Surprise Hit

I had a change of plans today and need to take a long drive to a home visit for my volunteer position. Up early to workout and then head out early. This was a difficult scheduling situation between everyone's calendars so I jumped on this option. I'm headed up to the northern mountains. 

Electrician was a no-show. We continue the schedule and ghost pattern. This is a fix from the builder so we have no choice about the electrician he uses. We've been trying to have him come since we moved in.

Dinner date night was fun. The restaurant was a surprise hit -- didn't expect that because it seems like a dated or old-folky kind of place. It's neither, but it has a different vibe. Hard to explain. It's also an event hall and I think that's why it has that kind of feel. Back in the day when you were on a beach vacation and went to the one fancy restaurant for dinner that was also a bit cheesy with dark tables and the food was just okay but it tried to be fancy ... that's a bit of the vibe, but the menu is farm-to-table with lots of interesting choices. Great service too. It's been around for a really long time and I don't know one person who's eaten there and everyone asks me if we've tried it. We picked it just to say we went and a bit ironically, but joke's on us.

I'm going to keep this short since the morning is pushed. The rest of the day is wide open, so I'll be able to shift a few things to afternoon. Garden watering and workout need to happen before I go so time to get moving. 

Hope you have a good day. Later gators.
