Pat Riot Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I stopped at Cabela’s in Sidney NE. Got a tee shirt, some small magnum pistol primers (500), an ammo box and some Hornady One Shot. Decided to dine at the nearby DQ and get a room. Tomorrow I hope to hit The Fueling Station in Davenport Iowa for one of their excellent pork loin sammiches. Whoever created auto correct was and is a retard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Lud Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Flips pancake house is right off of I80 and is great near Bettendorf. The Machine Shed is very good as well. if stopping you can check out the John Deere Pavilion in Moline and grab lunch at either the River House or Johnny’s Steakhouse…both very good.

Fish and company stink after three days. I truly appreciate that offer. We have been taking too long to get where we got and have to be in WV tomorrow afternoon so we gotta quit dallying. This is the first time I have ever crossed the country in longer that 3 days. I have done it in 2. That’s very taxing. It’s actually more enjoyable and less tiring but I forgot about some obligations for Friday…unless we can somehow change them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the old days when I moved for work and rented, the first thing I would do is take one of the locks apart. go to a locksmith and get new cylinders and keys. I kept the old and gave them to the owner along with the new keys when I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My work tried to convince me to stay but I would sooner pee on a spark plug. I am pretty sure that had I stayed at work for another couple of years I would have ended up with a coronary event. Hell, half my stress was due to driving to snd from work. We are moving to West Virginia. Not dealing with the stress of commuting 100 miles M-F on Vasco Rd & Hwy 580 significantly improved my mental & physical health when I retired in 12/2012. It also was a relief to leave CA 1/1/2013.

I can surely understand her liking it... mebbe she'll let you drive it sometime. I had Zelda (my '02) up in the Sierra's yesterday. What a blast that was! On the winding mountain roads I often found myself behind other vehicles... but no one was ever behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
