Prev (Day 5) Next (Day 7)

Tuesday morning we headed out to Deb's office. I quickly checked my HotMail account and then retired to a conference room to type the log for the previous night. After that we headed over to Harvey Washbangers (a combination bar, eatery & Laundromat) to try the "release form" wings. Yep, you need to sign a release form to try the wings. Part of this was to get a cover shot of someone eating the wings for The Guide (www.weeklyguide.com), the newspaper that Deb works at. Also, anyone that finishes all 8 wings gets their name engraved on a plaque that's put on a wall inside Harvey Washbangers. The wings were a mess, they had more sauce on them than any wings I've ever seen and you're not allowed to wipe off any of the sauce. I got messy, very messy. So messy that I wasn't able to wash off all of the red stain on my lips. I felt like a Mentat from Dune, just with red stained lips instead of purple. Also let me say that they are hot. However, I don't believe they are as hot as I served at my party in August (those also didn't have sauce dripping off them; they were soaked in the sauce overnight and then smoked on the grill).

Not surprisingly having just hot wings + sauce + water in your stomach can make for slightly uncomfortable times. A few times I needed to drink water; after I had a ice cream shake I was fine (until the next morning of course, nothing quite like the second burn.)

After that I took my car in to get the oil changed. Better safe than sorry, and at 1200+ miles I figured the break-in was done. I didn't relish the thought of bits and pieces of metal floating around in my oil for over 3,000 miles. So I took it to Tom Little (?) in Bryan, TX for an oil change. Very reasonable; they saw me w/o an appointment that afternoon and for about what it would cost to get synthetic in a quick lube type of place (~$50). After that I caught up with Deb and we hung out some more. That afternoon she and her husband had an appointment; I sat on the grass at A&M and read some newspapers. Afterwards Deb, Chris & I had sushi for dinner. It was reasonable sushi, particularly considering how land-locked College Station is. That evening I transferred the pictures to floppies for The Guide to use. Dab and I were up talking for some time (I look forward to our 10 year college reunion this fall) and then hit the bed.
