Better than Sex, or so Nick says…
We left the rig about 12:45 pm and headed over to Gina’s. Jan said she wishes that they would hurry up and move the cows back to the other pastures, since now she has to get out and open three cattle gates instead of the normal one.
I worked on getting the light fixtures installed, wired up, and tested. Since the fan is done, all I have left to do is to get the switch box wired up. I could have gotten further but i ran out of wire twist nuts, so I’ll have to restock.
About 4:30 we headed out for dinner at Rockin’ R Steakhouse in Blanco. A very good meal. The steaks were delicious.
We dropped Gina off at her place (3 more cattle gates) and then headed home.
As we were leaving we encountered the turkeys again. And this time I got better photos.
We got home a little after 7, and of course, Jan had to feed the deer. But the deer seemed to have left town for the holiday because for the first time there weren’t any around.
Tomorrow we going to pick Gina up around 9 am and drive over to Fredericksberg for the day. We also want to eat at our favorite German restaurant, Der Lindenbaum while we;re there.

Wet, wet wet…
Well, we really lucked out. When I went down the the park office this morning, they said that with all the rain we’ve had and are supposed to have, we didn’t have to stay on day to day, but could go ahead and sign up thru next Wednesday. Yeah!
With the 4-5 inches of rain we’ve had the last few days, I’m really glad we’re parked on gravel, rather than grass or dirt. The way the ground is soaked it might be fun trying to get out of here.
We had put out our ‘Honey Wagon’ placard on the windshield so we were happy to see them show up early this morning. We’re allowed to run our grey water out on the ground, but our black tank was starting to get kind of full.
We picked up Gina about 1 pm and drove into San Marcos for lunch and shopping. Lunch was at Furr’s Buffet. Furr’s used to be a cafeteria, but is now a buffet, even though you still go through a line, You can go back through the line as many times as you want, though.
Next we went to Sam’s Club for our prescriptions and some other stuff. Leaving there I ran into Lowe’s to pick up a few more electrical box connectors,
Then it was on to Walmart for more shopping.
Coming back to Gina’s about 5:30 pm we came across the large flock of turkeys we saw the other day. This cellphone photo isn’t the best, but it does show how large the flock is. I counted over 30 before they disappeared into the tall grass. There appears to be 4 or 5 adults with the rest being young ones.
We finally got back to the rig about 6. Nick Russell called and we spent some time solving all the world’s problems. Unfortunately no one listens to us.
