We had a few tasks to perform today. Peggy did the laundry at the park’s laundry facility and I did the dishes and ground up a load of coffee beans for use over the next few weeks. We also went to a place called the Track Stop Cafe for breakfast. The food was pretty good and reasonably priced but the Truck Stop Cafe seems to be missing an important component – there is no truck stop.
Fortunately for me, Peggy had decided to do a bit of clothes shopping at a little store on the town’s main drag called Red Ants Pants. They specialize in very sturdy cotton duck work pants for women. Right next door is 2 Basset, the brewery where we had good suds yesterday. I was quite content to malinger in 2 Basset while she was next door at Red Ants buying a pair of long work pants and a pair of work shorts. They ain’t cheap but they are very well made out of tough materials and cut for women. Apparently, men’s work pants do not work well on women but Peg says these pants are very comfy and should last for some longer period than department store pants which are made by overseas slaves who have no idea what pants are. Peg finished up at Red Ants and joined me for a stout at 2 Basset. We soon left because the skies were getting very nasty looking, sort of like the dark clouds sent by Sauron to shield orcs from the sun. Fortunately, we went to Costco a few days back and are amply supplied with tasty stuff for what appears to be some seclusion in our trailer for a while.
