The regular trip this morning Diane to PT me to do some shopping. Today was a big day, Diane went to PT using just her cane this morning she is really making good progress. She made her now famous low carb lasagna; it was great. We talked and planned our trip to Houston in the morning.
Tuesday Jan 25
Today was another adventure for us! We were going to Houston to look at a 2007 Winnebago Tour and 2010 Newmar Ventana and leaving first thing this morning. We hurried through breakfast and rolled out at 10:00, sound familiar. Stopped for lunch at a Mexican restaurant on way down...it was ok, Diane had the chicken enchilada, and I had the three-burrito sampler, a lot of food and we ate it all. We arrived at Best Preowned RV dealership (parking lot) and was greeted by four or five dogs roaming free. Rudy was going crazy in the truck afraid to get out, we waited for someone to come and assure us it was OK. We spent two hours or more going through the two units. After a while all the info swirls around in your head and you can't keep anything straight. It was after dark by the time we got home, our brains were fried with all the what ifs you think about with big decisions like this. Good news Diane had a roast in the crock pot, the Moho smelled great, and diner was ready.

Off to PT I went to the grocery store like always to get iced tea and found some expiring T-bone steaks on sale for half price, so I bought them and few other things. Her PT is costing us more and more money as I shop the whole time she is at PT. After lunch we called the RV dealer told them we would take the 2010 Ventana (after one more visit, test drive etc.). After that we sat and stressed over the decision we just 'almost' made. A nice day, a little windy and sunny so we had steak (which was delicious) and salad for dinner. Then we stressed some more.

Propane tank ran out last night so after breakfast I went to Jasper for propane and to get an oil change in the truck. Stopped at a propane place the lady comes out notices the tank is out of date but for ten bucks she can recertify I say OK she opens the valve and no can do seems valve is leaking. I need a new tank, off to Tractor supply no tank, then Lowes no tank, then local hardware store, no tanks so I quit and go get the oil changed. While the truck is in the shop, I called Diane and she checks other local propane places seems no one has tanks. I get done with the oil change and head home. By the time I get back she found just one guy who has one tank, and he is 20 miles north. Tomorrow I'll get propane had enough driving for one day. Burgers on the grill for dinner. Stressing over Moho

Diane went to PT by herself, yep, she drove into town while Rudy and I held down the fort. Eric came over some guy on site 38 had limbs rubbing on his camper roof so we went over trimmed them up and cleaned up. By then Diane had made a successful return from PT she was all proud of herself. We had lunch celebrating her accomplishment. Next trick of the day was to get the propane tank from the place she found some 20 miles north of here. I put the address into my phone and off I went. First, I'm rolling down this two-lane road speed limit 75mph a nice day window down, wind in my hair, 😊you got the picture. I notice this sign "road narrows". Well, it didn't just narrow in a 100yds it turned to gravel then to a driveway I slam on the brakes and take a hard left and grab my phone. The GPS voice was not working, I should have been turning there anyway just not at 75mph. Back on track I make a few more turns watching the GPS and get to the spot, no propane business and there is nothing at all except a rundown mobile home, I'm not getting out of the truck. I called Diane for better directions; no phone service, mean time she is trying to call to see if I made it or not. I finally get to a hilltop and have phone service. I call her, get direction and try it again. Still can't find it. Finally stopped and asked a guy where it was, and I could hardly understand him but did manage to hear U-Haul and he pointed left. Back in the truck found the place purchased the tank and off to the Moho. The 45-minute trip turned into a 2 1/2-hour ordeal. But it was a nice day!

A nice morning, the wind died off and sunny. Temp's still in the mid 30's but sunny and calm with a high in the mid 50's. We just can't spend a day without running somewhere. Today I went to Jasper to get a new meat thermometer seems 'someone' put in the sink to get washed, battery and all. And I needed to pick up three items from the grocery store. I picked up meat thermometer at Lowes, went to the store, wine was on sale, so I picked some up and forgot to get one of three items we needed. Back to the Moho Diane had made rounds and put out all the tags. After lunch I cleaned the bathrooms, finished the work chores for the day. We all walked for a while, Diane not as much as Rudy and me, but she made it partway. Dry rub Ribs for diner. YUM. Stressing over Moho.

Another nice day. A cooked breakfast then I took Rudy and made a quick trip around the campground, checked the bathrooms they were good. Meanwhile Diane did a load of laundry, stripped the bed and another load of laundry in. We have been gathering things for our trip tomorrow down to Houston. She is going to PT then Rudy and I will meet her, hook up the truck and head to Grand Texas RV Resort. This is the end of our work shift and not much going on, checked in 3 camper and 7 left today. Starting the beginning March we won't have to clean the restroom. Can't wait. We made a stuffed deer tenderloin stuffed with jalapeno cream cheese and wrapped with bacon. Oh YUM.
