Wednesday what not

Our dinner out with friends last evening was really fun. We always have a good time with them and enjoy their company. We tried a restaurant, about a half hours drive from our town. As we pulled in to park another car pulled in next to us. As we were getting out the gentleman said "I've been following you the whole way, LOL". I said well this must be the place to be then, we haven't eaten here before and he said they haven't either, they just moved to our town. DH chatted with them a couple minutes as we went inside the restaurant/bar. Turns out they are from our old state. They've retired and they said they just had to get out of that state (that they lived in their whole lives). Couldn't deal with it any longer. DH said we completely understand, same reason we left. The sad part is they lived in one of my favorite towns and sad to hear it's gone the route our town did, too.

The food was just ok. The place always posts pics of prime rib and seafood on our local community facebook page, but I guess they only offer than on weekends, so we basically had to choose from burgers and a couple other meals. Not sure I'd drive that far again for it. The other restaurant we frequent still has the best food. Oh and friends bought the dinner! I think we might have bought the last one, I can't remember, I know we paid for one of our dinners out. And we drove the 75 miles round trip and left the tip.

I got to see our old neighborhood. DH was right, the guy who bought our house has filled the driveway and part of the vacant lot next door with cars! The renter moved out and the lady that owned the house sold it, so it's no longer a rental. The new house built on the other side of it is ugly, LOL. It looks more like a shop than a house and it's blue with this dark blue metal roof.

We can burn outside again, so DH has 2 fires going today. One is a big brush pile and the other is leftover wood scraps. This time of year is good and bad. We can burn yet we also have to smell the rancid garbage burning (not us!). I think burning garbage should be against the law. It's such a nasty smell. Burns the eyes and nose. Just pay for dang garbage service! DH should have the brush pile burned down today but the wood pile might need another day to finish it off.

I've been getting some nice MTurk bonus's the past couple of days, from hit's that already paid higher amounts. I finished yesterday at $18 and then got emails that I earned another $6 in bonus's.

DH finally listed our trailer for sale. First 2 inquiries about it wanted to know if he'd accept $1000 less than asking. No, thanks, he would accept $500 less than asking. Then some guy messaged through Facebook marketplace at 6:30 this morning asking if it's still available. DH said yes. Then crickets. Typical.

I think DH needs a break from people! ie his opinionated friends (not the friends from last night). Example: he has a very very nice 1999 Ford F-350 truck. It's pretty much like having a "classic" car type of thing now. Only about 55,000 miles on it. In like perfect condition. He uses it to haul stuff when necessary but it's not a daily driver, that's for sure. He is so sick and tired of everyone judging him about having this nice truck. Why do you even keep it? you never drive it. That's stupid, etc etc. This truck is paid for (obviously years ago, LOL) and is handy when he does need to haul something or pull a trailer. Plus he loves the condition he's kept it in. Why in the world should he sell it? Lots of guys have cars they keep just for "show" or because it's like a collectible. Is DH not allowed to have something like that? Well, like DH says we certainly can't afford a new pickup truck at $70k!!
