Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, Gourmet Donuts & Cow Chip Bingo

Cow Chip Bingo refers to the rural game where cows are in a field covered with squares and where they take a dump determines the winner; I am shocked that wasn't popular in my old Illinois hometown! That was covered during this past Saturday's Live PD; the show always entertains me due to all the lunatics on there but that particular episode was the funniest due to all the hilarious pieces of white trash and total goofballs that were on there... for example, there was a guy who tied a shoestring around a certain body part, someone else having synthetic urine and a domestic disturbance call over a woman clogging the toilet!

Anyhow, last Monday I did not do a thing but Tuesday, I ended up in Orlando. The highlights there were me trying out Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers for the first time. I've known of it for awhile but mainly due to location, it was just now that I finally tried the place out. It was fine; I had the burgers and fries, which both were quite reminiscent of Steak & Shake. The main difference is that Freddy's is fast food; one day I'll try their frozen custard or another one of their treats. I also went to a Barnes & Noble, where I purchased one item; I wish there was still a B&N close by me like there used to be. I ended up driving through different parts of Orlando on this day and well, experiencing those areas for the first time was not a revelation or made me regret not having driven through there before. 

Wednesday, I ended up getting food from Chipotle; that went as expected. I also spent some time fixing a laptop issue that someone I know had; I won't go into the particulars except that it involved reinstalling then making sure Windows 10 was updated. It took hours but at least the laptop is now operational again. Thursday I did nothing but Friday I returned to the downtown area of my city, where the first Friday evening of every month has food trucks come to the main street of the city; I hadn't been there in a long while and I was happy to correct that mistake. I did not purchase the healthiest food... what I acquired include some gourmet donuts (they were such flavors as raspberry lemonade and Fruity Pebbles), gelato that happened to be vanilla mixed with Fruity Pebbles, and candy that was from a “Raw pure honey” trailer from the small town of Polk City, a place I've passed through many times by now.

Saturday, it was a rainy, dreary day so I was happy to stay home. I did watch the big horse race; I picked Bolt d'Oro to win due to some random news article breaking down the reasons why he'd win. Bolt did not win, but as I bet zero dollars and did not make any wager, it's no big deal that Justify was the winner. Sunday was another dreary day; all I did was go to a Wawa to get dinner; even on a simple trip like that I run into dumb people... as I was there a large party of really LOUD people walked in, and I couldn't wait to get away from individuals who literally had trouble finding a trashcan and figuring out where the cash register was.

When I return a week from today, I have some ideas as for what I'll be doing.
