When I moved here the patio cover was metal - like something you'd sse
at Redneck Acres Trailer Court. Then an Illinois derecho wind storm
put a large limb from Ms. Minnie's (neighbour) maple tree through it.
Her insurance bought me a nice new wood-framed, conventional roofed
cover of pressure treated lumber and reguler shingles.
Sounds good. A few years ago our neighbors were having some concrete poured to enlarge their driveway. Steve talked to the workers, got a
price quote, then had them pour a 2 level slab (patio) off of our deck
in the back of the house. After the concrete hardened, he put in a 2nd
set of steps going to it (original steps are on the opposite side of
the deck). The slab extends past our water heater room; the area always turned muddy after rain and we do store stuff in the room. He wanted to
be able to access the room without tearing up the bit of yard in front
of the door.
I have two - both locally owned. The Antonio's (local mini-chain) and
a Springfield tradition that has recently re-opened for dine-is after
the Co-Vid hoo-hah. Their EBA (everything but anchovies) is orgasmic. Those two win every local "Best of" competition put on by the local
news papers. Pizza Hut, Dominos and Little Caesar can suck wind. Bv)-
Same with Godfather's and Papa John's. (G)
Do you have a Papa Murphy's Take & Bake where you are? I'll sometimes
take one of their pretty basic offerings and tart it up with my own
mix of toppings and additional sauce.
We do, but they don't offer a whole wheat crust option which is our preferred curst.
Chains don't always do the best pizza. Steve got a small pizza in one
of our layovers; it was good but I only had one piece (didn't want a
lot of food as jet lag was hitting hard). I don't know who made it but
I'd go for it again.
Oddly, one of the best "chain" places is a gas/c-store outfit called Casey's. For store-bought, take-out pizza they are pretty decent.
We stopped for gas a time or two at Casey's on our first trip with the R-Pod. Then Steve found that Flying J and Pilot offer discounts so we
try to stick with them. We'll also do Sam's Club or Costco as we've memberships in them but sometimes when there's no other choice we'll go with other brands. Sam's and Costco are good for an inexpensive lunch
stop at the same time.
Casey's has their own discount. And thery are affiliated with Hy-Vee's cash back program. Both companies are headquartered in the same town (Ankeny, IA)Caseys.
So, a win/win deal for you but not as lucrative for us as we only pass thru the area maybe every couple of years.
I'm a member of Hy-Vee's Perks+ club and get cents per gallon discount
on some of their grocery items or, like the current offer (today)
spend U$50 and get 25c DD> per gallon discount at Hy-Vee's or any
Since both my brother and I have MotoMart WAND cards that feature 50c/gallon off I let my room-mate use my Hy-Vee perks. Bv)=
Sounds good to me.

My *only* yard is the front yard. When I mow it I use a perfectly nice relic Black & Decker plug-in electric mower. Dennis refuses to "mess
with all of that cord" and went out and bought a 24" seflf-propelled
gas mower. I laugh every time he has trouble starting it. Bv)=

My local Godfather's are both AYCE buffets on their dine-in side.

I'm not sure that *any* sit down or delivery pizza place around here
does whole wheat crust pies. I know one can buy Freshetta or Digiorno
from the freezers down the stupormarkup if you don't get frost bitten whilst digging for it. Pre-made WW dough is a different deal - lots
more avasilable.

If you ever run across a Pizza Ranch in your travels leave the pizza
on the buffet. The other offering are decent for buffetr food. But,
their
pizza is worse than Pizza Hut's ... and that's hard to do.
Casey's also do pretty decent grab-and-go breakfast sandwiches, too.

Also my niece, Robin gets in on the largesse. She brings me supper
from time to time.
I have better luck finding the ingredients for this in the store than
I do withthe whole wheat pizza schtick.
