Where Am I . . .

After coffee and muffins this morning, I made a call to Jamie at Gate Guard Services to let him know we were in the area and available for a gate the first part of next week. He said he had several things in the works and would let us know. Otherwise call him next Monday. Sounds good.

In getting ready for our gate guarding, I ordered a couple of these Vent Fan Insulated Vent Covers to help keep the heat out of the coach when it’s 100+ degrees outside. On past gates you could feel the heat coming down from the vents, so hopefully this will help.

I haven’t found anything yet for the skylight over the shower, so I may have to put something together for that.

Our son Chris came by about 4:30 to say ‘Hi’ and show off his new Yamaha bike and trailer. He was on his way up to Inks Lake north of Austin, and just west of Burnet.

Nice ride. He and some of his fellow firemen are planning on taking a week-long bike trip out west this fall, and he’s trying to get in some riding time to get ready.

We had planned to be down in Webster tomorrow for Jan’s breast cancer follow up checkup, but she realized this afternoon that her appointment is Wednesday afternoon, not tomorrow.

Whenever we do go down, we’ll at least be cool. Brandi and Lowell offered us the use of their truck for the trip. Really nice of them.

I came across this new app (at least it’s new to me) on an app site called Where Am I? It’s simple but kind of neat.

It shows where you are, the address, the city, the zip code. and a lot of other info.
