Colored Pencil Invasion

 

Adventure Location:

Date: February 7, 2024

The weather was great today as we ran around doing little chores here and there. Before noon it was tee shirt and shorts weather.

As we inventoried our colored pencil supply we found we needed to order quite a few pencils. Single pencils run $1.50 to $2.25 each but cheaper when purchased by the set. However you can easily end up with way more of colors you do not need. As the OFM was totaling up his needs he realized that Prismacolor sells a 150 pencils set which is basically one of every one of the colors they market. We looked up what sales might be happening and found one. Since we were purchasing about 80+ pencils our bill was getting on up there already.

Then we found the 150 set for $135 and decided to just order a full set. That gives a spare for every color. This will keep us well supplied for at least two or three years. They even got it shipped to us in less than a week and arriving today.

The morning walk was actually done after lunch and was a short one of .9 miles due to a foot cramp. Hopefully we will be doing better tomorrow.

But for supper tonight we had a great cooking break through on the stoup for a couple of days ago. Tonight the container of Wolf Chili stoup needed a bit more volume for supper. So the OFM scrounged around the Castle and decide some of his breakfast granola could be added to the stoup to volumize it a bit. Sure enough it worked out really well and now granola cereal is on the ingredients list for future stoup mixtures.

We also noticed that it is getting light enough for us to get out for supper at the local Mexican food place a bit early and get back to the Castle before it is too dark for the OFM to be messing around on the roads. So we are a bit excited about that. OH BOY Chicken Tacos coming up soon. Life can certainly can get away from a person if they do not pay attention and keep as active they are able. Now get out there and try to have tooooo much fun again.
