Day 1371

I woke up at 6, dozed a little bit, and then got up about 7.  I got dressed and packed.  Then I went down and had pancakes and hash browns for breakfast.  They were awful.  The hash browns were a brick of frozen ones that were barely warm.  The pancakes were over done and tasteless.  The packaged "syrup" they gave me had the consistency of water.  I put most of it in the garbage.

I think I was on the road about 8.  It turned out I had plenty of fuel to get to Boardman, so that's where I stopped.  I was only getting about 13.5 mpg though.  The CD restaurant there really doesn't have baked good any more.  Yesterday morning they only had a few stale donuts.  This morning they had nothing.

The rest of the trip in was uneventful.  I got off at exit 18 to go to Greg's house.  It's about 4 miles south of the freeway.  I dropped off the mower.  He gave me $150 for fuel.  I told him that was unnecessary.

I went on a bit of a detour on the way back.  I ended up going 15 miles or so out of my way.  Oh well.  I took 205 on the way back.  Traffic was backed up for about a mile starting at the Stafford exit, but the rest of the trip was above the speed limit.  I stopped at Arby's before going home.

When I got to the club I parked the trailer and put all of the tarps and tie downs in the shed.  I was tired.  I went inside and sat in the recliner.  It wasn't too long before I was taking a nap.

Ellen fixed steak and mashed potatoes for dinner.  After dinner was some TV and surfing.  I'm still tired.  Tomorrow may be a slow day.
