Gas food lodging

I have around 600 miles to go before my car is due for its next oil change. I'll take care of that before Furry Fiesta since the trip to Dallas is about 735 miles each way.

I'll save a lot of money the next time I have to fill up my car's gas tank. My phone's Upside app offered a 30 cents-per-gallon cash back offer for buying at least $10 worth of food at certain restaurants. I went to Jack In The Box for lunch today and got their chicken teriyaki bowl.

I plan to buy a few breakfast items on the way to TFF to both save money and make sure I'm actually eating a good-sized meal. I'll get some English muffins, Kraft Singles and pre-cooked bacon. I can pack them in my mini-cooler until I can put them in the hotel room fridge. I have some Cream of Wheat cups I can bring from home as well.

Getting psyched again

I haven't been to a performance by a former co-worker's band in a long time. The Psychedelegates were playing Friday night at Jack Quinn's Pub downtown. Only three members of the band could make it: The lead singer, the keyboard player and the bass player. They did a more laid-back set of music and called themselves "The Mellow-Delegates" a few times. I had a late lunch earlier that afternoon. I just had a small salad and some potato leek soup for dinner, then a chocolate chip bread pudding for dessert.
