The Pony had a really, really bad day at work on Tuesday. We won't go into it now, but perhaps later, here or there. Farmer H made a bit of a faux pas in his unintentional way (as he is wont to do), and felt bad when I harangued informed him about it... so immediately shot off a text asking The Pony to lunch on Wednesday, his day off.
Farmer H had a gift card for Texas Roadhouse, a steak restaurant. There's not one in Hillmomba. The closest is about 30 miles north. Farmer H planned to pick up The Pony, drive to lunch, do some minor business he had in that town, then return The Pony in time for Farmer H to get to his city commission meeting about our Flip House(s).
The Pony had an appointment in the afternoon, a few hours before Farmer H's meeting. Farmer H declared that they could easily eat lunch at 11:00, and be back in time. Until The Pony looked up that restaurant, and texted back that it didn't open until 3:00 p.m. I suppose that's understandable on a weekday.
Anyhoo... Farmer H hated to disappoint The Pony when it seemed that a good steak could cheer him up. He said they could go in the evening, but I didn't want them out after dark in these freezing temperatures. Sunday was also not an option, with Farmer H being at his SUS2.5 all day selling his wares. The Pony has to work the other days. So they decided to go to a LOCAL steakhouse over in Bill-Paying town, which opens at 10:30 a.m. Don't go thinking how early this is for a lunch. At school, we ate at 10:53. We're used to such a schedule.
All went well for the rescheduled lunch. The Pony almost forgot to text me pictures.
"Belated food pictures:"
"Dad's. Chicken breast with bacon, mushrooms, and green onions. He had two, but one was eaten before I remembered pictures. A paired breast thing, honey mustard dip, rolls, and we both got Caesar Salads."
Looks like The Pony also strapped on the old feedbag before remembering to take pictures! I'm glad they got their lunch together. I don't know how long Farmer H's gift card lasts. They can hopefully use it on a day when darkness and weather are not an issue.
