Busy Day

 ROCKPORT, TEXAS

DECEMBER 29. 2024

We were not expecting to have a very interesting day but we were very wrong. Our walk today turned out to be at the Rockport Memorial Park where we walk often. Things were going well but the OFM could not seem to get going up to our usual brisk speed. Nothing seemed wrong, cool air, nice weather and friendly howdies all around us. The first section we were doing is only 1.56 miles and we usually do it in nice time easily. But today along about a mile the OFM started not feeling " not right" and we paid attention. The next bench was a few feet away and we sat down to see what was going on.

Nothing hurt or felt weak or anything in particular, it just seemed right to pause and relax, so we did. In a very few minutes things seemed OK so off we went at a gentle pace.

Within about a hundred yards we were back up to our normal pace and had no more funny feelings so we finished the mile and a half at usual speed and decided to halt the walk. No farther funny feelings happened all day.

When we were later at the Beach Park we did some faster speed walking down there with no trouble. But we always listen carefully to our body.

We did the house battery checking out on the Castle and sure enough we need to replace the house batteries after five years. These are the batteries we use when not plugged into 120volt and camping and are five years old with a lot of boondocking time on them. So tomorrow we will start the search for new batteries. The website claims Walmart has the right batts for about $125 each. If they have them readily available that is  what we will purchase so we will be ready to roll as soon as they are changed out. Yep full time RVing is not free of expenses for maintenance.

And as if that was not enough the OFM also started unpacking and resorting his art supplies this afternoon to tally up what we have and if there is anything we need to order for this fun we have. Out in the west Texas desert we hope to have plenty of time for colored pencil efforts for excessive fun.

That is about it for today.  Have a great evening.
