A Little Slow, but keeping busy!!

 Not much happening in the last ten days or so but here are the highlights anyway the best we can remember. Pay attention to the gas prices. 

Wednesday 23 February 2022
Today was a fun day.  We went to Lufkin ate lunch Tia Juanita's it was pretty good, hit a coin store, antique store, Walgreens, truck accessory store. Home Depot and lastly was gas at 3.15 gal 

Thursday 

Ranger Sophie dropped off four site marker posts and equipment to pound them in. I guess she didn't want to overwhelm us with supplies for 110 sites. She is in her mid 20's probably figures we are old or something.

Friday

Diane had P/T Cold and windy spent the day in the Moho.

Rudy won't let me
throw the old bed
quilt away!!




Saturday

  Cool with drizzle and wind.  We were hiding in the Moho most of the day but couldn't take any more. We finally went out and put in 24 site post just to get out of the Moho.


Brad can finally keep himself busy!



Sunday


    Cold rainy, drizzle, windy again stayed in the Moho most of the day. I went out long enough to clean the grill thoroughly took about an hour.

Monday

  Worked, started our three-day stint.  We cleaned off pads for section opening March 1st.  We found 3 sites with no electric, not even an electric box and all three have reservations next month.  This should be good trying to rearraigning people as they show up.

Tuesday 1 March 2022

Workday.  The weather is getting nice, so we worked outside all day.  I worked on signposts and Diane made all the rounds and did check ins. First day and she had to rearraigned two campers that had the sites with no electric boxes. She had to make an emergency run to local store for wine somehow, we ran out.  Very nice day, we had a fire and enjoyed the evening.

There is a boater in this pic,
out for a little evening
fishing!!

Wednesday

   The last workday this shift and another gorgeous day.  We worked on signposts just to stay busy, it makes us feel like we are contributing.  So far, we have put in 65 or so posts with about 45 left to go.  It's not hard and we get to talk to a lot of the campers.  Starting March 1st there is a paid contractor who cleans restrooms, firepits and mows around the campsite so we need something to work at.

 Thursday

    First was P/T for Diane. Grocery day, phone call day and just catching up kind of day.  I found a tree to cut up for firewood.   Another campfire and Burgers for dinner.

Friday
   
   The good weather is still holding up.  Diane went to get her hair done and I just puttered around the Moho.  The campground is starting to fill up, 17 checked in yesterday and 27 today and kids everywhere you look.  In the afternoon we went to put numbers and clamps on some posts just to see how it worked, not so well.  Of the first eight post we did we had four of the clamps on backwards and had to drill them out.  But by the time we hit 20 we had it down pat.  Wine by the campfire and Chicken on the grill.

Saturday 5 March 2022

   We were up and rolling out of here by 10am, not bad for us.  We were heading to San Augustine for some antiquing.  But first I wanted to stop by a flea market in Hemphill, but they were closed.  But since we were already off track we drove over to Louisiana for lunch.  What a find The Fishermen's Galley Diane had the catfish platter and I had...the chef's Cajun Grilled Catfish Special, catfish topped with crawfish etouffee over rice. Then we hit a flea market, three antique stores, coin shop and before heading home I filled up with gas.  $3.69 a gallon, go back to the start of this post I paid $3.15 a gal.  Thank you president O'Biden 50 cents increase in ten days.

I found this on Facebook,
had to re-post it!!
