How to make a trip worth while!

I over slept this morning and had to hustle so I would not miss our walk.  I almost talked myself into a cream horn for breakfast afterwards, but managed to  drive by the bakery on the way home.  After a quick change of clothes we headed for the Costco in Lacey.  Our first stop was to visit Marie, from there we went to Jiffy Lube.  I had noticed the oil was down a quart and pretty dirty before we left, so I planned on getting it changed today.  We had lunch at Dairy Queen and then headed North.  Next on the list was Harbor Freight, just to look around at the guy stuff.
It only cost us about $30 to get out of there.  From there, we went to visit Barry and Mona, we had a great time there!  Then it was off to Radio Controlled Hobbies over by Costco.  I ended up getting my fathers day present from Vera there, a new Blade mCPx helicopter.  Costco was fun, not many people and no rush, so we enjoyed our shopping.  We stopped at Long John Silvers/KFC for dinner, I don't think we will have the Long John Silvers side of the menu again, it was not too good, well, the Pepsi was OK!  As we were coming through Chehalis, Vera suggested stopping by Bob Stedham's for a visit, it sounded great to me, so a quick call, he was home, so we stopped and kept him from his dinner while I emptied his candy dish a little.  After we got home and unloaded, I charged the batteries for the new helicopter, got the transmitter set up and did a test flight.
If you look close, you can see it in my right hand.  It flew great, it is amazing how much electronics they can put on a little board now.
