OH LORD, please slow down the time – it is going by way too fast.

I know much has been accomplished, and we have done a number of things as well.

On Nov. 6th, Char, Vadie and I went to Corpus Christie mainly to go to the Texas State Aquarium.  It is a very nice aquarium, dolphins, (Vadie got wet in the blue zone hehe), turtles, seahorses, otters, stingrays, many other types of fish and as well as birds.  We went to four different shows, dolphins, feeding turtles, birds of prey and feeding of the stingrays.

For lunch we went to “Whataburger”, a very decent burger, I must say.  We then went shopping for things that Vadie and Char needed (like a new computer and printer).

Nov. 7th and 8th – I worked with Powell raking hay.  In addition to the raking, we have to look after the machinery, greasing, repairing items as required.  We move from field to field and some of the fields are 25 miles apart – this makes for long days. 

While we were busy in the field, Vadie was helping Char setup her new computer. She also had time to groom the dogs, and they continue to make us delicious meals, although on the 8th we went to Christie’s house for dinner – brisket – first time for us and it was delicious.

Nov 9th – Vadie and Char headed toward Corpus Christie to go to a Christmas market, the peddlars show.  It was huge, it took Vadie 3 ½ hours to see it all, she dragged Char with her for the entire time – poor lady.  Vadie managed to find a new purse, shampoo for Jake, and some goodies for both of us.

Powell  and I had a productive day.  We worked on both coaches, got the alignment of Powell’s  generator muffler setup, realigned the engine hood, installed new rubber for curtains, installed one set of LED’s for night lights and setup the genturi on Vadie’s coach.
