ONE HOT DAY!

Last night it dropped to just 19C for a low and today it was 31C with no breeze at all making it even hotter. We noticed it is usually windy here in Texas which we find out is a good thing, since it keeps the bugs down.

 For breakfast I bbq'ed bacon and eggs so not to heat up the coach. We sat out in the shade for the rest of the am. and just took it easy. I talked to a neighbour who just connected a water softener on his coach which simply has two wires that are wrapped around the intake water line and plugged into a 110 outlet on the coach. There is no salt required, it just creates an electrical charge that ties up the calcium and magnesium and causes it to be flushed out with the water. It keeps the pipes, water heater, ice maker, etc. cleaner and makes the water softer. He is the third fellow on the street who has bought one of these units. So Cathy and I are planning on buying one as well. This would eliminate the drinking of salt with the water which is a good thing.


In the pm. we hit the pool again and made it back in time for the neighbourhood happy hour. I am thinking I may have to go into detox when we return to Canada.


Til tomorrow.....  

SATURDAY'S BLOG ON SUNDAY

It was hot yesterday with a high of 31C and the low Friday night was 19C.

In the am. we had to p/u our tire covers at the flea market and Cathy had her hair cut at Wal-mart. In the pm. we headed for the pool, staying cool there and returning in time for happy hour with the neighbours.

                                              Custom made tire covers - a great fit.


                                                              More flea market pics.





 After dinner we attended the Saturday night dance with a country/western band. You bring your own booze and can buy the pop there. They provide ice and popcorn. Everyone there had obviously taken dance lessons at the resort so Cathy and I did our own thing. The dance runs from 7-10.


All for now, going to cook breakfast on the BBQ.
