Finally, around 8:30, I dragged myself out. I didn&#8217;t do much until I decided to go for a bike ride. By that point, it was 9:30, and traffic was already beginning to increase. I did my usual trip around the mall and then back towards the park and stopped by Braum&#8217;s for a sausage egg and cheese biscuit. I hadn&#8217;t had one of those in a while. It wasn&#8217;t half bad. I finished my hour bike ride and got 8 miles in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I got home, I decided I was going to put the new doorstop on the Xterra. I watched a quick YouTube video on removing the driver side door panel and got to work. I managed to get it all done in about an hour, and I had all the tools that I needed to get the job done. Including extra nuts because they either redesigned the part or gave me the wrong one, but it fit. I just needed two Nuts to tighten it down. It felt really good once it was all back together and fixed. I didn&#8217;t break anything while fixing it, which seems to be a novelty. So, while I had good news on that front, I looked under the truck, and there&#8217;s a puddle of some kind of fluid. Now, it hasn&#8217;t really been driven in about 6 months, so I have no idea what&#8217;s going on with that. I&#8217;ll put it on the list of things that need to be fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We went to Mom&#8217;s around 1:00, the traffic was horrendous. I took 121 in, and they have it down to one lane getting on 35. Somebody really needs to be sued. So we got there around 1:30, we had ribs, baked beans, potato salad, and corn on the cob. It was so delicious, a wonderful lunch for Mother&#8217;s Day. The ribs were cooked last November wrapped in parchment paper and then foil and then vacuum sealed and froze. That is an excellent way to store ribs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After we got home, Sandy said she needed to go to Kohl&#8217;s. I figured I would tag along because I wanted to look at suits since all of mine no longer fit me. I kind of wanted one for the wedding we&#8217;re going to in a couple of weeks. I found what I was looking for and picked up a blue two-piece suit. My jacket size is 44 regular, and my pants are 36 x 32. When I got home, I ordered one in Gray and another in Black. So now I have a black suit, a gray suit, and a blue suit. That should actually wrap up my suit buying for this life. I&#8217;ll pick which one I look best in and that&#8217;s the one I&#8217;ll be displayed in when I&#8217;m dead:) all told I dropped about $600 in suits today, and I&#8217;m happy I did it. I&#8217;m too old to get by on just my looks. I need to dress myself properly now. I&#8217;m just super happy that I can do so and not think twice about it. My life is good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;galleryId&quot;:&quot;69ee41513b787&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/gallery\" class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
