Weather: low 36 degrees in Proctor, Texas, high 65 degrees in Bay City, partly cloudy skies, windy
The picture below is on the California coast near Crescent City. Just another reminder to us that winter will eventually be finished for this year.
We hit the road shortly after 0800 hours this morning, heading back to Bay City. The cold weather was still hanging on, including a wind that made it seem colder than it was. The trip over to Bay City was uneventful, with the wind behind us most of the way. Most of the time, it seems as though the wind is in our face, tending to slow us down and cutting our fuel mileage. Today was one of those rare days when the wind actually helped us.
We were in Bay City by 1400 hours, which wasn't bad for time. Thirty minutes later, we were set up, except for the satellite dish. We rested until about 1600 hours, when we met my brother Terrell and his wife Kathy for supper at Pasta Prima, a fairly new Italian restaurant. This was the first time we had been to this restaurant, and it wasn't bad. It seems like I'm a creature of habit when eating at an Italian restaurant, usually having Chicken Parmigiana. I thought about having something different, but couldn't quite make the change. So, it was the old standby again. Don't want to be too daring.
Terrell and Kathy are leaving here tomorrow on their way back to their home in Tennessee. They'll be back in about three weeks as he takes advantage of being retired, yet still being paid to do what he likes. Sounds like me.
When we got home from the restaurant, I set up the satellite dish, and had success within 30 seconds of starting to look for the signal. If the signal was that easy to find all the time, life would be a little easier for me.
We have several things to do tomorrow as I get ready to go to work on Monday. In the meantime, I think I'll say good night, as I'm wore out from today's drive.
More later, be safe.
