joegoda | Had a good day so far.

Rescued a fair maiden, who paid for gas and lunch at Speedy Gonzalez' restaurant and cantina. Not a bad place, regular mexican feed, and the prices seem fairly reasonable. AND they have a patio!

Then we went to Tandy's leather emporium and the smells were wonderful! We looked at leather and tools and because I'm a cheap bastard, I didn't buy anything, but the ideas started a-flowing. Susi bought some roadkill hide and some grommets. I stood and admired her fashion sense. It was a short but somewhat satisfying adventure. and my, my, it was warm out.

The van was acting grumpy again, but started fairly quickly. That's a win. Almost ran out of gas on the way home because I just didn't want to stop, grumpy van and all. I didn't, though and got gas at the point where fumes meet cylinder. All is well. I'm home again and the folks upstairs are either fighting or moving or fighting about moving. I can only hope.

Thanks Susi! It was a good thing you did, getting me out of my cave, if only for a little bit.
