    The repair in that section of the road was complete.... :biggrin_25523: What a "joke"... next rain will wash all that away... but considering next rain might happen in March or so... that should be ok for a while.... :biggrin_1square1:

    The big house on the corner is where dad lives.... DSC00562.JPG

    It's much bigger than most houses in this area....
    From my hammock I can see the bedroom where dad sleeps....

    Hammocks in every room... living room, bedrooms....

    Whew finally landed in Dallas. Chicken load canceled so went with plan B. Plan B turned into a pita because I have a hard time thinking without speaking. Gave the broker a brilliant idea.:banghead:
