Today was odd jobs around the camp. First I went around and checked in with the three groups that are here, to see if they needed anything. They were all fine. Next came feeding time. I put out some cat food by the dining room but since I didn't see the cat anywhere I thought it had gone back down to the barn. The barn is about a quarter mile from the dining room. It is where the cat normally lives/eats. I went down there and put out some food.
On the way back I stopped and fed the fish in the pond. They were waiting to be fed. They get fed at two different locations. There is at least one turtle that comes up to eat at each location. After that it was back to the dining room to feed the goldfish. They go nuts when you get within 5 feet of the aquarium.
I worked on the gate again. I thought I had everything OK and tightened up so that the hinges wouldn't slip again. WRONG! By the time I got back from Bryan enough people had went in and out of the gate to cause the hinge to slip around again. Maybe this time I've got it fixed.
I went to Bryan Freightliner and made an appointment to take the motor home there Monday for general maintenance work, and a general checkup. I may go there tomorrow and spend the night outside their gate (they are in a rural area), so that I can get checked in first thing Monday morning. Then I can head back to the camp in the CR-V and be ready to go to work first thing in the morning. I don't want to miss a days work <grin>. John told me to take the day off, but I don't relish the thought of sitting around a truck repair place all day.
I went on to Bryan, picked up a prescription from Walgreens and went to Walmart for groceries and some other odds and ends.
When I arrived back at camp the big group of people were packing up and getting ready to leave. I think they had a great time and I would be surprised if they don't come back here next Thanksgiving. After they left I went over and took their trash out to the dumpster. I took a quick look at the building and it looked like they did a great job cleaning it before they left.
The weather was just awesome today. Officially the overnight low was 37 but according to my thermometers it never go below 40. The high was in the mid 60's. Most of the time there wasn't a cloud to be seen.
When I was out fixing the gate the last time I heard what sounded like sand hill cranes. I didn't see them but they were loud enough that they had to be relatively close. I don't know if any spend the winter around here or if they all go on further south. I think that some of them spend the winter in the Houston area, which is 120 miles southeast of here.
Good night to all. May God bless you and yours.
