The day is here! We’ll be heading out to Wakarusa (the first time) after work tonight. It’s a shame I don’t have an extra vacation day that I could use tomorrow, but that’s life. At least we will get the tents setup and our campsite ready so we don’t have to do it after work tomorrow, this way we can go straight in and join the party.

I’ve actually been taking a lunch break the past couple days. Yesterday I took the car over to a local Midas station to get it inspected. After almost two years of living here in Missouri, we are going to get Missouri tags put on the car. In order to do so it has to pass an inspection. Let me tell you that this is much easier and cheaper than the E Checks that we are used to in Ohio. I did have to wait in the lounge for a half hour or so, but it only cost $12. Now we have to fill out some forms and take them in to get it titled and licensed.

Today my mission was simple; I needed a rain jacket of some sort for the weekend. It’s looking like I won’t need it, but I’d rather be safe then sorry. Kim suggested I go to Target since that is where she picked up her latest jacket. I walked into Target and headed right for menswear. I walked through aisles of shorts and t-shirts, but no outwear. I gave up and called Kim to see if she had other ideas before heading over to Dick’s. She suggested a department store, so I then drove over to Kohl’s. I don’t think I’ve ever been inside a Kohl’s store before, so I immediately asked for assistance from an employee. She directed me to the outwear section, but it was all warm weather clothing. I gave up on this store and drove over to Dick’s. I figured they would have an entire section, but I guess it’s just the wrong season. I managed to find one clearance rack that had a few varieties, but only one that was less than $50. I finally settled on the cheap one on the rack even though it’s like sea green. I’m hoping it doesn’t rain all weekend so that I can just return it and pretend I never bought something of this color.
