Pizza Hut - online deals

Have you ever ordered a pizza online from Pizza Hut? I do pretty consistently each week when I get together with a group of friends and watch Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Atlantes and Doctor Who. Two things drive me nuts about their website.

First; is the user interface. I'm not going to spend time complaining about it but I think it could be a lot easer to use and navigate.

Second; and the one that I find really annoying is that if you order online using an online coupon, at the store they will ask that you print it out and bring it in with you. I don't understand the reasoning behind this. I'm ordering it through their web site, I must have clicked on their coupon. If they really want a copy cant they program there own printers to print the coupon on the printer that print out your receipt and tear it off? If anyone happens upon this posts that has any idea why Pizza Hut does this please leave a comment!

Lewis Cafe

Sunday, April 20, 2008 my parents and I stopped off at this little restaurant in St Clair, MO. for Lunch. Its some what off the highway but worth the drive. They raise there own cattle for all the beef on the menu. They also make their own poppy seed salad dressing. yum, yum.
Park across the street from the restaurant. Drivers actually stop their cars for you as you cross main street.

A day at Onondaga State Park

I went out to Onondaga state park with my parents on a beautiful day to be out and about. When we pulled into the area where you put your boat in the water (you do have a boat, don't you?) we found the local teenagers making use of the facilities.




I did get to make a few cast with my fishing rod. Didn't catch anything.

Weekend

No Fishing or Biking for me today. The weather is still somewhat cloud, rainy and kinda cold. Tomorrow is suppose to be nicer. Keep your fingers X

I'm going to try to start using Twitter. I don't think it will really last, but what the heck. I'm still using it there should be a set of posts in the left hand column of this page.

Earth Quake

Last night around 4:30 there was an earth quake that registered 5.4 on the rictor scale. I slept right through it, but my room mate woke to a shaking fan.

Last night i was suppose to get together with Nancy to watch The first couple of the HBO John Adams series, but she had to study for her Real Estate exam. Instead Steve came over and we grilled hamburgers and baked potato wedges and ate them outside on the patio.

Hopefully this weekend i can get in some fishing and bike riding!

It's Snowing

I'm sitting in the St. Louis Bread Co (Panera) in Des Peres at Manchester and 270 on Sunday April 13 at 9:50. Looking out the window I've noticed it's snowing! Hard! even harder than when I started writing this sentence!

Hammerstones

On Friday, April 11, I ended up at Hammerstones for lunch after starting out for Hodaks. But because Hodaks was packed we headed out in search of someplace else and just before we were about to give up and get something to go at Taco Bell we found this little place with a hammer mounted on the front door for a handle. Its really more of e small neighborhood bar than restaurant. I had the half chicken with fries and slaw and my coworker dining with me had the Texas Toasted Patty Melt with fries. My chicken was "OK" though i must admit i had Hodaks in my head and that really hard to beat for fired chicken. I guess the main problem with it was the chicken was greasier than I would have liked. The Patty Melt not only looked really good my coworker confirmed it.

The service was good though I felt like we had to wait for our check for a little longer than we should have had to.

I had water and forgot to notice whether they carried Coke or Pepsi.

Gutters

I removed as much gunk from the gutter running along the front of the house as I could today before it started raining. I thought it had a good slop to it but now I'm not so sure. I guess ill have to figure out a fix this summer.

Nice Weekend

Finally, beautiful weather on my long weekend.

Friday, I'm not sure how I used up the whole day. At 10:00 I took my cat (spice) to the vet for her shots and the ulcer on her lip and at 1:30, I went with my parents to a doctors appointment for my dad. Friday night was the season premier of Battlestar Galactica (yah!) One year was way to long to wait. She episode was really good and worth the wait, though it did end on a cliff hanger.

Saturday, Steve and I took off down 44 looking for someplace to fish around Onondaga Cave State park. The rivers were still high and moving fast so we headed to the shooting range. I haven't done any target shooting in an long time but my precision seemed to be pretty good if not my accuracy. This was also the first time I recall ever using a scope and I really enjoyed the experience. Being able to see where you hit the target each time with out having to walk up the the target makes it much more enjoyable.

Sunday was the nicest day of all. Unfortunately I wast outside for to much of it. Most of the day I was inside though I did get out to Queeny Park to walk the dogs.
