most notable about the day was the meetup event i attended in the afternoon. it was at a private home where i eventually played a board game. but first i wanted to find an event coordinator and i was told he was in the back, giving tours of his motor home. i liked seeing some of the road signs inside of it. and he had plenty of stories to tell about being out west, including on route 66. there was some food as well, the kind that one sees at a picnic. i knew i would have to move on eventually as i would be attending the st. paul saints game in the evening. but it was nice to see this event coordinator, who was at the first meetup event i attended 5 years ago, brazilian jazz at a venue near my (then) workplace. he spoke of some other events coming up, but one of them conflicts with a weekend when i plan on being out of town. another one might work better, the state fair. i did ask about water parks, as i spoke of hearing about an upcoming meetup event that will be at a water park. i wanted to see what options existed as this first idea is probably not the cheapest or closest to me. nothing wrong with wanting to shop around.
it is the weekend, so it meant doing some errand running. except the first thing was very necessary, taking the car to the shop. i had a tire replaced, it was done by midday although i didn't like being put on hold when i was returning a call. i live nearby and was tired of waiting so i started driving to the shop, and i was about halfway there by the time they got back to me. the post office was near the shop so i picked up the 2 items from my box. then it was on to hy-vee in eagan, where i got a smaller order than typical. it was just 3 items, 5 if you count the 2 beers from the adjacent liquor store. then i got lunch at the holiday gas station, a sandwich, and brought it home to eat there. i was tired so i laid down for a little while after lunch then went to the meetup event. i knew when i needed to leave for the saints game, and was at home long enough to get my ticket. i arrived just after the game started, didn't go to the nearby speedway gas station first as i had eaten enough at the meetup event. the saints won, beat columbus 8-0, aided by the long ball. after i got home i did a facebook posting about the music i had been hearing lately, some of it at the saints game or just after it, including billy joel, cab calloway, and g-eazy. at hy-vee, i had heard some no doubt, and ace of base. in my car as i was just getting home it was charlie daniels band. during my walks for the day i found 74 cents, so i have reached the next save-up goal. this would be laundry money. i also moved up some of my shopping due to waiting to hear when the tire delivery would happen. this was getting toothpaste at family dollar, and groceries at aldi. i knew full well i needed to be wise with how i was using my time when there was so much that i wanted to get done.
