Looks to be a busy week. Studying options for my vacation. The plan for the first week so far is to replace those roof vents on my RV next Monday-Tuesday weather permitting. Then on Wednesday the 27th (Laura's Birthday) go to San Antonio to Visit my sister Laura probably getting a 3 day rental at the Studio 6 for those 3 days. Then on Saturday evening take Laura to Bryan for the weekend returning at Monday Noon in order to be there to get Justin off the bus.

Also will see the things left on my list in this area during my vacation, such as The Armored Forces museum at Ft Hood, The Texas Rangers museum in Waco, the train museum in Temple, and the Jail museum in Cameron, the Museum of the Pacific war in Fredericksburg, and of course San Antonio. After I start collecting my annuity I doubt that I will be back in this part of Texas again. Will have San Antonio as my "home base" while I am in Texas. Rather than a brief expensive trip to New York figure I will go after I retire in December for the Christmas ... read more
