    I just had my first Saturday off in I don’t know how long, but after about 2 hours into shopping with the misses I started thinking I’d rather be working. :confused:

    LOL!
    You just reminded me of an experience with my wife years ago. We were 2 weeks into our marriage and she invited me to go shopping... She went into a very big store filled with circle racks of women's clothing. I was following her all around and she jumped from one rack to another so fast that with no exaggeration by the time she got to the third one I was completely dizzy and I said "Honey I'm going to be out side sitting" From there in my personal experience I learned that when my beautiful wife says let's go shopping I just take her and slowly drift off and when she's done I get the cell phone call from her... "Where are you".….. I will meet you at the register. And I will say OK. I love her! :D It's been 36 good years and still counting.

    Just the usual. Wally World. Kroger. Food Lion. Michaels. CVS. And whatever other places my mother decides she wants something from (think take out). The only thing is I usually have to pack all those errands into 1 day. My other day off is mostly dealing with my mother and whatever else she needs done.
    A lot of the time I just go by myself. Less hassle. Don’t have to listen to the old man ##### and moan about not wanting to have to actually leave the house himself. I just love my life.

    My TO said to LUL 5/8... ok... doable.

    Just parked, strolled up to the guard who informed me that my appointment, which I didn’t know about, is at 6am... LOL

    Good Thing I came here to park on site tonight instead of arriving in the morning, after my 10, thinking I was early only to discover that I missed the appointment... LOL

    BUT, it was an interesting trip down here... 1,230 miles from Western NE to Southern TX... and only like 100 miles was Interstate... and that was the last 100 miles on I-10... :)

    Ya, I’d do this run again.

    Well, that trailer did have a bit of extra bounce to it... so maybe.
