7:35 am - Tuesday - January 7th - TWW - 34° F, humidity 45%, wind 11 mph out of the east by northeast.....88% cloud cover today with a forecast high of 48° F. On this date in 2019 TLE and I were in Georgia visiting good friends Roscoe and Geni whom we met while working at Yellowstone NP back in the summer of 2017......
......there are just some people, sometimes, that you immediately 'click' with, and that was the case with Roscoe and Geni. Spending time with them the summer of 2017 just enhanced our wonderful experience at Yellowstone, and we miss them bunches. Our view this morning....sailor take warning.....
We haven't done a big shopping in over a month, so a trip to an urban area was much needed. We hadn't been to Kingman since we picked up our cedar shed, and I needed a haircut. I really liked the haircut I got at Sport Clips (next to Home Depot), back on November 23rd, and wanted a return engagement. The cool thing I like about Sport Clips is that for virtually the same price ($26) I paid at Supercuts in La Quinta ($29) last winter, I get what they call the 'MVP' treatment......haircut, shampoo, conditioner whilst sitting in a vibrating leather recliner, and then an upper back/shoulders massage. Plus I can check in online within an hour of my arrival, pick my hair stylist, and go right to her chair.....cool!
We left TWW around 9:45 am, and arrived at the local laundromat around 11:30 am where we needed to employ two double washers to cleanse all of our dirty clothing, and bedding. While the washers were running we walked across the street to Tractor Supply to browse around. TLE found some new leather gloves to replace her worn out ones. By the time we returned it was time to move our wash to a large dryer. We set the dry time for 48 minutes, and walked over to Safeway to do the BIG SHOPPING (spent almost $300!). By the time we finished, and had put the groceries in the Expedition we had 3 minutes left on the dryer....perfect. We had our clothes folded, and back in the car before 1 pm.
Next up was a nice lunch at a local micro brewery...'Grand Canyon Brewing and Distillery' in Old Town Kingman. Yelp gives them 4 stars on 77 reviews. We would be right there with our review. They have locations in Kingman, Williams, Flagstaff & Page, AZ. I believe we've visited their Page location many years ago.....
....we each ordered a pint of their Pumpkin Porter, and then split their Bleu Wedge Salad, Deep Fried Pickles (app), and Jalapeño Poppers (app) for lunch, which combined with our choice to dine alfresco, made it the perfect pairing of beverage, food and ambiance! We were the only ones on this day to choose the alfresco option, so we had the entire patio to ourselves....perfect!
From Grand Canyon Brewing we headed directly to Sport Clips where Albany (her parents hail from Albany, NY) styled my coif, and gave me the aforementioned MVP treatment. We were back on US-66 headed for home by 2:20 pm, arriving back at TWW around 3:30 pm....without event.
As I write I am looking at threatening clouds from horizon to horizon, and a 46% chance of snowfall. It will definitely be a generator day, for sure.
Thanks for stopping by!
