Recuperating . . .

After several days of early risings, I finally got to sleep in this morning, made much nicer by the steady rain on the rig’s roof.

It’s nice to just set back for awhile and do not much of anything. After coffee and toast, I spent the morning catching up on some web stuff that was delayed during our recent traveling.

Then I started looking through some recent ads I’d seen for gate guard openings. I’m also trying to track down a listing I saw recently for wind farm gate guarding jobs in OK. I know I saved it off somewhere.

About 2pm I went down to the park office to settle up for our stay here. We used up our 50 free days a good while ago, since we alternated between Colorado River and Lake Conroe every two weeks. So now we’re paying $5 day plus $3 a day for 50 amps. So we’re paying $8 day, still a very good deal.

Of course our projected 12 day stay here may get cut short if we get a gate in the meantime.

This coming Saturday is Landon’s 6th birthday, and Brandi is having his party at the Main Event Entertainment Center in Katy. With bowling, bocce ball, billiards, laser tag, and a rock climbing wall, it’s got something for everyone. Should be fun.

We got Landon a couple of robot kits for his gifts, a Table Top Robot Crab that runs around the table top and when it senses the edge, turns and goes in another direction,

and a Solar Powered Transforming Robot that makes a number of different units.

They’re both for 8 years and up, but he’s really good at building up the animated Lego kits so I suspect he’ll have no trouble with these either.
