Work?

Typically I spend 30-40 minutes a day on my insurance work, but occasionally a day comes when all the "stars" seem to line up and I get busy for several hours.  Tuesday was one of those days, but it was easy duty sitting at my computer enjoying the view while working away making a little money.

But, again, I get ahead of myself......around 8:15am Jeff and Pam took us to breakfast at Paul's Diner, a local institution.  I remembered passing Paul's on the way in to their home.  At noon on Monday the parking lot was packed, and apparently it is packed like that for every meal, because when we arrived at 8:30 the parking lot was full.  Jeff and Pam heartily recommended Paul's Trash Can, which essentially has everything in it, and comes with sausage gravy, and a gigantic biscuit with a bowl of gravy.....certainly more than one person can eat in one sitting.  

After returning from breakfast around 10:30 I got ready for a conference call at 11 (9am Pacific Time) with a long time customer to take care of a new policy for his wife.   That call took about an hour, and then I had to issue  a number of insurance certificates for a couple of my customers.  By the time I was done it was mid afternoon, and time to finish washing the other half of the coach.

I was hoping the sun would be behind clouds, or on the other side of the coach, but no luck there.....it was hot, and no shade....around 94.....humid, and, fortunately, windy.  It took me about an hour and a half to finish washing the coach and trailer.  Now it looks all shiny and clean again.  I don't think I've done this thorough a wash since Vancouver.

Jeff got home from work around 5:30pm to join us "retired" folk in the barn for more great Newell stories, and around 7pm we decided to head over to Buffalo Wild Wings in Muskogee for dinner.  We ordered 74 wings "naked" and then about 10 different sauces to dip them in.  We've never been to "Wings" before, but I thoroughly enjoyed the wings and the very tasty dipping sauces....spicy garlic being my favorite.  If you are into sports the 2 dozen TV's in dining area will keep you up to date on every sporting event being played.

When we returned home the air was still, and very muggy.  We talked for a while in the kitchen then decided to let Jeff, the only gainfully employed person in the room, get to bed around 10:30pm.  Ultimately around 1:30pm I turned on the front A/C to cool down the coach, and dry out the air.....haven't had to do that since Florida.  Fortunately it appears that the temperatures will be moderating into the 70's by the weekend, and we may even get some rain.

That was our Tuesday....off to Arkansas tomorrow.......thanks for stopping by!
