Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[BigAl52]

Is that motorhome comin to Texas next year?

Not sure. Usually every third year we go to Florida to see Carol's family. She has two brothers and a sister there.
She hasn't told me yet.
I really like Texas the best though. My friend who is usually camped at Aransas Pass has suffered a stroke and the
last two years they have entertained us in Sunrise Beach at their house. He is partially recovered but cannot drive
anymore.

Tell Carol you have family in Texas you need to go see. Bring the shotgun to will go bust some clays. We shoot 22 also

One of the granddaughter’s birthday today, made her an angel food cake with fresh strawberries. She’s on the fourth grade girl’s basketball team. She is one of the shorter girls on the team but they think she is the scrappiest so they call her the gremlin. They made her a t-shirt called the Gremlin Mode.

Good morning, well the Lord seen fit to let me wake up again this AM.
It's 67 outside with an 11 mph breeze out of the south with a predicted high of around 81.

The weather guesser on local TV says my part of South Carolina may see 91F or so this afternoon. They are already giving advice on how to avoid heat problems. In mid-April. Well, think of the money we save on snow shovels and snow blowers.

Holy cow, winter has returned. It’s 28 on my thermometer here at home and the official Deer Park current temp is 22. Nuts. But along with these cold temps we get to enjoy sunshine. Originally we were leaving for camp tomorrow but postponed a couple of days because we saw these temps coming.

Leaving here shortly to take my neighbors to the airport in Spokane. They are heading to England for a couple of months. Sucks to be them .

We had planned to head up to shooting camp on Thursday but as the lows up there are expected to be in the mid 20’s until Saturday we delayed our departure until Saturday. Those 20’s would burn up our limited propane supply for the furnace quickly. We do have a heat pump that runs off ac but it’s very loud.

We've camped in the 20s many times and your heat pump won't work well below 40 degrees or so. We always carry a small electric radiant heater with us wherever we go. It does have a fan and will put out a lot of heat and save a lot of propane.
Course you need electric hook ups or run your genset.

Thanks on the info about the heat pump not working well below 40. I thought about bringing a portable electric heater along but decided not to. Two dogs with one being a puppy might be a problem and thankfully starting Saturday night the temps become more normal for this time of the year with lows in the 30’s not the 20’s.

It was a muggy and misty 74° this morning on the dog walk. My oldest son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter came in from Omaha last night. Their flight was supposed to have arrived in Houston Hobby at about 5:30 but unfortunately, a bird got sucked up into one of the engines. They had to deplane and wait for mechanics and engineer's to inspect it before they could resume. The got in about 2:00 this morning.

now she's a little doll ..

not so pretty morning with really nice 81 degree temp .... after breakfast we went over to a local city park and walked something over a half mile .... took Maureen's pup with us which has to desire to walk in anything vaguely resembling a orderly pace in pretty much a straight pace .... after getting back home I worked on reorganizing the camper's basement .... yep, I've mentioned doing that several times in the not too distance past .... I'll probably end up doing it over and over until we get on the road to South Dakota
