Tenth day in a row of record setting temperatures...

I was outside by 6:15 a.m. feeding the cats and watering the trees before sunrise. The heat has been oppressive of late and I only venture into town early in the morning. 

Wendy's was recently remodeled so I decided to check it out and stopped for breakfast. Had to move to another table as their brand-new floor was uneven. You could see someone had placed napkins on some table legs to keep them from wobbling.

I was not impressed with their breakfast sandwich as it was very salty. I had real coffee which was not a good idea as it made me jittery and gave me a headache.

I timed it to coincide with DD's opening as I did not want to wait in the parking lot. I was told last week that they might have a different color for an outdoor bistro set. Sadly they did not, just orange. 

I am looking for yellow or red but even Wayfair was sold out.

I found different size containers to store pet food but they were kind of flimsy.

Made a quick trip to Walmart to pick up some bananas and to check if they finally had White Claw Hard Seltzer - Black Cherry. Just like HEB they only had the variety pack and Mango flavor...what is going on?

For a minute I considered getting this to go floating down San Felipe Creek...but thought better of it :-D

Today for the tenth day in a row we set a record high in Del Rio when we reached 111 degrees.

Tomorrow we may break another record. It will be a Yellow Day with peak energy demand.

Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Car inspection / Dairy Queen / Life is Good / DD's

I had intended to drive into town early but as usual, other things came up.  At three o'clock I decided that no matter how hot it was I needed to take my car to get inspected. I lucked out as there was only one car ahead of me and I passed the time talking to the owner's father who is a very jovial individual. I have mentioned this small family business before it is called Mario's Tire Shop. They will gladly do business with you but they do not take checks or credit cards only cash.

Today was Double Spoon Day at Dairy Queen, that means you get an extra spoon that will count toward the five spoons required to get a free meal. I do not care for Apps on my phone, I only have two...Dairy Queen and Border Wait Times.

It was delicious! 😋

Headed to my bank but this time to the branch at the mall since I was running out of cash but forgot to ask for a checkbook cover and a register that my new credit union won't provide for free. Marshalls is across the way from them so went to check it out. They had lots of things on sale but I only purchased this neat contraption that is a 4-in-1can cooler that will accommodate a regular can, tumbler, slim can, or a bottle. It will come in handy when I go camping this fall.

I liked the story behind the guys that started this company. For five years, Bert and John Jacobs drove up and down the East Coast, selling their T-shirt designs on the streets and in college dorms. They slept in their van, lived on PB&J, and showered when they could. Then in 1994, with just $78 to their names, they designed their first Life is Good t-shirt to counter the negative news and discovered how those three simple words could inspire people to focus on the good. Today, Life is Good continues to spread the power of optimism and help kids in need.

Then I headed to DD's where I bought a collapsable dish rack and a little sink mat. The dishwashing rack cost $4.99 and the matching nonslip soft sink mat was $2.99 much cheaper than online or at Ollie's.

Tomorrow will be another day of running around hopefully I can take care of everything in the morning hours.

Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
