Slower Mosquitoes

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 65 degrees, high 75 degrees, cloudy skies, breezy

Wonder of wonders, we have not had to use the air conditioning in the RV for the last two days. This is almost unheard of for this area at this time of the year. Could the cooler weather last longer? We sure hope so.

Last week, we had a bumper crop of mosquitoes because of the rain several days before that. These mosquitoes seem to have the genetic code that turns them into the great white shark of mosquitoes. For their size, they are the equal of any vicious, blood thirsty monsters I can think of. The cooler weather of the last two days has dampened their aggressiveness a little, and the breeze today also helped. The only problem is that as soon as the weather warms up a little, we will be under siege again.

Carolyn has been preparing our meals since she arrived here over the weekend. Tonight, I decided to treat her to supper. We went to one of our favorite places in Bay City, since we haven't been there since she came back. The suspense about where we went is probably killing everyone, so I'll go ahead and spill the beans. We went to, drum roll, please.........Dairy Queen! Let's face it, folks, there's not many places to go in Bay City.

After supper, we stopped by to see Lori and her family. John was still at work, and we didn't stay long because they were busy getting supper together and doing their house and homework. Still, it's always good to see them, and we made plans to get together over the weekend. Julian loves to go out to eat, so we'll go to K-2 or Victoria's. He doesn't care where we go, as long as it's not a burger place.

Carolyn did some laundry today and met a few of the ladies in the RV park. Most of the people here are working on different projects in the area, with the majority of them working at the same facility as me. She met one lady that is a little ticked off at her husband because he accepted a short term job when he is supposed to be retired. I'm lucky Carolyn is more understanding.

The pace at work has been picking up every day, but it seemed to kick into a higher gear today. By the time the facility shuts down, we'll really be getting after it. Bring it on, I'm ready.

More later, be safe.
