Tired . . .
Kept trying to do a blog tonight, but after a long night with not much sleep getting us ready to travel this morning, and a great meal with Lynette and Gregg McHenry, and Donna Huffer and Bob Parker this evening, I keep nodding off. So this is it.
We’re safely ensconced at the Lake Conroe Thousand Trails, and I will have more tomorrow.
Saturday Update From The Gate . . .
Well, with our last full day on the gate, we’re all packed up and ready to go. We’ve actually been gate guarding out of the truck for the last several days and it’s worked out pretty well.
I’ve already disconnected water and sewer, so all I have to do is take down the satellite later tonight after all our shows have recorded, and then disconnect from power tomorrow morning right before we leave. I’m going to go ahead and pull out of the way and into the pad so the new guards can pull right in.
Then, once we go over some specifics about the gate, we’ll have the official “Passing of the Logs” ceremony and then we can be on our way. And to Jan’s delight, it’s probably going to be closer to 10am when we leave rather than noon.
Our first stop will be the Buc-ee’s over in Madisonville, for diesel and breakfast kolaches. Then it’s on down to Huntsville to the Two Texans Truck Wash to hopefully get all the drilling mud washed off before we arrive at the Lake Conroe Thousand Trails later in the afternoon.
Jan’s already got supper planned at the El Bosque Mexican Restaurant in Conroe, our favorite local place.
