On Friday Dennis had to drive to Palmdale (about 3 hrs. away) to pick up some equipment for the business, so I rode along as the dummy so he could drive in the fast lane. Joke. I really went because he asked me to go so we could have some "quality time" together. What was he thinking?
It wasn't that bad. We left at 4:30 a.m. but had to come back after 12 miles because Dennis forgot his drawings and I forgot to take my medicine. After driving for 3 hours we met a business associate that Dennis was meeting at Coco's in Canyon Country. Finally, breakfast. I just hate it when they post the calories in the menu. Limits my choices. Turns out, though, Eggs Benedict, one of my favorites, is also one of the lowest calorie items on the menu. Cinnamon roll French toast was out. Way too many calories.
Then we went on to Palmdale (about 20 more miles) to pick up the equipment. On the way we passed the Vasquez Rocks, which was interesting. We were in Palmdale about an hour or so loading the equipment, then took off again for home. We took the back way (Hwys. 14/138) and passed another rock formation, the Mormon Rocks, as we went through the Cajon Pass in the San Bernardino mountains. There's still some snow higher up in the mountains, but not where we were. Otherwise all we saw was traffic and more traffic.
When we got to Santee, he had another meeting for about a half hour. Then we got ourselves a Jack in the Box taco followed by a Blizzard at Dairy Queen. Today I can't fit in my pants.
We got home about 6:30 p.m. Long day.
Spike gave us a good talking to. He missed his lunch and dinner was late, too! Poor guy. The instant I got in the house (past the barking dog), I gave him his dinner and a couple of cookies, too. But he apparently wasn't satisfied because a little later he stood right in front of me, looking me in the eyes, and peed on the carpet. Bad dog! Luckily he's so small it was only about a tablespoon worth of pee. Still ....
