Last Day in the Hill Country…
Today’s our last full day here in the Texas Hill Country, and, although we’ve had a great time during our 10 days here with our friend Gina, we’ve both got hitch itch so bad that I think I’ve actually got a rash.
At least I hope it’s from the hitch itch!
This morning we picked up Gina about 10:30 am and headed into San Marcos to have lunch at Red Lobster. Jan loves their Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
After lunch we drove over to the feed store in Sattler and picked up 160# of raccoon (dog) food. Apparently Purina doesn’t make Raccoon Chow, so dog food it is.
Getting back to Gina’s I cleaned up my tools and stuff, and took some photos of my deck project.
Here’s the ceiling fan I installed on the deck.
Here’s one of the flood lights. One points out into the yard, and the other lights the front of the deck.
Here’s the other light. One light illuminates the parking area to the right, and the other one lights the deck from the other side.
This is the waterproof switch box that controls the lights. The orange extension cord is not part of the switch box.
This is the connector box that hooks everything into the power.
And here’s where Gina moved the hummingbird feeder, away from the new ceiling fan, hoping to forgo that messy ‘hummingbird cuisinart” effect.
About 4:30 pm we headed over to the Lucky Sailor Restaurant on Canyon Lake for dinner. Jan had the Hot Wings, Gina had Fried Shrimp & Oysters, and I had a Grilled Chicken Breast. All good.
Dropping Gina off at her place, we said our goodbyes and headed back to the rig. Jan fed the last of the corn to the deer and we were in for the night.
Tomorrow we’ll head north on I-35 to a little past Waco for the night. I thought about going all the way to Dallas, but didn’t find any RV parks along our route that I was happy with.
More tomorrow…
