Today was billed as a relaxing day to just do a few things around the house in preparation for Mexico on Tuesday. One of our neighbours, Poncho, has a pressure washing business and I got him to wash the MH and Jeep this morning. One thing that we notice when at Magnolia Beach, is the amount of salt in the misty air there. Everything seems to get a coating and I thought we should get it off as quick as possible.
Nothing like a dip in the pool to cool things off for a while.
I spent a couple hours this afternoon getting the new inverter hooked up and everything went well. We now have our own 120 volt power source again when not hooked to shore power. I will hook up the remote reader at a later date. For now we really don't need it.
A little story about where we are parked. The RV park is actually located on the Mexican side of what was going to be the wall. It was all in the contract stage and then that all got nixed. It was supposed to be 18 feet high but the money got pulled, so the contractor just installed short posts for now just to make it look like a fence. It would stop nothing and apparently doesn't. It will be finished when money is available again. In the meantime the park boasts of being on the wrong side of the wall.
This is also a hot spot for drugs and people coming across the river on either side of us. There is a National Reserve presence here 24/7 just watching for action. The Border Patrol also uses the boat launch here every day.
Pat and Harold arrived here today so we met them for supper at The Texas Roadhouse. We had a nice time over some good food. The kitchen there is amazing to watch. Mass production of steaks and buns.
A little dip in the pool after supper to end the day. Good Nite!!
Welcome Pat and Harold!
