Boring . . . . . .

Well it's Wednesday and we're still at home. The truck has just received a whole new housing and water pump. This is the third new water pump to go on but the first time they've changed the housing. They test drove it this morning and are letting it cool and be observed for leaks, etc. If it is OK, then we're taking it for a test run towards Magnolia with the RV attached. If it appears to be OK, we'll head out. Depending on the time, we may go half way today and the rest tomorrow or just wait and do the whole trip tomorrow.

I've moved my trip to Florida to the week of March 23 so we can stay for two weeks as planned in the Rio Grande Valley. Jay & Stella will be pulling out just about then too so it will still turn out OK.

Staying home for 6 days with nothing planned is really boring! I've missed at least three things that we could have planned to do but I didn't think we would be here. The weather has been terrific and the trees, shrubs and wildflowers are starting to bloom though I haven't seen any bluebonnets yet. That is the start of spring in Texas for me. Leon Hale in the Houston Chronicle says it is when the mesquite trees get leaves in Falfurria, TX. :>)

Wish us luck. At this point we and Gullo Ford both need it.
