We were a great deal more ambitious today than we've been for a bit. We wanted to make a trip to Costco to replenish our meat supply, but waited until after three when the afternoon's wheat market was in. Forry had a bit of wheat left that he wanted to get sold...
We stopped by the former Suzuki salesroom (now 509cars.com) to see our friend Thomas and talk to him about where they had their body work done. We need to repair and/or replace the fender and skirting that was damaged when we had the front tire blow-out in Arizona. We'd also like to find a matching Suzuki tire rim in place of the substitute the Kingston tire shop found for us. Thomas gave us the names of a couple of places they used so that we can get some estimates.
Then we went over to Costco and restocked. I bought hamburger, pork chops, lamb chops and some rib eye steaks. Of course, that meant that when we got home I had to divvy all the bulk packages up into individual packages to freeze. After raising and butchering our own meat for so many years, I am a bit paranoid about where I buy meat. I trust Costco's quality control, especially as we've traveled around the country patronizing grocery stores that I'm not familiar with. Hopefully, my trust is not misplaced...
Since we had waited until so late in the afternoon to go shopping, Forry was able to have his favorite dinner. He absolutely loves the Costco Polish dogs with sauerkraut. It's a pretty pricey meal -- Costco still charges $1.50 for a "dog and a drink." Add a churro and it makes for a good day.
