A New Way to Deliver Amazon.

WHERE ARE WE? Slidell, Louisiana

Laundry day today.  We enjoyed the morning around camp before heading out into Slidell to find the Washeteria!!  It had the best reviews but was still not that great.

By not great I mean lots of washers and dryers broke down.  The big thing was that it was $5.75 for each of our 3 loads of laundry and it ONLY took quarters.  And to top that off, it only took every second quarter the first time, so each machine took dropping about 35 quarters to make it work.  It probably took like 10 minutes to get each washer up and running.  As a business owner, they should realize this is 10 minutes that they don't get paid for.  I would switch to a card system real quick.  For every 3 washes, they lose 1 whole wash.  So in a 10 hour day they lose about $30 on each machine and they probably have 50 machines so that is $1500 a day!!!  Even if I am 50% high on my numbers, it wouldn't take long to buy a card reader system.  And that doesn't count the dryers, which were actually much faster.  Business owner rant over.

Between washing and drying we headed across the street for a bite of lunch at McDonalds.  We shared a 2 cheeseburger meal and it was lots for the 2 of us for lunch.  We are going to try to cut down on what we order when we eat out.  It took us about 3 hours to get over our Cracker Barrel pig out yesterday and that was just because we ate too much plus it cost like $35.

After the laundry we headed to Walmart to return some things we bought yesterday and then to Lowes to pick up a bunch of supplies for some projects I have to do around the MH.  I had a long list but I got most of it.

Lowes are great stores if you need stuff.  They boast a bit more stuff than a Home Depot.

Earlier this morning Sue got a text message from Amazon that her order had been delivered to an Amazon locker near us.  The text said the packages had arrived and then there was a picture of them.  I said the picture was just to confirm what packages came.  

Would you say thumbs up or down??

Well this afternoon we headed over to the little service station where the Amazon locker is and guess what?  Yup, there they were, just like in the picture.  Wow!  Just wow!!!  And they have been here for probably 8 hours or more!!!  I think Amazon will get a review from Sue. Can you imagine what the driver was thinking when he just dropped them by the locker???  Oh well we got them and we headed for home.

Exactly where the text said they would be

         

We got home about 5 and I got busy with a couple projects.  First was hooking up our drinking water tap so that we can use water from 5 gallon bottles. 

Yup it works

Bottle tucked under the sink

Then I put a door on the dog food storage cupboard that is under the fridge.  This was just wasted space, so I made it into a nice storage area.

And we are going to try to line up a little cruise and supper on a paddle boat before we leave the area.  It is New Orleans isn't it??  Fingers crossed.  Good Nite!!
