Rain On Top Of Rain

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 61 degrees, high 66 degrees, heavy rain early, clearing in the afternoon

We woke up this morning to light rain that quickly developed into heavy rain that lasted most of the morning. In the middle of the afternoon, the clouds started going away and the sun came out just before dark. I had a lot of chores I wanted to get done today, but decided to not fret about it, and instead enjoyed a bonus day of rest. A few more days like this and I should be rested again.

During a short lull in the rain, I took an empty propane tank to the gas company and had it filled. We had a full tank, but since we are going 300 miles north and into the hill country on Friday, we wanted to make sure we were set for cooler weather. The propane was $2.07 per gallon, so the tank was filled for about $14.00.

On the way home with the propane, I stopped at a hardware store and bought some cleaner and conditioner for the RV roof. If possible, I'll be cleaning the roof tomorrow, along with the sides of the RV.

In the afternoon, we watched "There Will Be Blood", a movie I checked out at the library. It starred Daniel Day-Lewis, and was based on a book written by Upton Sinclair. The movie was a little dark for our tastes, but had some good acting.

Tonight, we had supper with Lori and her family. The choice on where to go was the Chinese restaurant they all raved about last week. It was good, and we had plenty left for lunch tomorrow.

The weather is supposed to be dry tomorrow, so I should be able to start getting everything ready to go on Friday. We'll also finish our preps for Thanksgiving dinner. The way we decided to do it is certainly easier than what we've done in the past.

More later, be safe.
