Cabela's In Albuquerque

Right now, I am relaxing at the Route 66 RV Resort in Albuquerque.

I checked in around 12:45 after taking care of business in the city. I am having the last cigar of the Montecristo No. 9 cigars I bought in Havana in April.

First off, I wanted to check out Cabela's. I have been to one of their sister stores, Bass Pro Shops, but this is the first time I've been to a Cabela's. They have pretty much the same things as Bass Pro Shops except the store is set up in a more "traditional" manner. In comparison, Bass Pro Shops looks more like an amusement park with its set-up.

Anyway, I wandered around Cabela's for about an hour or so. I stopped in their firearms department and it is big!

Afterwards, I wandered around their camping section and then their cooking section. I saw some interesting things there. Since my little heart issue last summer, I am basically on a fish and chicken diet (I will break that tonight at the Thunder Road Steakhouse and Cantina by having some prime rib), so I checked out their spices for chicken. I picked up a couple of different ones. I will try them at home this coming week and if I like them, I will bring them on the Wells Fun Run trip later this month.

I did find a humorous one, called "Rub Some Butt". I think it's for pork. I took a photo of it.

Along with the spices, I did get a box of peanut brittle. I haven't had any for quite a while.

After my visit to Cabela's I headed out of the city to Camping World (which is about 7 miles from the Route 66 Casino Hotel) to get some supplies, including some holding tank chemicals. Once I was done there, I headed to the Route 66 RV Resort for some relaxation. I understand there's supposed to be thunderstorms tonight here. Perhaps I will get a good light show to entertain me. It was raining at home when I headed on the road this morning.

Tomorrow, I will be seeing my hair-cutter, Michelle (my belle) for a haircut. She's expecting me since I called her up the other day.
