Onward and Upward

Interior signage for the Mooseum, featuring the Texas Longhorn. I had an early night last night, which allowed me to get up very early. Since there's an hour time difference that had me up at 4:30 in the morning. Well rested I decided to catch up on some computer work and spent a few hours in Flying J typing away. Once it turned into a reasonable hour, I packed up and headed out. The place I was going to go didn't open for a while, so I headed to Camper’s World to check things out. I lost track of time and ended up leaving almost 2 hours later. Since the weather wasn't letting up as it had been raining, I decided it's probably a good idea to get the tires rotated. I found a Firestone and they fit me in. It wasn't too long ago that I got an oil change and they recommended that I get my tires rotated and an alignment. Thankfully I chose to put lifetime alignment on my tires when I bought them and also road hazard. Turns out I had a nail in one of tires. So out the door everything cost me $0. It did cost me about two and a half hours of my time. I was able to make it to my next stop with an hour to spare before it closed. It's called the Mooseum and is located very near to the Alabama State Capitol building. Both of them closed at 4:30 on regular days, but the capitol building was closed due to the holiday. Thankfully the Mooseum was open and I was able to get through it easily within the hour. It's very interactive and has great exhibits that keep your interest. I did swing by the capitol building and took a couple photos. I got back on my way, stopping at Whole Foods to get some groceries that I needed. For the first time in my life I left my cell phone behind (in the restroom). I am in the habit lately of checking my route, so within 30 seconds I realized I had left it behind. It was there, right where I left it. It was getting dark and I still had about a hundred miles to go. I was disappointed that I couldn't see much, but that's the way things go sometimes. Tomorrow is another day . . . new state to visit, hopefully better weather.
