Mutton sandwiches and sneakers

The last couple of weeks I took time off from lifting. I've been out doing some site visits and have been able to go back into the rez. Way back into the rez. Geez, I went way out to Pinon for a couple of days... when we were growing up, Pinon was one of those places that you would go only if you had family out there or you got lost. I've been out there once before and that was to visit the school when I was an insurance agent. I remember eating lunch at a gas station. At this past visit, my coworker and I ate at a road side mutton stand to get our fix. Man, that was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Not only was it tender, it had lettuce, tomatoe, and red onions. They don't do that out in the eastern agencies, really, it was a treat. There was a gal that was sitting in front of me that was from I guess the Philipines and she had a full bowl of steamed corn stew and big old fried bread. She was slurping it up just like the rest of us. mmmm...good food.

Today I had to go out to Dilkon for another site visit but this time I went alone. No road side stands that I could see, so I had to settle for a 3 piecer in Gallup. It's been along time since I've been IN Gallup. I remember going there to do some shopping with my folks, movies with my girlfriends, and pizzas with friends, but this time, it was all foreign to me. I'm kind of glad though, some of those memories weren't all good. Some times it's good to forget.

I saw the San Francisco peaks from Dilkon. That reminds me of some good times back at NAU. Geez, I miss hangin my buds there and listening to the forest breeze while I did my homework. I almost made a dash, but I would have to explain why there was an extra 200 miles on the company truck and the bill from the Beaver Street Brewery, haha. I love that meatloaf sandwich there.

Yesterday morning I did my chest and triceps...I didn't feel like I skipped a beat in my routine. One thing that I'm going to start is running. I knew I had to get some new shoes but I fealt that I had to get some good ones this time because the others that I have have broken down too quickly. I went to the New Balance store and for the first time ever, my shoes fit and have relieved some soreness in my left foot. I hope these work out because this is the first time I ever spent over a hundred bucks for shoes. Geez.

Rock on.
