We found this little airstream at a RV store by Austin we picked up a new set of airstream awning lights . We have our tube shack up and running I did the carving on the signs the wood used for them and the counter came from a very old and large pecan tree. Now all we need is a martini bar
yes the blue bonnet's are up and the area around the park is greening up Juno takes me for a walk around the San Marcos river by the park
We had some down time so a bit of grading to make a patio for the owners home at the park.
3 hard working guys we had a 90degree day doing this work, should have waited a day drooped to 70 next day.
Safe travels my friends.

TAHA Airstream Harbor TX
OK its been a week or so But darn cold here we have had frozen pipes one time this week my mistake for not planing for winter in fact I convinced myself would not be in a area where it is cold this winter but should of gone to Yuma ha ha. The other thing that was an ordeal was the first night it got cold was last Tue at 9pm we lost power at the park, when it came back on our power post was not making the come back the rest of the park had the power not us. We could not locate the main breaker so with wind chill and cold at about 7 degrees I moved all our stuff away from the trailer and disconnected and hooked up pull the trailer to another site no heat and cold and wet by 10:30pm we had power for 5min and out it went , we then used our adapters and heavy duty ext cord and ran 60ft of cord to another site worked had heat and lights . That darn groundhog better be right we need warmth . We are just laying low here for now if sun comes out some much needed polish on trailer and more relaxing we have to Waite till the 21st of Feb before going to San Marcos for our new adventure. stay warm friends and hold that Groundhog accountable.

We are at an Airstream Park Mystic Springs, boy is it quite hear been cold for a week so not much doing other R&R staying inside and working on work camps for the winter.
It appears we have been successful we have 3 tentative work areas and in San Antonio TX, boy we love it there. We have had many phone interviews for work from everything from retail merchandising, to selling fudge, to on the road sales for a publication for RV parks, and of course Work camping at rv parks. The good news is we have had 6 work offers, the bad news we cant make our minds up.
OK now we have an income that looks good for the rest of winter we can relax and weigh all offers and accept the best for us. While hear at the park we will be attending an Airstream rally this weekend than to TX for a visit at the RV parks that want to hire us.
Enough of us a few pictures of the area and things to do, if you come hear plan ahead the closest store is over 15 miles away and the Walmart is over 28 miles away, which by the way has the cheapest fuel 3.18 for diesel fuel under 3.00 for gas, that is average 11 cents less.
There are good restaurants in the area but we just know that by word of mouth as we cook and enjoy more using our own recipes and dutch oven. If you come hear you have to go to the Naval Air museum it is free and one of the best displays of aircraft in the US, they have a Light House museum there also sorry no pic's of the light house. Also a RV park is on base but to to high of Price. You have to enter the base to see this stuff not to worry just have drivers lic out and not be a most wanted, and yes you can take your RV as ample parking room at the museum. check out these pictures they are just grand of the displays we loved this place can spend all day there and then some.
This display is from a plain wreck that was located in the great lakes. and most of the display planes at this place were recovered from the great lakes where many crashes happened during training WWII.
Looks like the day of long ago
Remember homes like this, I do
Enjoy life we only live once will post the rally this weekend..................
