I uploaded the bobcat video. He isn’t doing anything but at least you can see him breathe. You can tell he’s alive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAc887VGmzk
Our salt air at the beach is tough on outside equipment
We got the television satellite dish new last January. The chain that drives the dish up and down rusted through and broke while we were in Florida last October so we had it replaced. Now the dish needs a new skew motor and sensor. Until we get that fixed, each time we move the coach, I have to go up on the roof and point the dish by compass and guesswork until I stumble upon a signal, then lock it in place.
Not just anyone can work on these Motosat satellite dishes. We have two choices in South Texas. There is one guy north of Houston and a guy in San Antonio. So far we’ve used the Houston guy. We don’t want to go to Houston again yet, so we decided to try the guy in San Antonio. When we called to arrange a visit, we found out he was actually down south in Harlingen for a few months, so here we are, in a giant RV Park in Harlingen, getting our skew motor fixed.
Here is another Wood Duck picture from Saturday.
Life Bird!
Yellow-Billed Loon at Canyon Lake. He was too far out to get a good picture, but we could see him well enough to make the call.
We went by Landa Park in New Braunfels on the way back and got some good Lesser Scaup and Wood Ducks though.
Annie and Eddie
Annie has a boyfriend: Eddie, a King Charles Spaniel. She likes Eddie. She even lets him wear her Halloween hat.
Last weekend they went boating together.
Choke Canyon State Park
We like it here.
Our campsite.
Our morning view
Last night was busy though. Before midnight we heard Great Horned Owls calling, so we got up and looked at them. More toward morning we heard Javelina snorting and squealing outside our bedroom window. We didn’t get up for them, but Annie did. She dashed across us to bark them away. Twice.
