    Tuesday 3/20

    Tuesday 3/20 Traveler’s Observation: Bud Light seems to be the beer of choice of the people who litter by a long throw. Traveler’s Observation: A toilet is a handy item to carry with you. Got going about 9 and made a left when i should of made a right coming out of the campground. It…

    Monday 3/19

    Monday 3/19 Well, she blew last night! Not the worst wind I’ve been in. Bill and the schooner go down the road at 60-70 mph with crosswinds so we rock a bit but nothing unbearable. But, oh baby, better have a tight hold on the door when opening. Still windy this morning. The wind advisory…

    Sunday 3/18

    Sunday 3/18 The GPS says 176 miles today. We’ll see. Overcast this morning but it normally doesn’t last. Like Montana, don’t like the weather? Stick around. I like using the GPS to get into and out of the cities. Left on my own…u-turns are my friends. Fueled (11.78) My historical stops play hell on mileage…

    St Patrick Day 3/17

    St. Patrick’s Day 3/17 Sorry St. Patrick, but if you ain’t from Texas, you ain’t getting no parade. Nor anything that i can see. Maybe they don’t need a reason to get s-faced. Not a lot of Irish names either, some just not a lot. Overcast this morning, calling for some rain. We’ll see. Some…

    Thursday/ Friday  3/15-16

      Thursday/Friday 3/15-16 Ah, a day off does wonders for my energy levels. Off to Willie Nelson’s golf course in Spicewood Texas. About 15 miles away. The course is like Willie, rough. Lots of doglegs, narrow, no i mean NARROW. Nine hole, up and down. Walked it. Only one there! Played up to 4 balls…

    Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday   3/12-14

    Monday/ Tuesday/Wednesday. 3/12-14 Beautiful morning. I cruise down to ATA about 10am and check the clay courts. We’ll need to lower the water level but I’ll let UJ make that decision. Grabbed the ipad, logged on to ATA wireless and updated ttrlt.n. Looks like a three day rotation. I watched the videos from my hike…

Couldn’t putt. Bob Gaughen would of given me that god damn puppet and it would of never left my bag. A couple of 4…

    Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday  3/6-8

    Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday 3/6-8 Everyone loves a plumber. Made it to ATA by 8:30am as I’m not doing gentlemen’s work today. Going to deal with turning some toilet partitions around, try polishing the sign and fix the pvc pressure problem. Got way-laid by a friend of UJ about a shower valve problem. Ended up going and changing…

    Saturday/Sunday/Monday 3/3-5

    Saturday/Sunday/Monday 3/3-5 Overcast this morning. Yesterday afternoon was mix clouds but with lots of sun. Most likely high 60s today. Going to get my leak in the schooner fixed today and head ATA way to make some material lists. No hurry. A gentleman doesn’t start work before 10. I’m on a Jack Reacher marathon. It’s…

    Wednesday/Thursday/Friday   2/28-3/2

    Wednesday/Thursday/Friday 2/28-3/2 The weather has been…marginal. More rain, sprinkles, storms moving in than out. I’ve seen more lightning in the last month than in the last 5 years. But then we get a sunny day. It’s not like Wash/Oregon where you are housebound for days but you need to be prepared. Doing projects at ATA,…
