Shopping and coifing....

 7:34 am - Thursday - February 13th - TWW -  37° F, humidity 63%, wind 12 mph out of the south by southeast.....heavy, heavy cloud cover today with a forecast high of 45° F, and rain most of the day (the low is only going to be 40° F).  The view this morning.....

Getting ready to rain this morning....Thursday, February 13th

.....on this date in 2017 TLE and I rode our bicycles 8 miles into Borrego Springs from our boondock site near Rock House Road to have lunch at Red Ocotillo.....

....one of our very favorite eateries in Borrego Springs, or anywhere for that matter.

The last time I had my coif adjusted was January 6th, and I was getting a little shaggy, so a trip to Kingman was in order, not only for the haircut, but to do a relatively big shopping, and get the Expedition washed.  It hasn't been washed since we had the snow storm, and it was really filthy.  I checked in online with Sport Clips for 12 noon, and we left around 9:55 am to make the one hour drive into town.  By the way, the main north/south arterial really, really needs to have some road grader attention.  We're hoping to see them scraping the road soon as it has been nearly 2 months since they last smoothed out that road!

We arrived, without incident, at the local Smith's Grocery Store (Kroger) to do the big shopping around 11 am.  While TLE cruised slowly through the produce section I made my rounds of the store picking up butter, orange juice, V-8, etc. to speed up the process.  Before I retired I NEVER went grocery shopping with TLE, and couldn't find anything on my own, but after 13 years of going shopping with TLE I can find most anything on my own....sometimes I even find things TLE can't find.  By the time we finished, and got through the checkout line it was around 11:45 am, and my appointment at Sport Clips was a mile away at 12 noon. 

We managed to arrive at Sport Clips around 11:55 am, and by 12 noon I was in the chair getting my ears lowered.  I always get the 'MVP' treatment, which includes the haircut, a shampoo whilst reclining in a vibrating recliner, a hot towel on my face, and a shoulder massage....all of that for $25!

I was on my way back to the car by 12:30 pm, and within a few minutes we pulled into the local car wash place....not the DIY kind of car wash place, but the kind where you sit in the car as you go through the car wash.  We got the 'BASIC WASH' for $12, and within 10 minutes we were on our way back to the Smith's fuel station (we didn't have time after we finished shopping) where we topped off the Expedition tank at $2.70/gallon....by and far the best price we've paid for unleaded regular in quite some time.  Once that was done we were on our way home where we again arrived without incident around 2 pm, and that was pretty much our day.  

It appears we will have rain here at TWW on Thursday and Friday, so not sure if conditions will enable us to get anything done outdoors.  It may be a good time to reorganize the trailer interior, or it may be a good time for reading a good book, or two, or maybe both. There is always something to do at TWW!

 Thanks for stopping by!
