The weather has been sort of miserable the last few days. Two days ago it rained all day. Yesterday a cold front came through; it was 68 degrees at half past midnight but 41 at noon. Today it didn’t rain although temperatures are still in the low 40s. We took advantage of the lack of precipitation today and drove into Helotes (on the northern outskirts of San Antonio) to pick up a few groceries, RV toilet paper and some dookie dissolver.
We knew from the outset we would be here a while awaiting warmer weather in states to the north and east. We got our trailer spring and tire fixed. We got a new RV roof. We did some sightseeing and some shopping but mostly we have lounged around the trailer. Fortunately, the Winter Olympics have been running and we got to see a bunch of that. Last night we watched the Women’s U.S. Hockey Team stuff the puck into the Canadians’ bottom for the first time in a couple decades. We have listened to considerable hype about Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin and then watched them not perform in the skiing events. We got to see an almost unknown kid win the snowboard half pipe. It has been a good show. Our satellite receiver has worked flawlessly.
We have a few more days here before moving on to Columbus, TX, over near Houston. I hope the weather starts to cooperate because it is chilly now and we are reluctant to go north until things warm up. We don’t do icy roads at our age.
