Much better day!

July 7 - Today went better than yesterday’s outing! 

We had an appointment east of Hartford to have the oil changed in the truck so that was our first stop!  We waited in the customer room with only 2 other people and then it was just us. 

A bit closer to Hartford we went to Pete’s RV to return a sewer hose that Bill could not get to work with what he already had.  He didn’t want to talk to the guy he called about it so sent me in.  I had a few questions I wanted to ask the service department, so it was OK with me.  I received my refund and patiently waited while both service writers were on the phones.  Eventually the one seated at the front of the desk was available.  It was the strangest thing!  As he attempted to answer my various questions, he kept lowering his head and dosed off!   He’d pop back up and continue.  He’s quite a bit overweight and I noticed he leaned forward while on the phone and it slid gently down and he recovered it and kept nodding.  I thought he was acknowledging the caller but I think he was literally nodding off!  In reality, he had no clue about anything I needed to ask and of course, it was after 12 and the techs had all left for lunch.  When I got to the truck we were blocked in by a mail truck.  After a few minutes Bill asked me to see if someone was in the truck.  Nope, the radio was on but nobody was home!  We waited and waited and finally the mailman came out and apologized and we got on our way again!

Almost in to Hartford we made the rounds of Bed, Bath and Beyond, World Market, Petco (no luck), Walmart, Home Depot and PetSmart (where I found a little squirrel for Molly)!  We managed to work in lunch at Chili’s and it was very good!  Not very many people there, but the fewer the better!

Seemed like it took no time at all get home!  It was leftover night so we cleared out what we could!  Later I made a batch of People’s Cookies to use of the Cocoa Krispies I brought from the freezer at home.  I made them fatter and not so crispy and really like them better than super crunchy!

Nothing special on TV so we both read til bedtime!!
