) this is the place to author a memory, a safety experience, or just reminisce.
Been completely bummed and jealous with @lesblank and @Brad_G's adventures the last 5 or 6 days, so I decided to take a day off from adulting and worrying about yucky weather and just go waste some hydrocarbons. I've been by the statue of Sam Houston on I-45 many times since it was built in 1994 but never stopped to look closely, so finally took time to do that. While at the visitor center there I saw a poster about the Mr. Hamburger restaurant a few miles away in Huntsville located right across the street from the released prisoner's exit door of one of the Huntsville State Prisons. It's claim to fame is that it is very popular with the newly freed folks getting their first "taste" of freedom. Add to that one of their burgers was called "Old Sparky" (named after the now retired Texas electric chair) I just had to find out. Turns out it is a breaded, deep fried hamburger patty with the normal condiments plus "Texas Summer Sauce" which adds a nice kick without being overwhelming. Not necessarily healthy, but pretty good tasting.
Having to get used to the little blind spot "button" mirrors I recently installed on the factory mirrors. They help with my view of what's going on behind me, but as I do my normal visual scan of the road conditions I found that the extra "information" in the mirrors would catch my eye and make me think something was happening right next to me. I'm sure I'll get comfortable with it in short order and the extra view will be worth the learning curve.
Got lightly sprinkled on a couple of times, but not enough to get anything other than the windshield slightly wet.
I'm now well overdue for an oil change, so that's on tomorrow's agenda for the predicted rainy morning.
