Sat down for my last breakfast in Utah. I am ready to be home. I will miss the nature trails. The trees grow much taller here and provide better shade. I’m going to also miss the smell. The air each morning had a sweet fragrance to it.

My drive back to the airport was pleasant. All the slow downs were for the same reasons I see in all cities, merging traffic.

Had to stop to fill up the rental before returning it. Price at the Love’s was $3.99. The absolute last gas station, which is in the airport complex, was charging $4.14. The two places are only 3 miles apart.

Now I’m sitting in the airport waiting to check my luggage. Seems there is a rule saying you can’t check your luggage earlier than 4 hours from your flight. I’m less stressed waiting here in the airport than I would have at a coffee shop outside the airport. The only annoying thing is my cellphone reception keeps going in and out so I can stream any videos. I can’t even get the breakfast photo from earlier in the post to upload. I will continue when I can get a better connection.

Once I was able to check my bags everything went smoothly. The TSA check had over 10 agents verifying IDs and the carry on check had a good flow.

It’s close enough to lunch so off to eat, again. Seems that’s all I do on this trip. Hehe 🤣 The burger was very good, the secret could have been the bourbon caramelized onions. 🤤

I walked to my gate and only had to wait a few minutes until the current passengers boarded. Once they cleared, it was my flight up next, but in 2.5 hours.

You, guested it. Time to eat again. Magically an hour disappeared.

This meal was not picture worthy. Now for another 3 hours, and I finally get home.

Oh, I’ve got a story about home. So on Saturday afternoon my Ring system notifies me that someone is in my driveway. I go to check and see my neighbor and hear the tail end.. “no I don’t have his phone number, he has a water leak.”

I check my other cameras and notice water pooling in my backyard. So I called my neighbor down the street that mows my lawn and asked him to check it out. If it’s a big issue just shut the water off at the main and I’ll deal with it when I get home. Guess who gets to play plumber tonight? Luckily I know what the problem is and it’s an easy fix if my neighbor didn’t figure it out. I might just wait until the morning. I’ll have to see how I feel.

So ends my adventure for this round.

I’m home. Took me 5 minutes to fix my water leak. I should just dig up that whole water line. I think it used to be part of a water softening system the previous homeowner had installed. Someday.
