Hi Dave,
DD> of writer. I'm currently reading "Not This Way" by Blake Pierce -
DD> it's a sort-of cops 'n bad guys yarn starring a Native American Texas
DD> Ranger. I'm quite enjoying the way it moves right along, never
DD> dawdling over the little stuff.
RH> Not really my cuppa tea.
DD> Did I mention that the Ranger is a female? I've finished that volume
DD> and I waiting for the sequel to appear on my Book Bub listings.
No, you hadn't mentioned that, but it's still not the genre I enjoy
reading.
DD> 8<----- XXXXX ----->8
DD> I finally got an order of wings w/no sauce. At 6 wing section for
DD> U$5.99 it was no bargain AFAIAC. Back to the 3 piece for U$5 or the
DD> Tuesday deal.
The latter sounds like a much better deal. Do they offer it every week?
DD> We just recently got a Raising Cane's on the out lot of a strip mall
DD> in front of our Barnes & Nobel - which is the only "new" book outlet
DD> in my home town. I have yet to try them.
RH> We tried a Raising Cain's out in Hawaii; they were in the PX food
RH> court. Supposed to be getting one in Raleigh in the not too distant
RH> future; they are pretty good.
DD> 8<----- ZIP ----->8
RH> something a bit bigger now that we have the Grey Wolf and F-150. Not
RH> quite as convenient as just pull up to the entry door, go in, grab your
RH> order and head back out but we're pulling our (temporary) home with us.
RH> (G)
DD> I've only done a cramper trip once. Borrowed my brother's pickup truck
DD> and little trailer and set off for Denver with my GF to visit her aunt
DD> and uncle. Decided that was not my cuppa tea. If I do something like
DD> that again I'll drive my car and get a motel room. Ot take the Amtrak
DD> and rent a ride at my destination.
RH> We're not that thrilled with flying any more. Besides, we can sleep in
RH> our own bed at night (in some rather interesting locations) and go
RH> places the train can't go to. We can pack a good bit of food in the
RH> fridge and odd spaces in the camper, plus take a wider variety of
RH> clothes. In 2018 when we went out west, we packed a lot of summer
RH> weight stuff but also added winter jackets which we needed when we went
RH> to Yellowstone. No need to schlep suitcases as the campers have
RH> closets.
DD> If I travelled more I might look into a motorhome and tow a small car
DD> (think Smart or Mini) behins.
We prefer to tow the camper but have seen quite a few motorhomes with a
vehicle in tow. That's what Steve's parents did for a number of years;
my parents never got beyond tent camping. They gave that up when all of
us kids were either married or had summer jobs and went the fly/drive
route.
Thanks, I'm going to mix this up and keep it in the spice cabinet for
home use as well. We grill a lot (not quite year round) and it's always
fun to try a new seasoning for the burgers, chicken or what have you. A
small bottle may go in the camper too; we have a small spice rack in
there. One of the jars we keep in there is an equal mix of parsley,
oregano and basil; in my usual Italian sauce mix, I use all 3 so for
travel, it's easier to have a pre mix than to carry 3 separate jars.

Catch you later,
