More "Out with the Old"

Last evening, Judy and I went to a new restuarant (for us) Tsunami Oriental Restuarant, and really enjoyed the dinner. It is located in an old Toot-N-Totem, and the decor is simple and plain, but the food? Well the owner worked at Sakura and Kubuki earlier so his menu is the same as each of those Japanese Steakhouses, he doesn't flash his knife in front of you, but does his "thing" in the kitchen. The food was excellent, as was the price!

After dinner, we dropped by to see Wendy and Richard's new hot tub. It is progressing, they filled it with water, and no leaks.

Naturally, we had to drop in on Peyton. His folks had just bought a new 600 inch (well, maybe not that big) flat screen TV that really fills the wall! Brad got it hung last evening, and this morning he and I went to Farmer's Market for fresh veggies. I am certain that the quart of black eye peas we bought (unshelled) is about three times the price of beef tenderloin! Ten bucks for that? Oh, well, I got 'em anyway.

Going home, I dropped Brad off at his house, and had a major flat on the left rear tire of my trusty old '96 Ford Supercab. The spare tire has a lock on it, and I have NEVER had the spare on the ground (probably because I don't know where the key is to the lock) but Brad managed to get the bad tire off and we took it to Discount Tire for a couple of replacements. I think I bought those old tires sometime in the last century! Anyway, I managed to part with a couple hundred bucks and now have new "shoes" on the back of old truck.

I am grateful that Brad was able to haul me and the old tire around, he had to get to work at 10, and I am also grateful that the flat happened at his house rather than on I-40!
