They come warm to the touch and lightly salted........ They are almost better than the burger... We hung out drinking diet cokes and watching TV, as it was still late afternoon... When the evening crowd began to arrive, we headed on out...
Since we were over by I 10 on Warner Road, we only had just a few miles to make it to Sky Harbor airport.... Of course I 10 was at walk speed... But we were three hours early for his flight, so it didn't matter.... He's a retired corporate pilot, so he's used to hanging out at the airport and he had his book reader as well....
Later that night I got a message that Des Moines was at 12 degrees when he landed....Eww.....
The next morning, my other friend Roger that is staying with his wife down in the Tucson area, called me that he was coming up to get some work done on his car.. We have a foreign car repair facility that isn't the dealership or factory approved here in Mesa... Of course it is much more economical for the same work...
Roger wasn't certain that they could do his work in a day, so he packed a bag... After dropping off the car, we ended up at the Bass Pro Shop's attached restaurant.. Islamorada Fish Company or something like that...
Loyce and I used to go there because she enjoyed seafood so much.... So Roger and I enjoyed a nice meal of seafood.... We laughed afterwords that we couldn't remember the names of the fish we had ordered....
And when we got back to the car repair shop, they had finished the work so Roger could go back to Tucson... Seems they had the correct parts in stock.... The car company won't sell them parts directly, so they have to order them from a sympathetic dealer over in California.... That means they have a lot of stuff in stock...
Today, Thursday, I spent most of the day doing domestic chores running the washer until I ran out of soap... So late in the day, I was over at Wal Mart buying soap and fabric softener... That stuff is higher priced than gas and oil...! But the day was nice!

| Our days here have been beyond nice per the Jeep's display.. |
Sometime in the afternoon, I learned that Roger and his wife will be up here during the weekend and plan on stopping by... So I am looking forward to their visit....
Oh, poor ole Biscuit managed to let me catch her this afternoon, and found her way into the bath tub.... She doesn't enjoy the process, but she seems really content to be clean once its over..
When she is dirty, she incessantly licks herself all over trying to be clean.... But after her bath, she seems to stop that practice and sleeps contently... That is how I know she is happy being clean..

Wow--you've had lots of company. It sounds as if you enjoy that. All the meals out are nice too. Your pup sounds like ours--she doesn't like a bath & when it's finished she runs out & rolls in the grass. Guess she wants to get those outdoor smells on her again! Take good care, Rod.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your guests--it helps!! Our daughter-in-law and son have three dogs--two of them are tiny little lap dogs and you can just tell how much they miss their mom and her lap--I gave them lots of cuddles yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced that dogs miss the people in their lives as much or almost more than we do as humans... In many ways Biscuit is still lost..
DeleteWhat is the name of the place with the good fries? I work in that area and might give them a try some day when I'm hungry at work. I did go to your Jeep dealership and get the Jeep serviced. Nice folks, and effiicient.
ReplyDeleteI was kind of vague on the restaurant since it is the Tilted Kilt Bar and Grill on Warner... It is kind of a male oriented place where the servers are dressed in revealing outfits... But if you aren't offended by the bar format, the fresh potato chips are really good...
