A Serious Mess

Rockport, Texas

http://www.clrsearch.com is an interesting site. It gives theoretical crime comparisons for cities in the USA. To my amazement Zapata right on the Mexico border is one of the safest cities in the USA. Most likely the reason is there are no border crossings anywhere close to the town. Falcon Lake on Zapata’s western border stretches for many miles north and south. Tomorrow morning is rolling time and my readers will get the full story over the next few blog entries.

My lifestyle had really sprawled out. It took ALL day today to get everything put away and or ready for travel. On top of everything else when the black water valve was opened the hose popped loose from the sewer connection. Quick action made it a small mess. Heavy wash down dilution and a dose of bleach brought the mess under control. It is nice my neighbors are gone for a few weeks.

The Edisto took me an hour to disassemble and stow away. Those guys that claim twenty minutes are super human. My assembly time was closer to forty five minutes than the claimed twenty minutes for assembly. Maybe it will get to play on Falcon Lake.

Everything that can be packed away is packed and the estimated time of departure is 9:30 am in the morning. That should put me in Zapata for the evening attempt at trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.

  1. I have always been worried that I will have a problem emptying the black tank. I'm glad you got it cleaned up without an audience around.

  2. A black water mess is not a big deal. No blood loss involved. Nobody hurt. If that is the worst thing that happens the rest of my life, I have it made! I just relax and enjoy the comedy even if I am the star.
    Did I say there was no audience or just no neighbors? There is always an audience in a campground of winter Texans.

  3. "It'll do till a mess comes along..." Couldn't help but think of that quote from NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN when I read about your sewer hose. Sure is one way to have toooo much fun!
