Got up early on Monday when I felt there would be fewer people and there was. For the moment only purchase two an HDX Tough Tote 17 gals and a Tough Box Construction Grade Storage Container 27 gals. Both containers are made in the USA.
Back in February or March, I wanted to buy a Titanium Advil Ratchet Lopper with a 2" cutting capacity so I could prune back those hideous mesquite trees but hesitated because of the cost. Then Covid-19 came along when the weather would have been favorable for that activity but I did not want to leave the house to go purchase it. Like it or not I forked out $54.98...anything to not have to hire Pollito's wino sidekick.
I have had my eye on these heavy-duty steel shelves but they are so big and heavy there is no way I can transport it in my car. Went to inquire how much it would cost to have it delivered and was floored when the clerk told me it costs $79.00 and they only deliver it to your driveway.
Home Depot is across the street from Walmart so took the opportunity to fill up my gas tank. The going price Monday was $1.799 for unleaded gasoline.
Since there were few cars at Walmart decided to go in and see if their vitamin aisle had been re-stocked. Once again they were low on several vitamins but at least they had the Zinc I had been looking for though not many left.
As I was going into the store I once again ran into this silly old man that I have also seen several times at HEB wearing a pair of pink women's underwear on his head as a mask. He may think it is funny but I don't...it does not provide any coverage if he were to sneeze.
It took me a while to be able to find my phone to take his picture so I zoomed in as much as I could as he was far away when I took it.
The containers smelled so much to rubber I had to lower the windows to let in some fresh air. Ordinarily, I would just take them out of the car until I had time to clean them but I decided to clean them with soap and water and let them air dry.
That is when I noticed that the HDX had an issue...I could see light on three corners...not a good thing. Checked out the other one which is much better made and it did not have that problem. If you happened to purchase the same item this week you might want to check yours out.
Went back to return it and purchased two additional of the Tough Box brand. By then it was so hot and the skies were cloudy. As soon as I drove into the garage we got an unexpected 3-minute shower.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
