Red Lights, Fog & A Bit Of Slush . . .

After sitting around most of the morning, trying to come up with something to do, I decided to go 'Junkin' and use my 10% discount birthday card from Woodcraft. I really needed to get out of the house for a while. 

Gas was 3.36 in town, so I decided to gamble.  Ridgeville and Napoleon are usually cheaper than around here.  I knew there would be no gas bargains in the Toledo area.  Got to Ridgeville and gas was 3.19.  I stopped and topped off the tank.  Gas was about the same price in Napoleon as Bryan, so I chalked that up as a win.  It was a bigger win than I thought. Comin home, gas in Ridgeville was up to 3.26.  Why go to casinos when you can gamble with the gas prices here???

The Napoleon Goodwill was my first stop.  Spotted a nice Wilson outfielder's glove.  It was for a left hander, with is even better.  One has to obviously spend some time looking at the shelves.  Neatness is not one of the strong points in these stores.  I have found a lot of ball gloves in December and so far in January.  It doesn't usually work like that.  I usually find them at early spring or late summer garage sales.

Next stop was the Goodwill in Bowling Green.  One of those dreaded, little blue-haired ladies held the door for me.  It wasn't like I was right behind her.  She waited for me to cross a lane of traffic in the parkin lot.  Then she blocked up the aisle so I couldn't get around her for what seemed way to long.  It's like they somehow put a tracking chip on me somehow so they can have someone where ever I am get in my way and aggravate me.

Next stop was Toledo.  I'm thinkin they had one of those little blue-haired ladies follow me around town with one of those traffic light clickers.  I swear that I had 97% red lights.  Then when I was able to move, I got that wintery, salty, slush spray on my windshield and couldn't see.  I'm thinkin the dreaded little blue-haired ladies had a pretty good day with me.   

The Bowling Green and Toledo stores really didn't anything worth buyin. I was able to get a few things I had on my list at Woodcraft.

I stopped at the Cracker Barrel in Maumee for a late lunch/early dinner.  My lovely and talented niece is a waitress there. I had a good catfish dinner.
