Well we're parked in a KOA outside of Abilene, Texas right now and on our last leg of this two plus month adventure. We plan on being home on Saturday sometime just not sure what time at all, but probably mid-day or there a bouts.
We arrived in Jefferson, Texas Tuesday evening at cousin Walt's place, where he had things all set up for us including 30 amp service for the motor home. We sure appreciated all he had done to get things ready for our short visit, including a nice steak dinner on the BBQ and some fine salads by wife Linda.........thanks again you two! We spent that evening (after eating dinner) talking old times and having a few drinks and trying to keep cool, man was it humid. I changed t-shirts 3 times from when we arrived to bed time all were soaking wet with perspiration and very uncomfortable to be wearing. With temps at 102 degrees with 88% humidity is a killer, give me dry anytime over humidity, this summer has been as bad a summer as these folks had during the winter.............not very comfortable at all.
Wednesday we went to Walt's favorite place for breakfast and the cook was off that day and he pissed of the replacement so it took one helluva long time to get served. No biggie, just Walt being Walt and we weren't in a hurry anyway to get back into the heat of the day. We gave Dave a tour of Jefferson (quick tour) and stopped into the General Store later that day for shakes and floats! We picked up a couple of more items for the grand kids and off we went to get back into the air conditioning. We thought about running over to Shreveport and visit a couple of casino's but decided to stay home and watch TV a bit and order pizza and just talk some more.............hell we'll be lucky to make it home with any cash the way it is, no more casino's!
We've been having to run the generator while driving down the road to keep the bus air conditioner going, with Dave and Bev only one can be up front in the bus air and it gets pretty hot in the back without the generator and the bus air running, so using much more gas but trying to stay cool also.
Plan on getting a early start tomorrow, early being by maybe 8:30 or so, after breakfast that's for sure and then onto El Paso and into New Mexico for a bit. We'll most likely stay another night somewhere down the line but not sure how far we'll get, that depends on the heat and how we all feel at the time. Lunch on the road has been fun with Dave along and we'll be doing the same tomorrow, find a good road side rest area and either grill or make sandwiches and relax...hot but relaxing too. We went swimming at the KOA pool as soon as we got set up tonight, it sure was nice and refreshing............water was actually cold and it felt oh so good let me tell you, not 90 degrees like at home that's for sure. Will bring you up to date when we stop tomorrow, who know where we'll be................tune in to see and hear!
