PO run.....

 7:14 am - Thursday - March 19th - TWW - 45° F, humidity 11%, cloud cover 2%, wind 5 mph out of the east.....mostly clear blue skies today with a forecast high of 88° F.  The view this morning.....

...and on this date in 2012 TLE and I were visiting the 'Big Easy'.....

Enjoyed the World War II Museum quite a bit

Riding the trolley line down St. Charles

.....aka: New Orleans.  Bourbon Street was a bit of a let down.  Strip Clubs outnumber music venues 2-1, and the aroma in the air smelled like the water coming out of my gray water tank...lol.  We did, however, enjoy our day in New Orleans.

We had an number of packages, plus mail to retrieve from the Post Office in Seligman, so even though we were just there 5 days previous we took the day off, and headed into town around 11 am.  I picked up a few items at the General Store (hardware store), and then it was off to the Post Office where we picked up a new Breville for TLE, and a medium sized electric jack hammer for moi.  The Breville (toaster oven/convection oven, etc.) gave up the ghost after 6 years of faithful service.  The jack hammer is to break up some large rocks right at the entrance to the road which takes you to TWW.  They're just too big for a pry bar, and pickaxe, plus it will come in handy when we have to dig post holes around the property.  We've got that nasty caliche rock about 12" down, which this jack hammer should go through like a warm knife through butter.  After another quick stop at the Family Dollar we headed for Highway Hot Dog to have lunch....

Alfresco dining at its best

Didn't realize the building occupied by Highway Hot Dog began its life as the Pioneer Hall & Theater

....I had their 'Smash Burger' with fries, and TLE their Pastrami Hot Dog.  We ate alfresco on this 85° F day, because here is not much that is more enjoyable than eating good food outdoors, in the shade on a breezy, balmy day.

After lunch we headed over to the Seligman Grocery,  then made another quick stop at the 76 Station to top off the Explorer fuel tank (we actually added just 6 gallons to get it back to 1/2 full....not sure if we will use that much gas in the next month before we leave), and then it was time to head back to TWW where we arrived without incident around 1:30 pm.

It was too late to begin any projects so we unloaded our purchases from the Explorer, and headed into the cool confines of the Newell for the rest of the afternoon.  We'll install the new Breville Thursday, and check out the new jack hammer, too.

Thanks for stopping by!
