MEWS - (Men Eating Without Supervision) five of us went in two vehicles to The Paddock restaurant east of Artesia, NM about five miles. One gentleman a visitor who also wanted something from a plumbing hardware store. We all assisted him in obtaining his purchase after breakfast.

We arrived back a the Ranch a state well water inspector was preparing to leave, our equipment seemed to pass but the state is wanting more plans if someone tries to contaminate our water storage.

Then it was back to Artesia for a departing member, Helen (2) is leaving our membership next week. There were about seventy attendees for a surprise Mexican buffet luncheon. Then off to Walmart bumping into many of the lunch attendees, then a bath for Silver Sally at the drive thru car wash and a tank of propane gas for Buster. By the time we arrived back at the Ranch it was time for happy hour.

The four of us played Mexican Train dominos' George & Bonnie and Don and Doris. Girls against Boys, tonight Girls win.
