Wednesday
Early this morning it was already showing that today was going to be hotter than “heck”. First thing first…grocery shopping. We drove down Hwy 101 to Shelton to fill the gas tank on our toad and then across the street to Wal-Mart. We were trying to get all this accomplished before the temperature drove us inside for the rest of the day. With the back seat filled with our new “goodies”, we headed back to the air conditioned coach. Hell it wasn’t but 15 minutes after we had lunch that we both thought it nuts to sit inside all day when the weather and the area around here were too good to pass just because it was “HOT”. Now I don’t know if you remember it or not, but our air-conditioning in the toad quit working last summer and we still haven’t had it taken care of, now we’ll suffer a little. With the windows down and the wind blowing through the windows we traveled north on 101 following the shores of Hood Canal. When it came time to turn around and head back we found a sea food stand that was advertising “Huge Dungeness Crab”. Now that was a sign that was made just for me… Yep, we stopped and bought a 3 ½ pound fresh Dungeness that I can’t wait to dig into. I must say that I love those little “Fresh Fish” street markets…everything they have I want to go home with. Tomorrow is supposed to be much cooler so I will start preparing for our “Patio Dinner” of Dungeness and beer…a lot of both…man that’s living…
