Vacation - Days One and Two

Well. Originally the plan was that Daughter and I would use this week to go to Nashville to visit her boyfriend as a Graduation Trip.... well, graduation was delayed, so the trip is a no-go (Might be resurrected in October). So now my plan is to try to do nothing of consequence for five days.... easier said than done, of course, since I'm somewhat out of the habit of doing 'nothing' for extended periods of time.....

I DO Have a major goal, however: Have 'Buck' Hakkai's exhaust & muffler system overhauled sometime during the week. I also have a somewhat frivolous secondary mission: to eat breakfast out every morning, preferably at a different local eatery each time. Monday I patronized the Maid-Rite on First Street -- eggs over easy, hash browns, sausage patty, and whole wheat toast. The eggs were perfect, the sausage was pleasantly mild and tasty, the hash brown were a tad dry and fell apart too easily for my liking, the toast and coffee were acceptable... I'd give it a 4 out of 5.

This morning I broke my fast at the HY-Vee cafeteria.... eggs were supposedly scrambled, four strips of bacon(2 were perfect, 1 was *too* crunchy and 1 was acceptable), toast and coffee were adequate--- oh but the Hash browns!!!! NIRVANA!!!!! So I'm giving Hy-Vee 4 out of 5 as well, as IMHO the Hash Browns pretty much redeemed the meal as a whole.....

Other things I have been doing: Finished watching First Series "Rurouni Kenshin", cleaned a corner of Daughter's room while she was at class yesterday and will probably do a bit more later today, watched some Classic Doctor Who, and a bit of New Who's First season last night; I MAY try my hand at canning pickles sometime this week.

Need to pick this week's anime: Knights Hunter (WeissKruez), Loveless, Chrno Crusade, or Saiyuki?

Later!

Vacation - YAY! XD

And I vote WeissKruez. Good series! Though I don't get why everyone adores Aya so much. He's more sullen, one-track-mind, emo/whatever, and just all around IRRITATING than Kaiba! Not that I don't like Kaiba (took me a long while to come around though), or Aya for that matter, but GEEZ.

Heh . . . sorry, end mini-rant. ^,^;;;

Yay to vacation! I love that idea of going out to breakfast every day-- I'll have to try that sometime!

Have fun!
