Wheels within Wheels . . .
I spent most of the late morning and afternoon working on a new website for a client, trying to get it finished up and online before we travel tomorrow.
I’ve still got more more to do on the wheel logo, but it’s pretty much done. Except as usual, I’m waiting on content from the client. In the past I described this as like pulling teeth. But at least they’re not my teeth.
I’ve still got some more work to do on the wheel logo. I want to completely outline the all the struts in yellow so it will stand out more from the background. I’ve been looking for a way to automate this, but I may end up doing it one pixel at a time. We’ll see.
Later in the afternoon I went outside and stowed away the sewer and water hoses, prepping for our trip back to Colorado River Thousand Trails tomorrow morning I first filled the fresh water tank so we’d have enough for our showers tonight and tomorrow morning.
But back inside I discovered that I had a water pump problem. Or at least I think I do. I’m not getting much flow from the pump, but since shore water works OK and the fresh water tank fills pretty quickly, I suspect the inline filter on the pump may be clogged. But I’ll wait until Colorado River to check it out So for now I went back outside and hooked the shore water back up.
For dinner tonight Jan fixed Crockpot Spaghetti and Meatballs, along with a salad and garlic bread. Really good.
A couple of weeks ago I talked about how they’re finally starting to clear the snow from the Beartooth Highway.
You can read it here – Bearteeth and Landstars. And you can read about our drive along the route in 2011 with our friends Al and Adrienne Cox here:
The Last Time I Was At 11,000 Feet, I Was In A Plane
Well, this video shows how they do it. Check it out.

Well, It’s Official . . .
Sunday morning, Jan and I are moving back to the Colorado River Thousand Trails for a week before being back at the Lake Conroe TT on May the 8th.
This will put us back on our regular two week schedule richoceting between Lake Conroe and Colorado River. We mayreschedule a trip back here later in the month, but on our terms, and not weather-dictated.
Jan was looking over her book list, and counted that she’s read 70 Kindle books since the first of the year. Luckily a lot of them come from the Harris County Public Library System. Jan got a library card from there a couple of months ago, and the way she reads, it’s certainly cheaper than actually paying for them. Nice!
Unfortunately it looks like more rain is moving in, with more thunderstorms predicted for this Sunday in the Columbus area. So I hope we don’t get rained out again.
What we watch:
Except for Fargo, we’re finally caught up all the stuff we DVR’d while we were on the gate last year. One of the reasons it took this long is that we keep picking up new shows to watch.
Most recently we got hooked on The Catch, a really good cat ‘n mouse game on ABC. In a way it’s kind of a Romeo and Juliet story, with a family of con artists vying with a corporate security company. The kicker is that one of the con men is in love with one of the female owners of the security company, even as they are sometimes butting heads. A good show with a lot of twists and turns.
The Magicians – College students studying at Brakehills University, a college of magic. Kind of Harry Potter and Hogwarts, but on steroids and more violent.
Stitchers – Government agency that investigates murders by using a machine that can tap into a dead person’s last memories to find out who killed them.
Lucifer – Lucifer, the fallen angel who rules over hell, gets bored and visits Earth. He finds out he likes it here, and stays to help a female police officer so he can punish evil-doers.
Only 2 Days left on this special, so don’t miss out.

Limitless – An FBI consultant uses NZT, a pill that can increase your mind’s abilities a hundred fold, to help solve crimes. But without an immune shot, the pills can kill him. And his enemies control the immune shot.
Supergirl – Another comic book character come to life, but very well done.
iZombie – Zombies are real, but caused by a tainted illegal drug. A female surgeon is infected and becomes a medical examiner to have access to brains. But eating brains of murder victims gives her glimpses of how they were killed, so she helps the police solve crimes.

For dinner tonight we had salad with a great dressing from a recipe Lynn Cross gave Jan, and the rest of the crockpot Beef Stew fleshed out with some of the extra veggies we got yesterday. Really good!
