Lunch on the water...

 

We got our flu shots without much of a wait - I made appointments for both of us on-line.  Jab and go.  We stopped at Isla Blanca park to get a new tag for the car... the other one didn't survive the windshield replacement.  Instead of a little electronic tag for the windshield, they now give you a card that you have to give to the guy at the entrance, he runs it through a scanner, hands you back the card, then the gate opens.  Much slower than the tag on the windshield that opens the gate with no need for person-to-person contact.  Progress?

We stopped for lunch at Mahi Nic's at Sea Ranch Marina.  Joan got to have the fish tacos she was craving, I got a burger, outside seating with a view of boats at the docks...




Another alternative that keeps us outside for dining.  Still hot and humid, though, with not much breeze.  A tropical feel to the experience.  Good food, too.

Then a drive through the beach park to try out the card.  It was blissfully uncrowded...

Then back home and a fun surprise.  Remember when you were a kid and the Sears Christmas Catalog came?  This is the grown-up musician version...


The Sweetwater ProGear catalog!  Everything a musician could want and so many things you didn't even know you needed!  This will take care of my "office reading" for quite a while.

Hey Cap, what is the hot pick for a burger at BurgerFi and next time there, maybe a shot or two of your order to show the Henderson outlet what it is supposed to look like?! Bob in Nv

Hi Bob - My order at Burger Fi is: Burger Fi Burger (two patties, cheese, Burger Fi Sauce, no veggies, add ketchup and mayo) and a Cry & Fry (onion rings and fries). The bun is lightly grilled with a "Burger Fi" brand on it. Nothing out of the ordinary, they just use good meat and cook it right. The fries are fresh.

Sometimes they have a "lunch special" with the Burger Fi Burger, fries, and a soft drink for $10.

There isn't anything particularly fancy about it, just a darn fine burger.

And for the record, my burger from Mahi Nic's was tasty today, with giant crinkle-fries. It's a one-outlet place, so you won't find it in Henderson.

If your Burger Fi isn't making the grade, I'm pretty sure you have a Five Guys in Henderson. Close second for me, as far as chain burger places go. You don't get a body like this without maintaining it. ;-)
