A Front is Coming with a Big Change in the Weather

As most of you know, there is a front crossing the midwest and we are going to get part of it. The weather forcasters done here are looking at monday morning arrival. The probable high will be at sunday midnight about 60. Looking past monday into thursday its rain, cold and windy. Yesterday thru sunday we will have winds 15-25 with gusts. And its cloudy with periods of sprinkles and rain.
We will make the store and dump tanks by sunday. I do have to replace the collar connection to he dump valves. The rubber seal, the one inside, leaked the last time we dumped. We are not due any freezing temps but it may get into the upper 30's. The high monday during the day is in the 40's. I guess we need to go to Mexico to get warm weather. Could be worse.

Food here or The Lack of Quality

We have been out to eat several times and we are not happy customers. We have gone to Luby's, King Chinese buffet, two Mexican eateries, Pizza Hut and Popeye's Chicken. So far we have found that the Mexican food is difficult to make here. Not the usual Tex-Mex which is difficult to find also. Last night we went to Fiesta here in Weslaco on bus83 and we got the round Doritos from the bag, a cheese dip, and a puree', in a blender, dip with added onions and cylantro. There were no sliced tomatoes, just a juice. The meal was not much better. The other Mexican place was in Mercedes just north of bus83 in a small strip with parking. As we discussed, it seems it is difficult to make Mexican food down here. We don't recomend either as a place to eat.

The Popeyes was good but is now closed. I guess cajin food does not go well here. The Luby's was good food. This one is in Weslaco along the US83. The Chinese buffet was good and had lots to select from. They say there is a choice of 100 items. We will go back there. It is located by the HEB at US83 and Texas. The pizza was at the Pizza Hut by Wal-mart on Texas at US83 in Weslaco.

If any of our readers have suggested place to eat we would like to hear from you. Other wise its stay at home. Oh, yes, the food here at the park should be catered. Not that good and too expensive. Our opinion and that of those that DO NOT attend the noon and wednesday evening buffet.

I did get a pretty good haircut at Jerry's in downtown Wesleco. $7.00 plus tip and they shave around the ears.
