Is it Wet and Cold, or Cold and Wet?
After another cold, wet morning, and another wet, cold afternoon (it never got out of the 30’s all day), about 4pm Jan and I headed up to Peter’s BBQ in Ellinger to have the Friday night BBQ buffet, always a favorite of ours. I mean how can you not like all the Beef Brisket, Sausage, Ribs, Fried Catfish, Fried Shrimp, Fried Chicken, Fried Froglegs, Hushpuppies, ten different vegetable sides, and eight different salads. and three or four different desserts, you can eat. Plus a soft ice cream machine.
And our total bill, with drinks, was only $22.07. Nice!
Finally waddling away from the buffet, we dropped a letter off at the Ellinger PO, and then drove up to La Grange to get a few things from the Wal-Mart there, finally getting home about 6:30.
Tomorrow we’ve got a round-about trip down to the Clear Lake area, leaving here about 9:30am. Along the way we’ll stop off in the Pasadena area to pick up a client’s dead computer, before finally heading down to Webster. Among the plans, lunch with our kids, make the last payment and close out our storeroom account, get a haircut (both of them), and check out a new RV park in the area. Then heading home later in the afternoon, we’ll stop off at Brandi and Lowell’s for dinner, and also to pick up the client’s new computer that should be delivered there tomorrow.
So all in all, a busy day.
We have had a little bit of encouraging news from Galveston Bay RV Park. It sounds like they’re actually making some progress on the electrical situation with the new sites, so maybe we’ll get down this year after all.
I’ve mentioned some of this before, but for you Photoshop aficionados, or you Photoshop newbies, or wantabes, I’ve come across some great tutorial sites for you to take a look at.

Don’t have a copy of Photoshop and think it’s too expensive? You can go here:
http://www.techspot.com/downloads/3689-adobe-photoshop-cs2.html
and download a free, licensed version of Photoshop CS2 for either Windows or Mac. It’s about 340 MB and took me less than 30 minutes to download on a 3G connection. Be sure and grab the License Serial Number further down the page.
As far as my ‘To Do’ list goes, it looks like Monday and Tuesday should be halfway decent with no rain, and temps in the 50’s, so hopefully I’ll be able to get some stuff done outside. But we’ll see.
