Today In Gallup

Today was spent taking care of business in Gallup.

I had to take Larry Lucier to his physical therapy appointment. While he was doing that, I headed off to have my vacuum cleaner checked out. It turned out that one of the hoses was blocked. That was quickly remedied.

While I was at the vacuum repair shop, a couple of men were changing fittings on fluorescent light fixtures so that they would take LED light tubes. I talked to one of them and his brother is a licensed electrician. I told him that I have a problem with a circuit breaker and the fluorescent fixtures in the kitchen need new ballasts. He took my card and he said he'd have his brother contact me.

From there, I went over to the Gallup Coffee Company shop for a hot mocha. I relaxed there for a while.

Then, I went to Albertson's to get some groceries. I received my state tax refund in the mail today and ended up almost spending it all. I bought some stuff that I normally wouldn't, but figured I'd splurge a little. 

One item I bought was a bottle of Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey. To me, it tastes better than regular whiskey. I tried some at the last clampout I attended last year and liked it.

Once I was done shopping, I headed out to pick up Larry and we had dinner at the El Rancho Hotel restaurant. 

Not a bad day. Even the wind cooperated.
