Errands and Auto Care

2018 Northeast, Road Trip

One of the advantages of putting down stakes in Sugarcreek, Ohio a few days ahead of schedule, is the opportunity to run errands in somewhat familiar territory. This morning we had the pleasure of grocery shopping at Buehler’s in Dover, one of a small chain of supermarkets in northeast Ohio. Then we stopped by the Valvoline in New Philadelphia for an oil change. We’re semi regular customers there! A surprisingly fun stop was to purchase an air filter and wiper blades at Advance Auto Parts. Our use of Apple Pay was a revealing first for the three guys behind the counter this morning. They hadn’t known that they had the technology for a customer to use a smartphone to make a purchase! And of course we enjoyed the Advance Auto Parts service of installation of our new wiper blades and disposal/recycling of our used parts. Now it’s time to head back to camp to put away groceries, grab a rest, and prepare for sunset festivities!
