I'd like to be... under the sea...

In an Octopus's garden in the shade.

If you said, "The Beatles," you get 50 bonus points.  If you said, "Ringo is singing on this one," give yourself another 50 bonus points.

We hauled the cargo trailer into Harlingen to get new tires for it.  The tires on it have plenty of tread left, but they are about 4 1/2 years old... time to change 'em out.  Our neighbor asked where we were going so early; when I told him about the tires, he suggested we "run 'em 'till they run out of tread."

He has obviously never had a trailer tire blow out in the middle of nowhere.

We are "regulars" at Discount Tire.  Easy to deal with - you can check on-line to see that any particular shop has what you need and the price.  We rolled in shortly after they opened this morning, and my new best friend, Daniel, told us the job would be done in a half hour.  Before we were done with breakfast at the Denny's next door, they called - "It's done."

Easy.

We had some other running to do, including a stop at one of my favorite shopping places: Bass Pro Shop.  They have an overhead display that looks like you are viewing the surface of the water from below...

We got what we needed, and as we were walking back to the truck...

Field trip!  Three buses full of elementary school kids were unloading.  Good timing on our part.  Good marketing for Bass Pro - start 'em young!  ;-)

We drove to our storage unit to check on the 5th wheel and put a few things away.  Then, heading back to the house.

We re-parked the trailer and brought in the stuff we bought.  Little Izzy was particularly interested in this...

"Is that for me?  You probably want me to eat that right now, huh?"

Another beautiful day in the Tropical Tip... would have been a great day to play with a paddleboard, a kayak, or the dinghy.  Alas (and how often do you get to say, "Alas"??), stuff to get done... the clock is ticking on our departure.
