The DirecTV guy called at 0830 and said he was on his way, well he pulled into the yard about three minutes later. We figured he was down at the corner of Pine Tree and Cord when he called. He worked so much faster then the other technician. Had to run all new cable, it is a double cable and he got it right in, replace the box in the attic, checked out all his work and ordered a new HD Receiver for us that will be arriving by FEDEX in two days. He was gone in about 45 minutes. It was great, where was he for our first installation?
This meant we could get on with our errands earlier than I thought. First was Staples, so nice to have one right here in Saint Cloud. I needed a new blade for my cutter. BJ's for kitty litter. Lowe's for a new fan, Dan knew which brand he wanted (or rather which he didn't want) so it made for an easy selection.
Over to the Loop. Parked at Michael's and walked to Kohl's, they were having a sale and I wanted to check it out. Found two shirts for me, one for Nikki and a scrapbook. Michael's was next on the list but having found the scrapbook at Kohl's we didn't need to stop in there.
Continued on to Chipotle's for lunch, we both got the crispy tacos with chicken, great again. We arrived at just the right time because we walked right up and ordered. By the time we sat down the line was to the door.
Stopped by Panera for some bread and snacks. Then we headed to Andy and Nikki's to drop off the shirt. Nikki is all stuffy and getting kind of hoarse. They are going into Universal tonight so we will have Riley for the night.
On the way home stopped at Pinch-A-Penny for chlorine and then it was home to wait for Riley.
I played some Mario Galaxy and defeated Bowser, finally, that opened up a bunch more levels for me to play.
Andy, Nikki and Riley came over. Talked for a bit and they were off for an evening of fun at Universal and we were set for a tiring evening with a very energetic little boy, how can he keep going like that? We had a plan though, first it was off to the lake front to take a walk, couldn't get over the number of people down there. All sorts of picnics and bbq's going on, also a wedding on one of the piers. Had a very pleasant walk, Riley rode on Grampa's shoulders for a while and didn't like it one bit when he had to go back in the stroller, but he got over it.
After our walk it was off to Dairy Queen for supper. Riley had the chicken strip kid's meal and of course the part he liked best was the ice cream for dessert.
Got home at about 1830, changed Riley into his pajama's and after chasing him round and round the house, Grampa and I took turns, he was ready for bed. He was upset for about 30 seconds and then I didn't hear a sound from him. Now it is time for us to go to bed because he just tires us out.
