Busy errand running.

Since we're leaving for the east coast Thursday we still have things to do.  That's why we came back to Illinois early.  I haven't been able to get my emails on my phone and really would like to use it on the trip instead of lugging the laptop.  I can do everything else on the phone but not a particular email account.
Off to Verizon this morning. We were up early so we had plenty of time before lunch.  The staff at the Verizon store outside the Mall were courteous and knowledgeable.  She worked and worked on my phone and I still couldn't get a test message through.  When she was about to give up and have me contact Tech Support on the phone, it worked.  We don't know what she did but it worked.  Looked at some tablets while we were there.  Our desk top is shot and my lap top isn't far behind.  We'll see.
By the time we got out it was lunch time so we headed for "Hey Hotdog" on Ruby Street but then realized we had BBQ yesterday.  Their root beer would have tasted great but as Ron drove past a Steak and Shake we both decided that was a better option.
Back in Tucson there's a lot of hype over "smash burgers" and to tell you the truth, I like that style better.  No preformed patties, just a ball of hamburger meat placed on the grill and flattened with a spatula.  Steak and Shake fit that to a "T".  I added a small strawberry shake and Ron had his usual, side by side orange and vanilla.
Ron did get to Cassinova's for his hair cut and a stop at the Moose to get his account straightened out.  He's not getting any communications from them about what's going on, the news letter or the dues reminders.
Tomorrow is mow the lawn and get "hard rolls" for ham and swiss sandwiches to enjoy for our lunch the first day.  And pack.  I'll get the hard rolls, guess who's mowing.

  3. Have a good trip. we may be in ILL in June. Our son is having back surgery and can not stay alone so we may come out and stay with him. He is having a stent put in next Wed. Found a blockage when doing the ekg and then the nuclear stress test--never an end.
    Enjoy the trip.
