Cough, Cough ?
We did get our first 1 mile walk in this morning, but like the other day’s walk, we called the second loop on account of wind. Very high winds. But at least we got a mile in.
Just as we got back, I got a call from our daughter Brandi giving us a heads up because she had come down with Strep Throat. For us the incubation period is 2 to 5 days with an average of 3.
We haven’t seen Brandi since Super Bowl Sunday so we’re coming up on the middle of the period with no symptoms so far. But we’ll know more in the next couple of days, I guess.
Getting back to the rig, we had a breakfast with our leftover omelet on leftover biscuits from our recent Schobel’s visits. Along with our coffee, a really good breakfast.
Later, about 2pm, I put in a call to Schneider Welding to see if my screen door hinge was done. ‘Henry’ said it was not finished yet.
I assume that this meant he hadn’t even started it yet, since I figure it shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes at the most. Just clamp it into a vise, grind down the old welds, bend it back to a 90° angle, and weld it up.
I reminded him I needed it by Friday since we were leaving Sunday, the 14th, and he said he’d have it ready.
We’ll see.
We’re getting our usual Texas winter weather about now, with a low of 33 degrees last night, and then today, with the bright sun, the AC’s were coming on in the rig.
Could be much worse of course, with multi-feet of snow, or even down in Florida with Nick where it’s raining everyday.
Tomorrow we’re going on a roadtrip over to Fredericksburg, about 190 miles away. It’s not exactly close, but of course, closer than if we did from Lake Conroe. Normally we’ll visit on our way out west, but since we’re going east this year, this may be our only chance.
One thing we definitely want to do while we’re there is to have lunch at Der Lindenbaum, a really good German restaurant, and a must-eat on every visit. Then we’ll wander the streets for awhile, checking out all the shops.
Then at some point we’ll take a side trip out to Wildseed Farms, about 5 miles east of Fredericksburg. We always enjoy walking the grounds and checking out all the cats that live there.
My National General insurance policy through our agent’s Chris and Charles Yust of C and C RV Insurance renews next month, and I was kind of antsy anticipating what my new rate was going to be. After our $20,000+ repair bill last summer resulting from our blowout in Arizona, I could see my rate going through the roof. But it only went up about $30 a month. Not bad at all.
Great agents and a great company.
