Friday Abita Springs

Did some fly fishing on Tuesday. Caught about 15 or so sunfish in about 2 hours. Only two or three were big enough to call fish. Wednesday got another tire to replace the one that blew the tread. Almost $200 with mounting and everything. Picked up a 3 ton floor jack so I can change them myself if need be. Was very hot and tiring putting on the new one. Will take it and get another one for it. After this incident, going to replace the one that had the flat tire. Eventually going to replace two more. The Goodyear Marathon trailer tire I got does have one more ply than the ones on the RV. Got this one at Goodyear. The ones that came with the RV were made in China.
Had supper at the lodge tonight. Pork chops, beans on rice, cornbread, and salad for just $6. Again more than plenty. Almost finished all of it this time. The lady here at this park is an excellent cook and the quantity is huge. Finally got around to scanning picture of my nephew Dalton's third birthday picture.
Received some sad news this week. My cousin Estelee who we visited in Missouri on our way to Rockford this last spring went home to Heaven earlier this month. She had fallen in the bathtub back in June and never recovered. Some of you may remember her picture here on the blog. Our sympathy and prayers go out to Cousin Helen and her family.

Sunday going to Belle Chasse to babysit the grandchildren for a week. After that we will be getting back on the road. Most likely on our way to Lake Conroe north of Houston. Saw on the online Rockford paper they are having flooding in that area. The Kishwaukee river where we were camping is suppose to crest at about 8 feet over flood level. Weird when you think about it. We came down here were really concerned about Hurricane Dean and felt no affect from it, but remainder of tropical storm Erin affecting the area we were in this summer. ???
Congratulations to Scott and Robin on their wedding anniversary today.
