Tires and Taco Salad . . .
When I got up this morning, I thought it was still nighttime. It had rain off and on thought the night, and was still pretty much black outside when I came out of the bedroom.
And it was 75 degrees. Very nice.
Later in the morning, in between raindrops, I went outside to check the rig’s tire pressures. I had last checked it two months ago right before we left here for Lake Conroe. Normally I check them once a month, but we’ve been parked here for almost 6 weeks so it still works out.
And in checking the pressures, once again I was amazed at how well this Hercules Ironman tires hold air. Each tire was within a pound of 96 pounds. I normally keep them all at 100#, but the last time I measured them at that pressure, it was 95 degrees. So 96# at 75 degrees is just about perfect.
Although a lot of rainy circled all around us, it never rained very heavy for very long. But the nicest part was that the high temperature for the day here was 82 degrees.
Amazing!
For dinner tonight Jan fixed up one of her delicious Taco Salads. She cooked up a pound of ground chuck with some onions, added fresh sliced jalapenos, and along with salad greens, sliced cherry tomatoes, black beans, and shredded cheese, layered it all over a bed of chips and topped it off with Salsa.
Really, really good.
And of course we had some of last night’s Pineapple Angel Food Cake for dessert.
Tomorrow we’ll leave her about 11am for the drive down to the Clear Lake area to have lunch with our son Chris and DIL Linda. And hopefully Miss Piper too.
Then on the way back we’ll probably stop in to say Hi at Brandi, Lowell, and Landon’s for a few minutes.
Thought for the Day:
“It is necessary, then, in order to seize authority in a republic and imprint an evil form upon it, to find that the social fabric has broken down over time, and that little by little and from generation to generation, it has been thrown into disorder; this will come about by necessity, when it is not often renewed by good examples or by new laws to bring it back to its beginnings.” – Niccolo Machiavelli circa 1519,
