Back Is Mending Well

ROCKPORT, TEXAS

JANUARY 10, 2025

Not much excitement today. The OFM back had about a 85% recovery over night so it seems he will be ready for more battery play when the carrier gets here in the next few days. Then we can wrap this event up and be ready to roll maybe.

We seemed to be having a problem heating the Castle during this cold spell even though we were only seeing cold temps in the 40F range for the coldest. In the years before this rig handled 11F without any trouble at all. So we went to searching for an air leak. We found one about 3/8" wide and 20 inches long in a window seam. Repairing that made a huge difference in less than ten minutes. The electric heater had to be cut way back to keep us from being cooked inside. We are running it on the 500 watt setting and it is cycling on the thermostat. Yahoo for us.

A trip out to the Beach park after repair celebration was over netted us three picture so we could have something to talk about.

The American flag and the Navigation district flag on the same flag pole were having a flapping contest to see which one could flap the most in the stiff wind. We called it a tie but feel free to make your on choice.

The nice fish cleaning facilities were not being used today from the looks of them. The fish cleaning tables were dry. Usually there is residue from the cleaning activities if anyone is fishing around here. But today it looked like complete non use was the story. After all it was a day of a high speed very cold wet wind,

On the way out of the park a new to this area van dweller was spotted just outside the entry to the Beach Park.  Later in the afternoon the van was still in the same spot. The Navigation district does not allow overnight camping in the harbor parking lot so the van will be gone by 2300 to somewhere else in town.

For supper tonight we had some very good pork chop stoup and hot tea.

Well that is all the excitement for today. Every one please be safe and have fun.
