Gorgeous day down here in Houston!

The wife is taking the boy to see some Sci-Fy movie this afternoon so it looks as if I will be able to sneak away for a little "me time" -- think I'll take one of the cars out for a drive and treat myself to a little BBQ!

I think I'll probably take the Ranger today since I'm down below 1/4 tank in that vehicle from the last time I filled it up back in February. Now I'll fill it up with fresh gas and add a double-dose of Sta-Bil since I'll probably only burn a tank of gas in it every year from here on out.

 

Ate at Famous Daves last night....I wasn't into "me" time I graciously shared it with the family

Got three nice checks this week so for my sweat and pain I had a small party

 

Yeah -- I got my "family time" in last night since it was the Halloween Festival up at the boy and wife's school! Since my wife is a teacher, she has to work the event, so I usually head up there and keep an eye on all the staff kids as they run around during the evening. I also usually end up doing a few "Sonic Runs" to get drinks for the teachers, and am in charge of taking some of the junior high girls who help out with the event over to McDonald's for dinner beforehand.

I've known most of these girls since they were 1st graders at the wife's school and it is always a kick to hang out with them again during these school events! As I was sitting there and listening to them talk over dinner, pretty much all I could think about was how these girls are going to drive their poor husbands crazy some day! It makes me realize how lucky I am to have had a boy instead -- much less emotion and drama.....

 

I've had both and the 20's will ride rougher due to the shorter sidewall on the tires. Slight decrease in fuel mileage due to the heavier weight of the 20 inch wheels.

 

Thanks for the info. Looking at 2 different types of wheels. Not decided which ones I want yet.

 

 

I ate at Infamous Jim's. Grilled chicken breast, Mexican corn, grilled onions and bell peppers, and a lettuce and tomato salad. Was excellent.

 

Had to stop today after work to fill up the car. took only $26 compared to $80 in the truck. BIG difference.

 

 

Feels nice....I know how feels also after I switched to a car...

 

Watch out....yer playn with fire when junior high girls are around...

But boys can be just as emotion wrecks at that age also....it's neither genders faults....dang puberty

 

 

Brinch.....

 

Testing private service fire hydrants today and yesterday....one complex and they've got 80 of them....just got to the halfway mark before morning break....soaked up to my knees and muddy

 

So what are you telling me -- that I didn't dodge the "raging emotions" bullet by having a son?! Dang-it -- I thought all I had to worry about with Will was him finding the stash of keys to my cars.....
