Typical Texas . . .
Since nothing much happened today, I thought I’d recount some of the things we bought from Amazon recently.
This is an RV water hose WiFi remote-controlled switch. It allows you to turn your shore water on and off without going outside. From anywhere in the world.
Just hook it up in line with your water hose, plug in the repeater unit, download the app, and you’re ready to go. Much more convenient to be able to turn the water on and off when I’m doing a plumbing repair in the rig.
This is a solid-state mini-fridge that holds 6 cans of soda and keeps them just a couple of degrees above freezing. And gives me a frosty can of Coke Zero whenever I want one.
Apparently it’s also uses to keep makeup cool in hotter climes.
This a 2000 piece screw assortment, with one tray for SAE, one for Metric, and one tray for Wood Screws. And the 3 trays connect together as one unit.
No more digging through a coffee can for that one screw or nut you need.
We use this for quickly frothing up milk/creamer for our morning coffee.
If you’re like us, you always have those little slivers of soap left over from the big bar that you hate to throw away, or those little hotel bars you bring home from your travels. These are the perfect answer for that.
Just stuff all those little pieces into the bag, pull it tight, (we also use a stainless steel safety pin) and you have a great soap-filled scrubby. And we been using the same one for over 6 months so they last a long time.
This weekend we’ll have some more typical Texas winter weather, with a high on Saturday of 85° and a low that night of 35. That’s a 50 degree temperature swing! And then down to 32° Sunday.
Welcome to Texas.
Thought For The Day:
The Truth does not mind being questioned.
A Lie does not like being challenged.

Mo’ Pho . . .
I mentioned before that since we didn’t get to see them at Christmas, we were trying to schedule a family get-together date with Chris, Linda, Piper, and Derek sometime this month, and now we have a firm date. We’ll head up to Kingsland on Friday, January 14th and come home on Sunday, the 16th.
Really looking forward to it.
Unlike most Tuesdays, when we have a lot of errands to run, I guess due to the holidays, we didn’t have much else to do but lunch and a couple of quick stops, And the lunch stop was the Pho Barr up in Webster once again.
After starting off with an order of their Grilled Pork Spring Rolls,
Jan got the Vermicelli Bowl with the Grilled Chicken.
And as I have the last couple of visits, I got the Pho Ga, which is a big bowl of Pho with Chicken.
A lot of chicken. And as usual, really delicious.
We also asked about when their new location down in our area is supposed to open, and were told “sometime in the next few months”. Since they’ve already got the sign up on the front of the building, I’m hoping it will be sooner.
I mean it’s a new Pho restaurant going into the location of an old Pho restaurant. In this case it was the late-lamented Pho 20, a favorite of ours that didn’t survive the CoVid shutdown.
Then coming back down to our area, Jan made a quick HEB visit while I dropped off an Amazon return at the UPS store next door. Then after a quick gas stop we were home about by about 3:45.
A very nice day.
Thought For The Day:
Sometimes the thoughts in my head get so bored they go out for a stroll through my mouth. This is rarely a good thing.
