Prescott days.....

7:25 am - Friday - February 28th - TWW - 42° F, humidity 28%, wind 9 mph out of the east.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 69° F.  On this date in 2013 TLE and I were in St. Augustine, FL at a local campground dry camping.....

 .....they were out of full hookup sites, so we decided to dry camp.

A week, or so ago TLE broke her pair of trifocals, and need to get them repaired, or replaced, so a trip to COSTCO was in order (that's where she got the original pair) Thursday.  We also had plans to meet Charles and Phyllis for lunch in Prescott on their way up to TWW.  In order to make all the stops we had planned we left around 8 am to make the slightly less than 2 hour drive.  It was very windy along the I-40 corridor from the northeast, so we were steering into the wind all the way to Ashfork where we exited I-40 for 89 southbound to Prescott.

We arrived at Abe's Saw just before 10 am, and I dropped off 3 chainsaw chains for sharpening.  My sharpening skills are not there yet, and Abe's only charges $7/chain.....way cheaper than buying new ones at $43 each.  Right across the street from Abe's is a Fry's Supermarket (Kroger), and that is where we headed next to do a big shopping....the pantry cupboard is getting bare.

Next up was the COSTCO fuel station where we took on 15 gallons of fuel, then into the store around 11 am where TLE headed directly to the Optometrist department to get her trifocals repaired, or replaced.  While she was so engaged I went around the store picking up items she wanted.  By the time I returned she was wearing her 'new' glasses.  COSTCO was able to find a frame in their stock which matched the shape of her lenses, so it was just a matter of popping her lens into the new frames....

.....there is a restaurant in Old Town Prescott (Barley Hound Gastro Pub) we have wanted to try for some time, but they were always closed when we were there (they're open Wednesday through Sunday), and they were open Thursday so that is where we met Charles and Phyllis for lunch.....

......they had arrived just before we did, and it was just 11:55 am, so we headed inside and got a table.  What a great choice for lunch!  I had their Chicken Caesar Salad, and TLE their 'Duck Burger' with duck fat fries.....very, very good!  We both had a pint of their Oatmeal Milk Stout.  Charles and Phyllis split their 'Fish and Chips'.  The Barley Hound Gastro Pub gets a 4 star rating on 689 reviews.  We were finished by 1 pm, and making our way back to TWW where we all arrived without incident around 2:50 pm.

Thanks for stopping by!
