The Brownsville couple came and really liked our motorhome. They stayed almost two hours. They too asked if bringing an inspector was ok and we said yes. However, neither has done so yet. I did get an email saying the second couple had requested an appraisal based on our build list and they would share that with us. And they are having trouble finding an available inspector, they are booked to May. I said fine, we will be here through mid March and then back to the Houston area until mid July.
Today we went to Space X in Boca Chica. It was so cold, windy and drizzly that we didn’t stay off the bus long at our stops. We left here at 6:30 and returned about 2:30 and it didn’t warm up at all! First photo is Airstream Park for employee living arrangements. The second is a plot of land owned by someone who bought a “lot” years ago and has held it and now wants to sell it. The two tall buildings are for assembling the rockets. The black and white rocket is supposed to go up this month. Amazing to see this huge complex with no government involvement. I am in the front row with beige arms standing in front of Ted. There were 48 of us but not everyone wanted to get off the warm bus!
Thursday morning was our ladies breakfast and I learned the lady with the new hip that I stayed with after her hip replacement fell and damaged her new hip. She is having surgery today I think to repair the damage. I believe she will go to a rehab facility when discharged. Her husband is just not capable of caring for her.
It was card bingo night and our Texas Boomer friend that we ran into at church has been attending with us. We find a partner for her because Bill is not interested. I won a dime game and Ted won a quarter game for a total haul of $25 in nickels and dimes. Now Ted won’t have to go searching for change each week.
Earlier in the day we had a cleaning machine demonstrated from our “winning” a free rug cleaning at the Expo. We were really looking for someone to come clean our 4 x 35 strip on the big slide. I explained this but they insisted on coming, so I said ok. They cleaned the carpet but what they did for the white grout in our tile floor was amazing. They use steam from water pressure only. There was a stain from under our breadbox on the solid surface sink area and it cleaned it perfectly. If it didn’t cost $2600 I would have bought it! I also suggested they change their target customers to smaller cleaning companies where a few machines shared doing nothing but grout cleaning would be a huge success. He said they can also do ovens but I didn’t have one to clean. Ted gave the young man $25 for his tremendous efforts.
Today is mahjong and then dinner at BJ’s with Karen and Dave. And another week here is coming to a close.
