Good morning!!!!

[daugen]

safe and sound in Giddings TX. First went to local Walmart but they don't have fresh food. Then went to Brookshire Bros and got what I needed. Then gassed up at Chevron.
This park is superficially fine, but no one at office.
sign saying back in three days. Really? I saw the lawn mower guy and he said just find an empty spot which I did. Second call to office was answered, I hadn't paid yet and she said she was in Georgia. She'd better hope the honesty system works here.

site is ok, but not level, lifted front wheels off ground a little.\
now time for long hot shower and nap.
If Kyle wants to come over this afternoon for a few minutes, that's always nice but hadn't planned on that today, he is a busy guy and I knew about the football game.
The valve handle can certainly wait until tomorrow. Will take 60 seconds, either it goes in or not. If it breaks going in, that may change the day's activities...

not a bad drive over, smooth roads, lots of traffic for a while
will call Kyle in a couple hours

No there are screens I’ve not seen before. And 2 messages from Bruce he might think I ignored, but don’t remember seeing.

To me, Like is just a step below replying.

Frits D is going to have very volatile territory.

yes--- Would prefer some safer territory for sure. I think she feels that she has something to contribute. Her travels in the region and time at American University in Cairo as well as one of her professors a former CIA director inspired her. Also her two tours to Aghanistan contributed.

what a fun afternoon and Kyle is my new RV hero.
we determined the valve was completely jammed and had to be replaced. Thankfully I had a spare valve and Kyle had just the right tools to get it done. At first it would not come out but some concerted muscling got it done. And no dreaded sound of breaking plastic. In fact the operation went basically flawlessly and so thankful Kyle didn't get covered in my you know what. He was a real trooper to help with this.

then off we went to the town of Serbin s/w of here, where a German lutheran sect named the Wends settled. Apparently Don is related way back when. Very nice museum, and the church was lovely, with pretty blue and white colors inside. St Paul Lutheran.

Kyle took me past his home in the country, very nice area.

David, good news on Sophie. All the better to keep an eye on you...

now a short nap, didn't get one today since we really needed to focus on the
plumbing. Kyle is headed to his son's football game shortly.
we'll figure out something to do tomorrow. This place doesn't forbid rv washing so maybe early tomorrow while it's cool I can work on the bugs with a hose and scrubber.
Big Texas bugs.

need to ask our resident expert PJS,
what kind of organ pipes are they?
I was surprised to see an organ in this church

We just had a quick little thunder boomer go through. All the cats headed for the basement. It is over now and the lights are still on.

I need to get a hold of my buddy and see what days he is available in November, if we can get that sorted out then I can make the appointment for the functional assessment.

91 degrees in Giddings Texas
just polished off the last of Don's lasagna and then
topped that off with piece of home made apple pie
made by Kyle's wife and brought to me by Kyle.
I get pie and a fixed septic system, such a deal.

and what pie, lots of cinnamon which I love, and the crust, the
crust one could write sonnets about.
Kyle please tell your wife she makes the best pie crust in Lee County
of course it's the first pie crust in Lee County I've had but I'm certain
it must be the best
despite Sat morning weigh in I ate that whole big piece she sent.
once you started something that good
you know you surely enjoy the moment
the flaky firm crust, nice fruit flavor

Don's lasagna was so good I asked for some to go.
Might just be some more apple pie around here...though with three kids
I can't imagine an apple pie lasting long.

It has been so long since I"ve had ice cream. Anyone make their own ice cream in Giddings? Need lots of dairy cows for that and I'm seeing more of four legged steaks around here.

I tried some almond milk at Don's. It was ok, a little thick, would need to be very cold, and I just buy organic 2% and I perhaps should feel forever guilty in not spending the extra two bucks to allow Bessie free ranging and a stall with her name on it When things come from animals, it is usually more appealing to me to not think of the exact source. But buying organic hopefully keeps me away from most of the bad pesticides. But not all.

I'd like a pill to get rid of all the forever chemicals in my body.
that would be quite the flush.

it was a fine day in Texas today.
