Thrilling Friday non-ES report, see man:

 

Weather was beautiful, sunny and Many degrees man.

Our ES itinerary took us to FST, favorite mid-sized town, and what might be our co-favorite mid-sized town, trip-roading we man.

 

The route to the first ES took us right by the FST supermarket, destination not an option man.

We had self-prepared by looking at the store's ad flyer online, prepare self we man.

We got Many (2+1) 2-liter root beers for ($1 - 1 cent), financially savvy we man.

We got Manycans (toucans + toucans) of store-label Beefaroni for same price, financially savvy we man.

We looked for Powerade Zero grape at same price, only flavor not there man.  

We got Many (2+1) regular Powerade grape instead, not a problem see below man.

We got a Many-pack of bottled water for ($1 - 1 cent), today's special only man.

Total, we saved nearly half off regular price, financially savvy and highly pleased we man.

 

The first ES was in a country farmhouse down a scenic road, enjoyable man.

 

We then went to favorite mid-sized town, trip-roading we man.

Our chief aim was to replace our watch battery for only $Many, quite a deal man.

However, guy at pawn shop was leaving and had no time, bummer man.

The "Radio Shack" guy was out doing locksmith calls, bummer man.

We therefore lunched at Chinese buffet, 2 plates heaped with beef & chicken ingest we man.

We then got items at the adjacent Dollar Tree, score we man.

 

Second ES was in a mid-sized town about Many minutes away, borderline man.

We considered our available time and decided "just do it, si man," si man.

After the ES, we went to the downtown pawn shop, seek watch battery man.

Exceptionally helpful employees directed us to jeweler a block away, grateful we man.

Jewelry ladies said, "We always try to accommodate out-of-town visitors, si man," si man.

In a flash, we had new watch battery, worth the $Many cost man.

We thanked the old jeweler and the jewelry ladies, grateful we man.

We were highly impressed and grateful with our treatment in this town, worth a longer visit man.

 

We then went to the Many'rd ES, even smaller town than FST but more nondescript man.

ES ladies will try to fix us up with the Russian rubia or other, hopeful we man.

Town has same but slightly larger supermarket than FST does, more products man.

We found and bought Many (2x2x2x2 +1) Powerade Zero grape, score we man.

We got another case of bottled water for ($1 - 1 cent), financially savvy we man.

The T-B.-mobile's trunk was very full, all bargains man.

 

It was time to proceed casa-ward, return we man.

We would have had ample time for a siesta at least, perhaps shower too man.

The GPS directed us to a railroad crossing blocked by a stopped train,  we man.

We reversed and went the way that we would have chosen ourself,  man.

 

We reached the casa with less than an hour to nap, plus highly demanding miu man.

We treated/lunched miu and got a bit over half an hour of zzz, zzz we man.

 

Mini-B. wanted BK for din-din*, fine with us man.

     *bought WUOC, financially savvy we man

We asked Mini-B. to carry in the 2 large drinks, precarious in cardboard carrier man.

As we pulled the T-B.-mobile into the garage, Mini-B. tearfully reappeared, sad wee man.  

One drink had spilled all over the laundry-room floor, accident man.

 

We up-mopped the mess with use of shop towels**, clean we man.

     **bought at a previous ES, financially savvy we man

We comforted Mini-B. and told him that we should have brought in the drinks,  we man.

Mini-B. (and we man) felt better after consuming the BK, ingest Two Guys man.

 

Movie night of more Young Sheldon episodes was held, watch Two Guys man.

Many (2+2) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

The all-time popcorn record was extended to an even Many (2x2x2x2x2 -2) -- si man, Many (2x2x2x2x2 -2) -- a record never to be equaled or surpassed man.      

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. will collect Mini-B. on Saturday morn, end of Two Guys week man.

It was a great week, much Two Guys bonding man.

 

We have itineraried 2 very local ESs and Many (2+2+2) very local GSs for Saturday, itinerary we man.

Mini-B.'s earlier-than-usual abdication enabled the laundering of 2 loads, propitious man.

(Cousin T-B. planned a luncheon for noon on Sunday**, outrageous disruption of schedule man.)

Happily, we will now have only one laundry load on Sunday, propitious man.

We might also dish the warsher tonight instead of Sunday, ahead of the power curve we man.

     **Anyone who schedules anything on a Sunday needs to quit that horrible imposition,  man

It took a full-sized U-Haul truck to carry our $ale$ receipts to the CPA, jammed full man.

We then tried to get Mama T-B.'s online CD account to work, couldn't initially get in man.
