Going to make this short tonight cuz it's already after 1:00 a.m. and I'm tired. Good day all in all though. Had to get up early this morning because the problem with the truck window was still on my mind. Found out that the local Ford dealer had his service shop open for the day, so I dropped the truck off to them as my friends and I headed over to 'Lucile's' for a bit of 'Cajun' breakfast. One of my favorite restaurants of all times, there are now about 6-8 of them scattered about northern Colorado in various cities. They do only breakfast and lunch and specialise in offering food with a distinctly Cajun flavor. Lot's of red beans and rice, grits and andoule sausage. Yum! Today it was a cajun omelette with grits and hash browns, and of course, one of thier giant sheet pan biscuits with home made strawberry-rubarb jam on it.
They finished my truck up around 3:00 this afternoon. Besides having to take the front door panel off and replace the window roller up and down thing'y, I also had them replace the front brakes on the truck because they were getting pretty worn. One thing that is always nice is being able to stop while towing a 26' travel trailer behind you, and I know doing that puts a lot of wear and tear on the brakes. So; a little more than $700 bucks later my window now rolls up and down again like it should and the brakes also work like they should. Wasn't really expecting to have to shell out a bunch of money on things like that, but whatcha goin' to do?
Drove up to Fort Collins late this afternoon in order to go to the contra dance there. Had a wonderful time there of course. A few more old friends that I hadn't seen yet on my stop back here. It was the Avant Gardeners playing again and Rick Smith was the caller this evening. One more evening of dancing tomorrow night up in Boulder and then it will be back to just going to the regular dances when ever I can.
That's about all I can handle doing tonight.... time to go and get some sleep.
