Tuesday February 6th 2018

The theme for the day was fog, fog and more fog. When I got up this morning I could barely see across the street. The fog was heavy in the area. The TV reported less than a half mile of visibility all around the San Antonio area. I settled in with my morning coffee to wait for the fog to lift. It was early afternoon before it lifted more than a little bit. Then it started to rain. This was not going to be a day for sight seeing. I never ventured out of my RV home all day.

Another bird picture from Monday. “Are my wings dry yet?”

One good thing about staying home was that I got to watch the launch of the Space X Falcon Heavy rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida streaming on the computer. I wasn’t sure what to expect. It could as easily be an explosion as a lift off. What I saw was an impressive lift off and landing of the two extra booster rockets. Watching the rockets land in sync on the pads in Florida was as impressive as the launch. While I understand the PR value of Rocket man in the Tesla roadster as the payload, I thought it was over the top camp.

My other activity was researching my options for the month of April in Florida. I delayed making reservations when I found out that most of the snowbirds were departing early this year because Easter is April 1st. What I didn’t take into account was that April and May are two big months for Florida residents in the various parks. The weekends are very popular with Floridians once the snowbirds head north and before the really hot and humid weather sets in. I can find many vacant campsites Sunday night through Friday but not on the weekends at the low to medium priced places. The expensive “resorts” are still available. I have lots of options, but I’m still looking for the perfect solution.

Tomorrow is forecast to be cooler with rain in the morning. If the rain isn’t too heavy I’ll bundle up in my rain gear and start to see the sights. Thursday and Friday have better forecasts.
