I'm thinking of heading south instead of west. It's been so dreary and cold here in Houston, and I'm thinking Hondo is west, not south, so what're the chances of getting warmer weather heading west? If I didn't have the dogs with me it wouldn't matter so much, but I've got to be able to get them out more often and I can't when it's this cold. I'm such a wimp; I really can't tolerate weather extremes any more. I know I despise this humidity: I've got heat rash from perspiring so much. I emailed an inquiry of availability to a park in Rockport, TX, this morning but haven't heard from them yet. Ah, well, I could have worse problems.
I've got, Got, GOT to go get the oil changed in the SUV. Even if it's not going anywhere but to park at Cynthia's, I'll feel better knowing I'm leaving it in good condition and on maintenance schedule. There's a Pennzoil garage in Katy (7 miles away) that's rarely busy. Better get it done today.
Speaking of Cynthia, I checked in at her house Saturday and got my mail: the meds and the pants arrived, so I'm cleared to leave. I guess now I'll worry about the damn 1099s until they get to Houston, get forwarded to me, and sent to the accountant. If it ain't one thing, it's another, huh?
This weekend was clear, sunshiny, and cold. The RV Park was pretty soggy from recent heavy rains. Every time you walk on the grass, you sink in to water. My feet were cold all weekend. I had bought a little space heater and it's pretty much worthless. I guess the manufacturer made sure it wouldn't start a fire, because it won't heat me unless it's about 12" from me. Pretty much worthless, like I said. Its cord is short, too. Definitely not made for use in a place where all the electrical outlets are at least three feet off the floor. Bummer. A poster from the online forum I talk to frequently suggested I check Lowe's or Home Despot for a decent heater and I think I will.
On my way back from Camping World last Friday, I saw a huge flock of geese in a field on the north side of I-10 just east of Brookshire. Rice used to be grown in this area and the local fields (I don't know what they raise now) had been plowed. What with the recent rains, it must have looked like a lake from the air. There were hundreds of geese. I also saw three deer in a small wooded area between I-10 and Hwy. 90 the other day. Poor darlings, they were caught between two open fields. I can't imagine how they survive.
PM/PS: Note to self: Ford Focus, manual shift, is suggested as a good toad. Check into something called the "Superbumper". Woodall's latest issue has an article about it.
