C&C Retirement Adventures Monday, February 10-11, 2011

Not much to report.

Will spend 3 nights here at the Buckhorn Lake RV park in Kerrville, TX; nice place with fairly spacious sites.  In nicer weather this place would probably be a lot of fun, they have a large outdoor "cowboy bar", a big barn for social events/meals, two pools, a catch-and-release lake, a 35-seat movie theater where we saw "The Social Network" last night with two other couples.  However, the cold seems to be keeping most of the RVers hold up in their coaches or fifth wheels OR they are out of the Park doing touristy things.  We see a few people out walking their dogs or tinkering with their coaches, but it's mostly very quiet here.

Corky made arrangements to have the car's rear window replaced.  Fortunately, our insurance will pay 100%, so no out of pocket expense there.  Yay!   The installer should be here Friday.

I found a local salon to have my hair trimmed--which took 3 hours--why??  Well, the heating element in the salon's water heater stopped working--with a shop full of customers.  Not wanting to turn away any business, they resorted to their microwave and coffee makers to warm water for shampoos!  It slowed things down a bit, but they actually did a pretty good job.  The repair man had arrived as I was leaving.  The chatter at the salon was mostly about the seemingly endless bitter cold weather--lots of frozen pipes around here.  Forecast is for a nice warmup over the weekend.

Another "who'da thunk it" moment happened this morning.  Corky was walking the dogs when he ran into another RVer from Minnesota.  Asked where they were from--Detroit Lakes!  They live on Lake Sallie, just about 3 miles from us and only two doors from one of our good friends!  How crazy is that!

We plan to attend the Park's Happy Hour tonight--it's a beautiful sunny afternoon in the upper 50's so they may hold it outside at their Cowboy Bar.

We will leave tomorrow and try find a site closer to San Antonio and do our siteseeing from there.

All for now.
