Warmer Weather

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 47 degrees, high 92 degrees, clear skies early, partly cloudy later, windy

Summer may have arrived!! Look at the high for the day. Of course, Wednesday morning the temperature is supposed to be down in the low 30s.

We did a few more tasks in our inexorable march toward getting ready to leave this area. Carolyn wanted to clean the carpet in the RV, so I helped her get everything out of the way. We washed a load of clothes and I lubricated several items on the RV, including the landing gear, entry steps, and slideout gears in the living room.

While Carolyn was cleaning the carpet (ever notice how I find something else to do when she gets on a cleaning jag?), I went to Granbury to pick up a few things at WalMart. While in Granbury, I went by Discount Tire and had the valve stems on the truck tires changed out to steel ones that are shorter. In addition, I had the tires balanced, since the tire monitoring sensors weigh 0.7 ounces, and I don't know what it would do to the tires if I didn't get them balanced with the extra weight. The monitoring system seems to be working as advertised as far as letting me know what the tire pressure is at a moment's notice. You can actually see the pressure going up as the tires heat up from running down the road. We may not ever have another problem with a tire, but the odds are that we will. Hopefully, the monitoring system will help us avoid the costly damages we have had in the past.

Late in the afternoon, the wind started increasing. The forecast is for winds up to 40 mph tomorrow, and high winds are also forecast for Wednesday. We'll see if that affects when we leave. The RV is like pulling a wall down the road, and high winds can really affect the handling.

More later, be safe.
