1 March ; Another rainy ,cloudy, misty and foggy day. Even our 45.00 Indoor/Outdoor AccuRite Thermometer is confused as it was predicting cloudy weather ( no rain ) and to top it off it also says it is 5 degrees colder in our MH with the furnace on than it is outdoors with the rain and windy. That sucker is going back to Lowe's this week.
We had planned to go to South Padre Island today with our friends, the Meakins and Terry but we have reservation on the weather so we will delay our launch time until noon, hoping ( some folks are praying ) for a clearing skies.
Oh well, watching curling in a cozy MH isn't the worst thing that can happen to us.
Both Carroll and Shirley really wanted to go to South Padre before the Kids on March break Stampeded onto the Island which starts this week. Winter Texans are Persona Non Gratra once the March Breaker's " Take Over " the Island.
Anyhow the girls decided that we will go to the Island so we did as it is only a 1 hour drive. We have not been there for 5 years so we noticed that it has built up considerably since then and there are many more upscale Hotel built and being built since then. It is obviously an attraction to some people but it is not my cup of tea because during the winter months it is dam, and foggy most morning and you seldom see the Sun until at least noon.
They have several restaurant on the Island but our choice is one of several owned by Dirty Al's. Dirty Al also owns the fishing Fleet so he sells fish to all the restaurants he doesn't own. Apparently each of his children run one of his restaurant and of course they have different names such as "Daddy's. Most Winter Texan's go to Dirty Al's as the food is excellent. They always have Happy Hour from 4 to 7 PM and a Jug of beers is 5.00 which is attractive to the "cheap " seniors including yours truly. cheers
