On the road soon

Mom came over this afternoon, to wait for the dishnetwork guy.  He showed up before 1:00, even though I was told it would be between 12 and 5.   The arm thingie that holds the lense thingie hanging off the dish was bad.  Technical enough for you?

Kevin's Mom (Grammy) got here with her mom (GG) late this afternoon.  They will stay with the girls while we're gone.  Grammy made potato soup for me tonight.  MY FAVORITE!!!  It was awesome.

Tomorrow, by this time, I'll be in Texas, chilling out and visiting with friends.  I am so excited!  We're leaving between 7 and 8 tomorrow morning.  It's a 10 hour drive, but we're taking our time, stopping at any place that catches our attention.

David and Susie are excited, too.  They called tonight, to try to solidify some last minute details about our comfort.  Our comfort?  Hell, give me a pallet on the floor and a PB&J and I'll be fine.  LOL

It will be near 80 this weekend, in Texas, and I'll be there.  I can't wait.  If that isn't enough, I get to see MY FIRST NASCAR RACE EVER!!!  I could pee myself.  I hope I can scam a Carl Edwards Tshirt for a little bit of nothing.  I doubt it, but I'll try.  I can't afford a pricey shirt, but I'll find a cheap one, then try to talk them down.

OK, I have to finish packing, then get to bed.  There is a lot of driving ahead of us.  Damn, but I'm excited.  You have NO idea.

The LNBF was bad.
I wish I could have seen your rant b4 you deleted it. The one night I wasnt home. I'm sure there was some dish bashing in there if your dish was messed up. I would have loved to see that.
Anyway. Glad its fixed. Have fun at your race. How far is that from me in Houston? Welp I'll wave at you. :-)

Hey I bet that Nascar trip will be fun!  You can actually get a T-shirt for a pretty reasonable price there.  Just find the Carl Edwards truck on vendor row and shop away!  Its a pretty awesome experience being at a Nascar race!  Have fun!  Linda

Yeah, I do. Wish I was on my way to Texas!  Love that place since I lived there back in the 70s!  Also, love potato soup! Might make some myself!
