We’re in… our new house!

image The moving started Friday. The UHAUL truck was picked up Friday afternoon and I drove it back to the house. We had a bunch of plastic tubs, so we went ahead and loaded those ourselves.

The movers showed up almost an hour late, but they did a great job. They got all the heavy stuff and put it on the truck in about 45 minutes and then we left for the new house; 8.4 miles away.

They unpacked the furniture and put it in the places Beck needed it; mostly upstairs. And all the tubs were placed in the garage.

We have nothing put together. The garage is a storage nightmare and Beck has a kitchen to rebuild, I’ve fans to mount and many more things to do.

Ethan has already been playing the back yard since the first day; it’s awesome. The yard is huge. Ethan, Britty and I can run around in the back yard, kicking the ball around and playing catch- it’s much better than before… Britty is already back in school; she’s close enough to where she can walk there in about 15 minutes. So, unless it’s raining.. she’s walkin’.

There’s a pond close by. I’m going to see if I can get Ethan to go down there with me to fish. Should be interesting.

I was sad to see my garden go… I didn’t ever get a chance to get any really good tomatoes from it, but it was tryin’. Maybe next year…

 

Until next time,

The HENRY ‘3 strike rule’ – Chili’s FAILED us – for the last time.

image Beck and I’ve a 3 strike rule. If we go to a restaurant and it’s bad, bad food or we get bad service; it’s a strike against them. If we go back to this place 2 more times and they continue to suck, after the 3 time, we don’t go back again.

We believe in giving a place a chance; everyone/place can have an off day.

So years ago, Beck and I used to go to Chili’s a lot for their chicken crispers. It was the huge strips/pieces of chicken and the honey mustard they had for the platter; it comes with fries and corn too- but anyways.

But I guess we had a bad run and Chili’s failed our 3 strikes rule and this was before Ethan was born, so at that point I was tired of throwing my money at this place when all they did was disappoint us- so we said never again.

Well, recently I’ve been passing this Chili’s on the way to work and was wondering if they had gotten any better.

Yesterday [around 2:30pm], we decided to go eat and I decided to go to Chili’s to give them a try [again]. Welp, they didn’t disappoint me, they’re the same crappy place with the same crappy service and the platter that I liked [past tensed] so well has gotten smaller [while the price has gone up].

We walked in [it wasn’t busy], the host starts off by giving us 4 adult menus, well it’s 3 and a child. Then she goes to seat us at a table with crap [straw wrappers, food, crayons, straws, etc] still under the table. We asked for a booth, there’s several open, but she asks us to go back and wait in the waiting area [erm ok].
