I set up for tonight's gathering. I had kept back a pan and a half of brownies from the funeral. So I'll bake some cookies and a cake and call it good. I also made hummus and baked corn tortillas for the vegans.

DR VIXMOM - Lowe's has some nice washers that are not EXPENSIVE.....and they take your old one away. I think it costs $15.... I bought the Roper washer.....it was $299 and it seems to be doing all right after several years.

I did get the matching dryer that I had to replace....so I bought a more expensive one.

AND check the scratch and dent section.....my dryer had a dent in the bottom and it was $200 off! Warranty is still good on those appliances.

I’m on a quick break, so, a little ketchup.

We have a whole scratch and dent store here that carries all brands, and we’re delighted with the fridge we bought there a few years back.

But here’s what to watch for — scratches and dents are fine, but go over it carefully to make sure the damage isn’t something like a loose knob or switch or control panel, anything like that. Otherwise, enjoy the steep discount!

Those taquito photos look exactly like what I used to have regularly - but I never went to Olvera Street back then, so we must have had a jernt near us where I could get them.

Back then I only got them at Olvera Street. I don't remember Rabozo's having them.

Tuesday afternoon greetings from Cumberland, Maryland! We had a smooth drive and are now settled into the same hotel we stayed in on June 19.

DR ChasSmith, there’s a lot of construction on Interstate 70 between Pittsburgh and Wheeling. In West Virginia, our eastbound traffic was slow, but westbound was at a standstill. We’d already decided to go home a different way on Saturday, but I thought you’d want to know.

Bruce, you say in the notes that you are 96, not Scotty Bowers.

And that you died at 96!

I don't know WHAT you people are talking about.

What??

Well, I could've sworn....

I think I've solved the mystery of the taquitos - In 1977 I lived in Valley Village (then North Hollywood) - we had a little Mexican jernt just four blocks away - I drove by it today and I'm guessing that's where I had them regularly, because we went there often.

Back from picking up packages, an important envelope, banking, and grabbing food at McDonald's, as I just wanted something quick and easy.

I am sorry I never ate there.

Moving around the country I discovered not all taquitos were tightly rolled, and too my surprise were still good. They were just a bit different.

I don't believe I've ever heard of a taquito, and I love Mexican food.

They're not "real" Mexican food...just a Mexican-inspired creation created here in the states...like so many other delicious foodstuffs.

Then we came home to discover our washing machine had died

Oh, no!

It is 28 years old and has provided good service

Wow! 28 years is a good long run for a washing machine. Mine is going on 13, and my car is over 21!

George · « **Reply #76 on:** October 15, 2019, 04:42:04 PM »

I'm hoping my car lasts until I pay off my mortgage, which should be in about 2 1/2 years.

Hello, everyone.

I've hardly stopped for several days. Yesterday I didn't eat breakfast until noon, and today it was 12:45. It's amazing how much needs to be done just to have a few days free!

Jeanne · « **Reply #82 on:** October 15, 2019, 05:04:14 PM »

I'm scheduled for surgery on Thursday, will text BK once I'm coherent enough to do so, and then will need a few days or so to recuperate. I'll post as I can.

Jeanne · « **Reply #83 on:** October 15, 2019, 05:05:07 PM »

R.I.P. Nessa.

Jeanne · « **Reply #84 on:** October 15, 2019, 05:06:44 PM »

R.I.P. Vixmom's washer.

As DR George said, 28 years is a LONG life for a washer.

Jeanne · « **Reply #85 on:** October 15, 2019, 05:07:37 PM »

Vibes that Vixmom finds a new washer that she's happy with and also has a long life.

(Both Vixmom and her washer.)

I don't think I've ever eaten taquitos. I like veggie tacos and cheese enchiladas. Very much. With sour cream and guacamole. Yum.

We walked along the canal towpath, which is now a bike trail, to The Crabby Pig for a delightful outdoor dinner. I had clam strips and a garden salad - yum!
