Kerrville--2011--Day 2

More rain to start the day.



After we got in yesterday evening we got the coach hooked up to the utilities but decided to wait until today to finish setting up. About 7:00am a front rolled through and we had buckets of rain coming down. We were on the west edge of the front and it was moving east. The San Antonio area got the bulk of the wet weather. This area really needs the rain so we could not complain much. It started clearing off by mid-morning so was able to get out and complete setting up our stuff. At the last rally we attended, the past March in Georgia, Joanne ordered a new shade/cover to go over the windshield when we were parked. This is our first opportunity to use it. It is held in place by magnets so it is easy to put up. The shade has magnets sewn into the fabric. Other, corresponding magnets are permanently attached to the inside of the windshield. The previous shade we had was held on with a suction cup on one end and a strap attached to the side window on the other. It was pretty weather beaten and the suction cup was worn out. This is a nice upgrade to the coach.


After lunch and a trip to Wal-Mart I decided to upgrade the security on my Sprint Hot Spot Internet connection. As it turned out, I wound up disconnecting myself and screwing it up to the point I could not get back on the Internet. Wound up having to take the computer and the Hot Spot to the local Spring store to get some help in getting it to work. After getting the unit reset and the settings in my computer back to where they were we were back in business. Spent the rest of the afternoon visiting with old friends and met one of the new club members who are marking their first time out one of our rallies. In the evening several of us went to a local Mexican Restaurant for dinner. Then it was back to the coach for a little down time and television. The Rally Master's for this rally are Dale and Ann Lemons. Since this was Dale's birthday the restaurant recognized him with special treatment.
