Chandler AZ and Heart Attack Grill

Yesterday was an interesting day in the old neighborhood. We hadn't been north to the suburb of Chandler, south of Phoenix since we have been here and I felt the need for a road trip. The first winter we came out here, we started out in Chandler and spent a lot of time there and surrounding suburbs of Tempe and Gilbert. We saw some new things since last year, and some same old same old. We discovered the Heart Attack Grill before it was advertised on all the food networks and CBS Morning Show. We felt the need to have lunch there because they have the absolute best hamburgers!
Nothing in there is good for you and they tell ya that going in, but it's a real experience that everybody needs just once, or in our case, twice! We stopped in at the Firebird Raceway and picked up our parking passes for the NHRA Arizona Nationals in a few weeks.
It was eerily quiet and the lake where they host Jet Boat Races was still, but in a very short time, their seasons will start and all will be a bustle.
Across the freeway, is the RV Dealership where we bought our home on wheels. With the down economy, they were not exempt on some hard times and changes. We stopped in to look around and visit with them on the state of things now. After a tough go last year, their opinions are that things are definitely looking up. They are attending shows, keeping busy, and there were several other couples there shopping for rigs. We looked at their feature, one of 7 Country Coaches built in '08 that has a fold down deck on one side. It's the same size as ours and also has a King bed and a bath & 1/2. On the deck there's a pull out big flat screen tv. Now DH really liked that rig, and we spent quite a while sitting in and looking around it, but I finally managed to pull him away. They only built 7 and 6 are sold, so it's the last one. I went intending on looking at smaller rigs and not deciding what I can give up, I'm right back where I started!
We got up early this morning to go through the hunting ritual.
DH has been wanting to hunt Quail since finding out that there's friends of his hunting buddy's that live here. Well we were hooked up with one of those guys and went to meet him yesterday since he lives in Chandler. I wanted to feel more comfortable with who he was going away with, especially since guns are involved and they're taking my dog!lol
After meeting this couple, I'm totally comfortable. They are really nice people. He came by and picked them up and they are going down by Tucson some place. Although I have the day off, with no demands I have some cooking to do to get ready for a dinner party that I'm having tomorrow night. We're forcasted to get more rain tonight and tomorrow. Pretty soon we will need oars or maybe will sink! Later this week, we will head to Tucson to explore some more territory.
