Day 3374

 I woke up at 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  After that it was surfing for a while.  Cooper got out when Ellen went to the garage.  Abby followed him out and went on point pinning him at the edge of the lawn.  It was a great job.  Cooper didn't know what to do except hunker down.

We left for Bastrop before 10.  The trip there was fast until we got about 10 miles out of town.  Everyone was going 10 mph or more over the speed limit.  That came to an end at a stop light.  The backup on the highway was a good 1/2 mile or more.   There were two more similar stops before we got to Buccee's.

It was still before 11, but the place was pretty crowded.  We filled up (gas was significantly cheaper than Austin) and then went inside.  The temperature was only 70 and there was a strong wind.  With the windows cracked we didn't need to worry about Abby.

We bought Abby a doggy t-shirt.  We also bought a little bit of junk food.  Then we left for the pizza place.  It was still early, so we got a great seat overlooking the river.  Better yet, they had pink stuff to drink.  We shared a Hawaiian pizza (Abby got my pineapple).  When we were done we walked around the downtown.

We were talking about ice cream when a passerby overheard us.  He recommended handmade ice cream at a roach coach place half a block off the main street.  We went there.  Ellen spent a lot of time camped out in the can there.  I had an ice cream cone and listened to the live music they had.  When Ellen finally got out of the can we had crepes.  Everything was very good.

When the food was done we went home.  Ellen didn't want to see the rest of downtown.  The trip back involved stops at the same stoplights, but the waits weren't as long.  We stopped at the post office and HEB (for garlic bread).

When we got home it was videos and a nap.  Then it was more videos until dinner.  Ellen used the bread we bought to make cheese bread.  We added it to the leftover Italian food from yesterday.

After dinner was a little more videos followed by surfing for me and chick clicks for Ellen.  

We've both gotten into watching "things to buy" videos.  It's cost us a little over $200 in the last few days.  We've gotten some really useful stuff though.
