I had a Dr. appt at noon today and I didn't eat anything before I went.
I started getting hungry waiting in the office, so I decided I would hit Dunkin Donuts on the way home.
It's been a few yrs. since I have been to one, and they didn't have hardly any selection.
I asked if it was busy morning since they didn't have much of a variety.
She told me those are the only ones we make.
I asked about the two that I like and was told nope we don't have those anymore.
So, I said, "Thanks and have a nice day" and turned to walk out. lol



I ended up hitting Savy Sliders on the way home and got 1/2 a dozen sliders instead.
They were really tasty, and I attempted to eat them all.




But after two, I knew it wasn't going to happen.
So, I called in my reserves and Buddy and Mika got the last two bites of the remaining 4 sliders.
They thought they were pretty tasty too.

I think I actually ate that there, not long after they opened. I don't remember it looking anything like that good, though.

I've never actually eaten there. We went once and the family in front of us got the last fish. Then the pandemic hit and then I lost my gallbladder.

Well, ****. I drove by there a month ago and they still looked open, but they were probably yet another victim of pandemic lunacy. They had only been open a few months before everything went to ****.

I also had clam chowder with my fish sammich and sweet tater fries. I love Jim's restaurants here. I've never had a meal there I didn't like.

I got Ron's Vette all back together. Put a new alternator in it and prettied up the wires that run across the top of the motor. Damn thing still isn't charging... but I think I figured it out. He replaced a popped fusible link with a regular fuse.... and it pops after running a minute or so. I think I'm going to switch it back to a fusible link tomorrow. It hit me on the way home that a 20 amp fusible link will take some abuse before popping. Whereas as soon as the regular fuse sees 20, it's sayonara.

I don't know how you find the time to work on everybody else's stuff. I barley keep up with my own....always something to do or needs attention..

Guess I sort of do the same. .Grandson acquired a dirt bike for his b-day...a Honda XR85. Ordered a truck load of screened topsoil to build jumps in the yard. Kind of the same thing I guess, make time for fun.

Unfortunately, it means my stuff gets neglected, LOL. I don't mind working on projects that I'm not funding, however. Kinda nice,actually. And the fusible link fixed his charging issue. We took it out for a spin yesterday.... I drove it a few miles too. That son of a gun is pretty fast. The previous owner did some work to it... but he can't remember everything that was done.

Anyway... he had taken this to a dealer, and another guy (a friend of his) that owns a chain of repair shops. Nobody ever thought about the fusible link issue.... kind of weird. I was teasing him because the fusible link I used to fix it said "Ford" on the package, LOL.

Along with driving his Vette yesterday, I also got to drive this 70 Mach 1, basically my dream car. It has no 3rd gear, so I think we'll be pulling this trans apart. It also holds 1st a little longer than it should. It a 351C, and man does it sound good!
