What Is Sum1 Up To Today?

That 'New' Van Again, Plus Springfield Missouri

That 'New' Van Again

         Well, we're almost finished with this New Van Saga.  We've had it inspected by an RV Inspector and yesterday an RV Technician came by and cleared the minor discrepancies he was capable of clearing.  (Rear light not mounted, dust on Refrigerator Vents, Debris in the Overhead AC).  Things like that.  Today I took it to a local Tire Shop and had them winterize the Engine components.  The RV portion had already been winterized.  They also replaced all four tires, they were 6-7 years old.  They all had good tread, they were 'just old'.  They would have replaced the Spare Tire also, but there is no Spare Tire Removal kit in the van.  It's not where it should be, nor could they find it anywhere else.  That remains an open item to take care of.  I knew tires wouldn't be cheap for it, but they didn't cost as much as I feared.

         This weekend we're going to Springfield Missouri (for a week!) in it to attend the Akita National Specialty Dog Show.  While there, we'll have the chance to meet Ja-Ja-JINX and his wife, and have dinner with them at Lambert's Cafe, the home of 'Throwed Rolls'.  His wife wants to attend the dog show, so he and I will have to find a way to pass the time.

         Lambert's Cafe          https://throwedrolls.com/menu#tideandtackle          I love their menu!  You choose your dinner plus two sides.  Y'know, things like Corn, Baked Potato, Green Beans, Sliced Beets, and so much more!  Plus some servers carry around what they call 'Pass Arounds'.  They will have large containers of Sorghum Molasses, Apple Butter, Macaroni & Tomatoes, Fried Potatoes & Onions, Black Eyed Peas, and Fried Okra.  Plus, those Throwed Rolls.  You want one, tell them, and they throw it to you.  I think I'll have either the Frog Legs, or Fried Shrimp.  If I was brave, I'd have the Liver and Onions.  I'm a little brave, but I'm not completely stupid.  I can't stand Liver & Onions.  Seriously though, it should be a good time.  If you're in the Springfield Missouri Area, you should come & join us!  We'd love the company!
