I got back to sleep after a reset, and eventually got up to eat a leftover waffle. Summer did her nails and watched TV, and I got ready for my trip to the Springdale Pool Lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I couldn&#8217;t find anyone to ride with me, so I made the trip alone. I stopped in Alma to charge, and went into Harp&#8217;s for some food since the pool hall wouldn&#8217;t have any. I got some pretty good chicken strips and a hilariously small serving of potato wedges, but it was all more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got to Springdale about half an hour late after all of that, but it looked like they were just getting settled in anyway. There weren&#8217;t a bunch of people, but we had a good time and played a few rounds of some pretty bad pool. We were only there for about three hours before we had to give up the reserved tables, and then we parted ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stopped by the Hawaiian Bros just up the road and had a little bit of food, but brought most of it back home. I had to stop in Alma again to charge for a little bit, and then wound down for bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Don&#8217;t get distracted by all the pretty lights.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We lost power briefly last night, and I woke up gasping because my battery backup just doesn&#8217;t have any life left in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[61,36,37,31,71],"class_list":["post-9442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-celebration","tag-food","tag-friends","tag-holiday","tag-sad"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9442"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9442\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9443,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9442\/revisions\/9443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gallopingcow.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
