My lovely wife an I took a ride to Hobs, NM and had lunch at Arby’s something different. Even were able to eat inside, by our selves, no one else there, if was OK, it was after one thirty in the afternoon. The drive thru we saw also slow, across the street the Sonic was busy, but there was covered parking spaces for eating in their cars. After we had eaten we drove further east to Seminole, Texas and on south to Odessa, Texas going to a H E B grocery store. They have a BBQ lunch counter with seating. I ordered brisket takeout for tomorrow. We like H E B BBQ brisket we had gotten in Pleasanton, Texas. Tan Jan needed gasoline and I was able to full up there at H E B at $ 1.599 the lowest price of the year to date. I followed basically a west direction heading home on Texas FM and state roads getting to US 285 north of Pecos, Texas and heading north from there back into New Mexico thru Carlsbad to home.
We did quite a bit alone today, three hundred sixty-seven miles driving. Three stores two states and eight county’s. I have cut my blood medications (about a week and a half) as my blood pressure has been on the low side even getting too low. This was causing dizziness when moving my head too much or too fast. It also resulted in feeling unbalanced and wobbly when my head moved too fast. Now my blood pressure has increased today (Sunday morning) 113/65 pulse 66 and last night when we came home my blood pressure was 141/81 pulse 70. And I felt good the whole day even with all the driving.

I did quite a bit today outside this morning before the temperature got too much above ninety degrees. Dumping our black tank and changing out our water hose putting away our heated winter hose. Spraying a few weeds and putting out some seeds for the birds.

Ruidoso and Alamogordo Cloudcroft, what a trifecta of cities. Two hundred and
ninety-six miles round trip from Lakewood, NM. My lovely wife and I had never been to Ruidoso out US 70 from Roswell. A nice four lane road that climbs out to sixth-five hundred feet of altitude from about thirty-five hundred feet in Roswell. The temperature dropped up at a higher altitude, nice. We continued west to Tularosa, NM meeting US 54 going south to Alamogordo.
After spending some time there we went on to Alamogordo to have lunch-dinner at Johnny Carino’s. Alamogordo in the four thousand foot range we followed US 82 which has a fast rise in sixteen miles to Cloudcroft at eighty-six hundred and fifty feet. From there we had a hundred mile slow roll out to Artesia back down to thirty-three hundred foot level. We had a nice up and down day.
