pm today.”
Bummer!
So we decided to try the nearby Chinese Buffet that had pretty good reviews.
THEY WERE WRONG! And I’m not going to say anymore about it.
We even tried to save the evening with a stop at Dairy Queen on the way home, and they got a coup;le of our orders wrong.
Maybe we should have just stayed home.
