Awake: 6:53am Temp 63 sleep 6+49 partly cloudy overnight @ Cedar Creek, TX.
I make a call to Bastrop State Park @ 8:01am to reserve a campsite. It’s spring break time & they are booked up. I ask Kathy to check the books for our next campground since Gary & I will be working on the Aqua-Hot this morning after breakfast.
About 10:00am I start to disassemble the hot water feed line with Gary watching & supervising every move I make. It wasn’t long before I convinced myself: I don’t want to mess this repair job up by trying to fix it. Gary must have sensed my reluctance & took over the helm immediately. He has done a lot of plumbing on various projects so is quite familiar with the Aqua-Hot connections. Turns out the old bulkhead fitting had a hairline crack along 50 % of its length. Gary says it was probably over tightened when installed & finally split open. Within (2) casual hrs, he installed the new fitting, tested the system with hot pressured water & it passed the test. Gary did a great job & we are very impressed & appreciative of his talents.
As a snack before dinner: we have Triscuits, Sniders sourdough pretzels, Dutch Vintage Gouda Cheese & wine with Gary & Grace in their coach. Then the (4) of us ride to the town of Bastrop (5 miles) & attend 7:00 pm Mass @ Ascension Catholic church. G & G join us because the nearest Presbyterian Church that they know of is back in Fredericksburg. It was nice having them with us. En route back to our campground, we make a stop @ Walgreen’s & the HEB grocery store.
9:15 dinner: Leftover ham slices & mixed salad.
Late night TV: O’Reilly Factor & History channel.
