Another early morning trip to the grocery store in north Scottsdale while the boys sleep in. James was gone early again, this time to help Alex Braddock with his Eagle Project. I washed towels and sheets before leaving the resort because Stacy and Paul and coming over to stay the rest of the week. The boys (Joe, Max, Alex, and Michael) got up and ate some breakfast and we left the resort a little after ten. I took everyone home and then headed for Sears to get my car lubed. I have never experienced such poor customer service in all my life. I know I am used to Lexus where they treat me like a queen but this was ridiculous. There were three guys in the place and I was the only customer and no one could seem to wait on me. A cute girl came in and one of the guys immediately waited on her. She came in way after I did and I complained and the guy waiting on her said: "Oh Phil (to the old guy who can't hear) could you wait on her, pointng to me." They wanted me to take a survey but I told them I was in a hurry and it wouldn't be favorable anyway so that was the end of that. I will only go there again because they are cheap.
While waiting for my car to be lubed I met Sheri, Ben, Evan, and James at the mall for lunch. I had the grilled shrimp tacos from Rubios and they were delicious! After the lube and lunch I went to Costco and picked up some steaks and I was on my way to Vernon. James called me before I got to Payson and said he had just left. He was pulling a trailer with his tractor on it. A few minutes later he called and said he had a blowout just outside of Apache Junction and he needed me to look up a nearby Discount Tire, which I did. (Thank goodness for my iphone).
Because I was falling asleep while driving I stopped at a Circle K and got a diet Dr. Pepper, Good and Plenty candies and some popcorn and I ate and drank my way up the mountain. The smoke from the fire near Young was so bad I had to stop on the Rim and take some pictures. I was so happy to finally arrive at Vernon around 5:30. James called again and said he got stopped in Show Low for not having lights on the trailer. He finally made it around 8:30. Sheri and the gang called and said they were finally leaving around 9pm. They arrived around 12:30. I waited up for them and didn't go to bed until 2 am. The gang: Sheri, Drea Boles, Adrienne Ellsworth, Robyn Rogers, and Christy Wanlass. They call themselves the Del Rio 2nd Besties. What a fun group!
