Up at 5:30 to get to Dallas and see Doc for breakfast.   First we took a wrong turn and ended up going through a part of Dallas where the football payers live.  Wow what houses.   Huge!

Met Doc in parking lot of empty strip mall.  Parked and got in his truck to go down the road to IHOP.   Ordered and had taken about two bites and got call that they were going to tow the truck.   Ran from restaurant after paying and not eating and got to truck.   Of all days a crew had shown up to pave the parking lot we had parked in.    Got to have a nice visit with Doc even though it was short.  He is going to be working on finding us a meeting spot for next time.

After leaving Dallas we went through Waco, Austin and San Antonio.  Stopped for the night just outside San Antonio.   About 150 miles from Laredo.  Don’t have to be there until 8 am so napping and catching up on some TV.

DG: Sometimes boredom sets in when you have long stretches between drive times.  Caught Annie at the hot dog warmer watching the hot dogs roll around. It can be mesmerizing and that’s why I try to avoid it.

It was great to see Doc this morning albeit a short visit due to someone complaining about where my truck was parked. The threat of a $1200 tow bill will make you leave your breakfast on the table. Which is what we did.  Next time we will have it worked out that the truck will be at a truck stop or other approved parking area.

Two hours from delivery but out of time so the day has been spent watching tv, napping and oh, watching hot dogs cook. There’s no end to the excitement.  Love to all. Good night and God bless.
