Recently we have been getting up earlier (for us), awakened by my cell phone’s alarm with a truly obnoxious rooster crowing noise that makes me almost jump up and salute. It works well. Today, here in attraction-free Menifee, CA, we used our early morning hours to pop down to Les Schwab so we could give them 1.4 kilobucks for brand new truck tires and wheel alignment before we get very far into the boonies. We also made it to a small watch repair shop in an extraordinarily large shopping mall. The shopping mall even had a little locomotive operated by a tubby guy in yellow overalls. It was pulling a few small wooden cars filled with kids doing all kinds of kid stuff while riding. After 30 minutes, the watch repair guy handed me back my formerly cheap Casio watch with new parts and pins and stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tAfter much confusion over how to get\naround in Temecula, we elected to drive to Costco where we got cheap\ndiesel and Irish Cream coffee additive. Peggy was able to get all the\nway across Costco twice, check out and exit the store before I could\nfinish with filling the fuel tank, partly due to the Temecula locals\nwho see nothing wrong with clogging all roads in all directions while\nauto-stalking shoppers making their way back to their suburbanite\nSUVs. Gridlock reigned in the parking lot. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tWe decided we had already had as much\nfun as we could stand so we took our loot back to Wilderness Lakes\nwhere we set in for some extended malingering. There is also a little\ntrain here that chugs around between expensive RVs. It is half again\nas big as the train in the shopping center so the train cars are\nlarger requiring adults to ride as well as kids. The park also has\ngreat birds hanging out near the green water ditches. Canadian geese,\nsome big swans, ducks and night herons can be spotted scooting about\nbetween the RVs scavenging bread crumbs from the whole crowd. \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
