New Rug

Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas

Teams Location: Rockport, Texas
Lots of fishing today with not even one bite from any kind of fish.  Maybe the prevailing pavement peeling wind had something to do with the bad luck.

The Castle has sheet vinyl for the flooring all through the trailer.  For foot comfort especially in the winter, cheap throw rugs are put on the floor.  When they get too bad in a couple of years or so, the old ones are thrown out and new ones put in their place.
Today a new rug for the living room, dining room and kitchen was installed.  The non-slip back low pile rugs from Wal-Mart are my choice.  The new one was cut to fit with a utility knife.  My straight line metal shears were tried but the knife did a better job.  The cut edge was then sealed with a BBQ lighter.

Next was the fun of man handling that sucker into place. It was amazing that the cuts all turned out to be correct.  A picture of the whole rug is not possible since the Castle is so small.  Here is the living room and part of the kitchen.

It is a little darker than it seemed at the store during the choosing of which rug to purchase.
Rent for the month of May was paid this afternoon so the OFM Teams should be around here for a few more days at least.  Maybe the yak might even get some salt water on it for a change. My new glasses that we are waiting on should be in before too much longer.  These are single vision glasses for use when hitting golf balls.

Golf can be another good way of trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.

  1. Nice rug, and hopefully the weather will be nice for you too. Don't know what you have there today but we lost our sun in CA this morning and it is chilly and overcast. But that is ok since the heat is coming, I'll accept some more days of cool.

  2. Even a bad day fishing is better than a good day working.

  3. Maybe that is my problem when trying to hit a golf ball. I still use my bifocals. However, glasses or no glasses, I doubt that anything will help.
