Oh Hum

Since we can't get out to get pic's, the pics will be of here. This pic is not of the dish for our internet but of the sewer hose of our neighbor, Charlie. He had to make up two 10 footers and a short 5 footer to get there. Yes, that is his connection. And yes, that is my connection. Thats my water bib but not his. Charlie's is to the right by his tv cable bow and electric box. If we come here next year, his space is the one to get because of the "cheaper" electric rate.

Next to us is this tree. The cat LOVES this tree. The birdes come to the tree and he LOVES the birds. He can just taste the bird.

Tomcat spends a good deal of time here looking out of the window. He shares the shelf with the printer and the modem and router.

I took some TV pics of the place. We are able to see on the tv what is happening around the park. There is a front gate moniter, rec hall, pool hall, east pool, shuffleboard area, and the golf course area including the starters shack on the #1 tee box.

I will post these over the next few days instead of how the weather is.

Temp: 50*, forecast of 52* light winds and cloudy overcast. Beats being in west AZ from what I've been reading. FL is sun and warm and looking at some "resorts" there, $1000 per month.

Its Still Cold But The End Is In Sight

BRRRRRRRRRRR. Warm South Texas got hit pretty hard. We did get to freezing down here. There has been, so far, no talk of a damaging freeze. All this was wednesday night. The high for wednesday was the lower to mid 30's depending on where you were.

Over night it was 35 with cloudy skies and a chance of rain. Current temp is 36, high so far is 37. I'm sure all those winter Texans are wondering as to what is going on. Looking head, it will be past next wednesday before it gets back to the 60's. The temps will crawl up to the 40's and 50's till then with chance of rain and cloudy skies. Again, BRRRRRRRRRRR.

We do go to the pool hall and shoot pool once or maby twice a day. It does get busy. There is seven very nice tables to use. They have the same as seen on the tv pool tournaments. There is men and women pool times and tournaments.

Dutch and Diana, rv travelers, sent me an email about playing a round of golf. They were in Harlingon at the time. Then this cold spell arrived and put a stop to that. I got another email yesterday and they will be moving to a Weslaco park on the 28th. Maybe by then the weather will be playable.

Edit: They will be staying at the Snow to Sun here in Weslaco.

Not anything to post pic wise, to nasty to get out. Right now we have something out there as the concrete is wet. Tomcat does not like this cold either. He spends the night on the electric blanket on the bed and on his pillowduring the day to keep off the floor where its cold. Our inside temp is around 70 so its decent. The floor, walls and ceiling get cold. The shades and front curtains are kept closed to slow the cold draft and cold temps thru the glass.

With this cold air and our not moving, the daily readers has dropped to 50 from 64. We are just not interesting I guess. To you that do stop by daily, thanks. We have you from all over the USA, Canada, England, Middle East, Australia and New Zealand. There are some readers of unknown origin and language that stop by. So HELLO to all of you and thanks for stopping by.

Baby Its Really Cold Outside

the forecast is:

37 high
33 low
34 now
5-15 mph, gust to 34

freeze warning till 9 am tomorrow.

it will get warmer again but not this week. West if San Antonio is more freezing rain. Southern California is freezing cold. We will know more on Florida as time goes by. This has to be the most far reaching cold spell in a long time. Its reaching from the west to the east and south. George is in Baja Sur and its in the 50's there.

For us its sweats and sweaters in the rv. The wind is just filtering in. An rv is not too air tight. Where we are is not possible to drive out of the cold as its cold from coast to coast.

At home its 24, at my dads and brothers in Hobbs, NM its 27. It will be next monday before it gets into the 60's again with sun.

South Texas and the Weather

Watching the weather on tv and its cold ever where. We are having our share of it. Only florida is nice and warm. Guess its time to go to florida.

We have 71 at midnight, 40 now and 39 for the low so far. Our temp on the rv is 42. Outside is winds from the north-east at 15-20 with a 27 gust so far. Our weatherbug is looking at Weslace ISD. We did fill the propane tank saturday in anticaption of the week long cold spell. We had 1/2 a tank and with the cold to be here 2 days before it gets into the 50's, we will be using lots of LPG. Electricity is charged at $0.15 per kwh, we dont have any electric heat running. Should we loose shore power, that might change.

The golf tournny did not go off today. Watching the #1 tee box, there wa s not a crowd. My 10:06 tee time came and went with out me. The course has been closed to play for the day. The next golf day is next week sometime. Between then and now is inside things to do. This includes trips to the pool hall. DW will get in some exercise at the fitness center.

Stew is in the crock pot for today. We made the store and have all we need till next weekend. Stay warm and be carefull if you must go out.
