Beer / Turkey Leg / Loaded baked potato

It has been warm, cloudy, humid and muggy.  Last night I did not even need my covers.  This morning it rained making it even more humid.  We are supposed to have temperatures in the high 80's to low 90's with rain all week.

I had every intention of going to Walmart but got a late start and as much as I am still incredulous about...Del Rio now has a rush hour and I am done with those!

Decided I would go to little HEB instead to buy a six-pack for the basketball games this evening. When I was at HEB this past Sunday I was not able to purchase beer because it was not noon yet.

A 16 oz six-pack of Natural Light sells for $4.99 but they had a special on 30-packs of the same brand for $16.98 making that a Best Buy.  Had an employee place it on my cart as I can not lift one without throwing my back out.

 
I was hungry so decided I would head to Hot Pit Bar-b-q and buy me a turkey leg that I could shred and eat with my salad.

While there decided I would also buy a loaded baked potato and divide it into four portions for later in the week.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

New Terlingua coat and jacket - Updated

Had to make a trip to town but as usual got a late start. The parking lot at HEB was pretty near full so I went to little HEB where I was in and out in five minutes.

Last month I spotted the perfect Terlingua coat and jacket but passed on them. When I went back they were gone even considered driving to their store in Eagle Pass, Texas to see if they had them. However, the idea of having to make a two hour round trip made me change my mind.

Today I dropped by the same store and found them and at an even lower price. I quickly placed them in my cart.

Why is it important to have a good Terlingua coat and/or jacket?  The Chili Cook-off is the first weekend of November and while it is warm during the day nights can be quite cool.  There are a lot of night time activities like dances, parades and riding around in golf carts and other open vehicles.

The ideal coat should have a lot of pockets so you do not have to carry a purse. The pockets should be big enough to be able to hold a couple of beers so you do not have to carry a small cooler.  It should also be bigger than you would usually wear so you can wear over a heavy sweater or light jacket underneath.

Most importantly it should not be a coat that you would care if you got it dirty (lots of dirt out there) or if you lost it.  That is why if you find said coat and/or jacket you pay very little for it.  A lot of people buy them at second-hand stores or garage sales. I bought mine new and only paid $5.00 for each.  Now tell me that is not a good price!

My camera bit the dust and I hate taking pictures with a cell phone but if I ever get up to speed with my new camera I will post a picture of them. We have a lot of time until November.

I am not supposed to eat potatoes but who is going to tell my doctor?  I stopped at the bar-b-q place and picked up a loaded baked potato for dinner. Had another feel old moment when I realized that the tall young man who took my order was the owner's son whom I have known since he was a little boy. I need to clarify that I don't actually "know him".  His mother would pick them up from school (he and his sister) and bring them to the restaurant where they would both sit and do their homework.  Had been a while since I had seen them and today I learned he is now 16 years old!

Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
