well the entire day here went nowhere.
I was starting to lay out the fence thingy around the big lilac tree out back when my phone rang and I somehow heard it so I traipse in through the shop and it stops ringing as soon as I pick it up.
I notice I have like 6 text messages from Verizon telling me the wife has been buying games for the G-boy to play on her phone and start to delete them as I walk back out.
I finish deleting them [like a 4 step one at a time process on the old Motorola flip phone and drop it in the box next to my chair in the shop and head out back.
as soon as I pick up the tape measure and get my brain caught up with where I was it rings again, this time it's the wife wanting to know if I was hungry and if I was to come over to Littlegirls house and they'd make something.
siiigh yeah I got nuthin to do guess i'll drive across town for a dutch pancake.
when I get there, ain't nobody cooking, but they are all hanging out in the dining room dying hair.
while I'm waiting and entertaining the Baby, and the cat, one of the dog's, and the G-boy, moving the water out back, and getting some eggs out of the coop to make the pancakes with.
they decide we are going down to Pokey to the car races.
fast forward 2-1/2 hrs. we are in pokey just about to swing onto hwy 86 out to the track and I have Littlegirl check to see if they are going to have their concession stand open or not, when she gets a facebook message saying the races had been cancelled.
okay well left turn and skirt around town to a place we generally go to lunch,,, for dinner and back home.
I ask the G-boy if he'd like an ice cream cone in tourist town and he says yeah.
okay,,, so we park at his other Grampa's house and check in with him for a minute then head down to the ice cream shop on main street.
we walk up and eyeball the line inside through the side window then look around the corner at the Que on the sidewalk.
yeah their ice cream ain't that good...
