Oct 24, 2008

Today, the agenda was simple. Go look at some laptop computers, go to look at some exercise equipment at Sears, go to the bank, and go to Lowes :o)

It may seem like a full agenda, but the stores are all within a few miles of each other. The computer (purchased today) was courtesy of American Express Points (allows me to not cart my work computer home every day, and I got a 4G flash drive to allow me to bring work home versus the computer home LOL).

The Sears trip was a bust - they only had one strength training machine, so we quickly exited. After an online search, it seems that Dick's Sporting Goods has a great selection of equipment, so after we vote on Monday, that is where we will be heading.

Bank - mission accomplished, a minor deposit made :o)

Lowes - Beth was amazed when I got back into the truck (Blue), she said "twelve bags," I said yeah; six for Blue for winter traction, 2 for Slick (Beth's Mustang), 2 for Blacky (My Mustang), and two for the water softener. We will need little salt in the Spring and Summer, because we use the bags from winter driving.

Note: the salt is all in the garage, not staged in the vehicles, I want to do nothing to call in the winter weather.

Hope your day went well today, and that you are ready for a great weekend :o)

  1. Hi Ken... I voted yesterday... so glad to get my vote in early. The line was long, but only after I'd gotten there, so my total time at the voting place was less than an hour. I am jealous... I need a laptop... one day, one day soon I hope. I don't know anyone who names their cars... have you or beth read the book The Woman Who Named Everything? can't remember author's name... she named her car too. Cute story for kids. Thanks for visiting me today... have a great weekend yourself.

  3. I know you remember Alissa from the lab. Her Mom wanted to get Alissa's husband Scott a gift certificate to Dick's Sporting Goods, so she looked up BigDicks dot com.

    She didn't get what she expected. Hahaha!

  10. Saturday (a.m.)....alive and somewhat well in partly cloudy Miami Lakes. I made a small deposit in a large bank as well and my account is now well over $37.50. Have a great weekend!

  11. Love the smell of a new computer and the way it moves at warp speed....almost as good as a new car.
    I hope you didn't voodoo curse yourself with the mere mention of winter in your blog. For that matter, I hope I didn't just curse myself for even mentioning that you mentioned it......sigh, we're both toast now.
    Have a great weekend,
    Rebecca
