~ My 2018 Birthday Extravaganza Day Four! ~

 I was driving up our road today and I saw a squirrel in the middle of

the road just disappear! Poof! Just like that! Gone! As I got closer I realized

how. A hole, in the hard road. These guys are d-e-s-t-r-u-c-t-i-v-e. Insane.

 

 Anyway, another beautiful Birthday Extravaganza day as I leave El Rancho

Del La Tex. Today I'm on my way to the mall that I have not been to since my

last birthday. At that time they were remodeling the whole place. So I gave them

time to get that all squared away. Hopefully the mess is over. I am also going to

Boot Barn. I cannot believe that I have not been THERE in a year either.

Off we go...

Oh no. Holy Cow. Que paso? Boot Barn?

 

 My beloved Boot Barn. It was here... Now it's gone.

Not to worry! It just moved to the other side of

 the parking lot! Huzzah!

But I knew that.... I am just messing about a bit.

 

I knew what I wanted to get for myself this year.

 

 And I did.

A little pistol necklace. When the associate was getting

it out of the case for me she asked if I wanted the matching

earrings. "A little too much hardware to wear at one time"

I thought to myself and replied, "No thank you." I will wear this

pistol along with the horseshoe necklace I bought last year.

They go together nicely, in a fun way.

And now... over to the mall.

Hey, they brought this place up to speed.

It was pretty old school before.

Truth be told, I am good with it either way.

They both have their good points.

Kinda nice feature. The tables around the mall

have USB charging ports. Those could come in

handy to be certain.

 

Anyway, the store I really want to go to is FYE, to check

out movies. I can find some good deals in here

sometimes. There is also some really over priced

stuff. We'll ignore that.

And I passed up some REALLY good clearance priced

figures this time. I mean GREAT prices. But I have no more

room for the stuff. No bueno.

But I found a few good movie deals. I bought "LIFE" used

(but you would never know it) for $9.99. I could have held

off a few months and probably gotten a better price, but

what the hay. This is the movie I saw at Barnes &

Noble for $34.99. Can you believe that?

 

A couple of these Blu-rays are up-grades

and some are new to me.

After FYE I went into the arcade a played a few games

of Skeeball. I like that game. I won quite a few tickets

and gave them to a couple of young girls who were

having a ball in there playing "Deal or No Deal".

 

Break time. I searched for Surf City as I love their Banana Banana

smoothies. They are not here anymore. Dang. I have not had one

in a year and wanted one. I moved on. I decided to have a

Wetzel's Pretzel with pepperoni. Pretty good trade-off.

 

On to the other store I love but where I cannot buy what I

want because I have zero room left for this stuff so I usually

just try to find something from the bargain bin that

is a little unusual or different. Comics-N-Stuff.

This year I found and bought what I thought was a

Kaiju character. I could have sworn that this was a Kaiju

that I had seen in a movie. Nope. He is an Ankylosaurus.

 A cheesy dinosaur from some 1980's Dino Riders cartoon or

some such thing. I did get a good deal on him though. And

I do like him... a bit. He is 30 years old.

He's just not what I thought he was.

Go little feller! GO!

 

 When I am at this mall I like to go to SEARS to see if

they have a tool I can add to my toolbox. My dad used to buy

Craftsman tools from SEARS when I was young. They make

good stuff. I found this cool prying tool. Nothing

much, but I like to add to my tools.

I also found this rechargeable screwdriver/drill. I have

been on the lookout for a less expensive one of these and

I found it. $19.99. Good for small chores. Drilling little holes

and putting together bookcases and such. Anxious to try this too.

Do you love the smell of wood? Me too. That and dirt and Hoppe's.

And jasmine. And the mountains. I digress.

When I got out of SEARS it was getting kind of late

(by older people standards) and foggy too.

I have a 45 minute drive home so this will be it for

today's Extravaganza Adventure and extreme

buying of presents for myself. More to come!

It ain't over yet!
