Then shortly after 8 am I took the back roads into The Home Hardware in Plattsville to fill our 5 gallon water jug with RO water for drinking. $2.99 here. And of course Kim is there with her smiling face to greet me again, gotta love small town business. Then while here I ran into people I have not seen for a while, Shane, Scott and Connie I have known for over 35 years always nice to catch up with people again. We chatted for a bit then I was back home to putter around a bit then whip up a tasty light lunch.
