The wind has picked up, and the good folks at NOAA have issued a wind advisory for north Texas through Thursday night, so we decided to stay put for another day (and night). So, the plumbing problems in St. Joseph will have to wait. In the meantime, I’ve got work to do on the ISM [...]
We are still in the Dallas area, just northeast of the city in a very nice RV Park, quiet with free fast WiFi and friendly owner/manager. We’re staying an extra night after deciding that trying to get to Omaha by Saturday was just pushing too hard, and we’d rather visit family on the way anyway. [...]
Phil’s daughter Cheryl reminded him this morning that my blog is out of date, so she didn’t know where we were or what we’ve been doing. Sorry, Cheryl! I had actually written a post a few days ago, when we were in Carlsbad, New Mexico, but somehow it got lost. I thought I had published [...]
Here’s an example of why we love West Texas: click the image for a larger version in a new window We will be leaving Alpine tomorrow for a two-day trip to Carlsbad, New Mexico, then a leisurely 3 days drive to Dallas. We’ll stop there for a couple of days to visit a cousin, then [...]
I wrote this yesterday while we were driving, but of course the WiFi in Ozona wasn’t working, so had to wait till we got here to post it. Since writing this we’ve decided to stay here another week, so any references to leaving on the 17th are out of date. After staying overnight at that [...]
We have arrived in Alpine, at the La Vista RV Park, but while the WiFi here is great — strong signal and very fast — our cellphones don’t work! So, if you need to contact us via voice, please use my Skype-In number, (816) 256-3823. Or even better, if you use Skype, contact us that [...]
I’m posting this from my iPhone in Ozona, Texas because the WiFi here at Circle Bar RV Park is not working. Darn! We could have just parked at one of the WiFi-equipped rest areas on I-10 and saved $20! Next time I will ask not only, “Do you have Wifi?” but follow that with, “Is [...]
… and after we fill the gas tank tomorrow, we will undoubtably be at least a dollar short. So it goes, but there is a slight silver lining (as long as we’re doing clichés): when we had the repairs done a couple of weeks ago we also had the engine serviced, and since we’d broken [...]
We plan to leave Buda tomorrow afternoon, after an online meeting. Our first stop on the way to Alpine is in Kerrville, which we’ll reach by way of San Antonio rather than taking any shortcuts. Interstate highways are just so much easier than taking a chance on unfamiliar highways. After that short hop, we’ll either [...]
The Southwind is in the shop, finally, to get the rear air conditioner and house waterpump replaced. With any luck at all, they will also fix the electrical circuit that quit after they’d been poking around in the fuse box looking for shorts, etc. Unfortunately, the circuit that went out was the one in the [...]
