FireCrackers . . .
Jan fixed a new appetizer / snack a couple of days ago and they’re so good I thought I’d pass on the recipe in Jan’s Favorite Recipes.
They’re called Alabama Fire Crackers, and you ought to give them a try.
About 1pm I put in a call to the Colorado River TT to see what their schedule is for reopening. Ideally we would like to move back there this coming Sunday, a week earlier than we had originally planned. That way we can split up the 300 mile trip back to Conroe on May 8th. Even if we can’t go back to Colorado River this weekend, we’ll try to go back at least a day or so early on the trip back to Lake Conroe.
i mentioned last week that I had found one of my old GPS modules for my Delorme Street Atlas program. Karma the Cat had chewed the USB connector off the one I had been using, and I was going to try to repair it, but then I found my old one.
But when I used it this past Sunday on our trip over here from Lake Conroe, I quickly found out why I had retired it. It takes between 3 to 5 minutes to lockup on the satellites, while the cat-chewed one only takes 15 to 30 seconds.
Maybe I’ll rethink repairing that one.
Only 3 Days left on this special, so don’t miss out.

About 4pm Jan and I drove into downtown Lakehills (downtown is 3 stores and a gas station) to pick up a few things We stopped off at Dave and Lynn Cross’ to see if they needed anything before they leave tomorrow, but they were good.
Although not a lot larger than a regular convenience store, it is a full grocery store, and very well stocked, including produce and meats. Jan got some salad stuff and a loaf of wheat bread and a couple of French bread sticks, as well as a couple of potatoes and some carrots to flesh out the last of the other day’s Beef Stew. And they were giving away free Lemon Pepper Beef Jerky. What’s not to like?
These last couple of trips I’ve started dumping our tanks at a different time. Previously I have always dumped both tanks right before we left. We have no problem going 14 days between black tank dumps so that’s not a problem
But now I dump a scoop of cheap laundry powder in the toilet right before we leave, and let it slosh around on the trip. Then when we arrive and set up, I then dump the tanks, and use our rig’s built-in tank flush system to clean it all out.
Between the detergent and the flush, it really seems to clean things out.
Finishing up, now that our son-in-law Lowell has started up his own freight company at LowellsLogistics.com, it looks like Landon has decided to also get into the transportation business and start his own Uber company.
