On Sunday Kevin and I moved the Cardinal trailer to Arp, Tx. Kevin is supposed to start next week on a new project there. The park is just a parking lot with hookups. It does have a shower room and one washer/dryer room. Probably 20 sites. The good thing is it only takes 6 minutes to get to job site. We moved ahead of time due to future storms and just to have it already setup when needed. This will probably be an 8 month job. We are watching 2 storms Marco and Laura, both may get us. Marco is fizzling but Laura keeps shifting to the west. On Monday Marco is no problem but Laura projection moving closer. I mowed everything and got prepared for a storm. We held off till Tuesday morning but after watching projections we got Mom and headed to Junction. I wanted to get ahead of all traffic and we did. Smooth trip. We got to Junction about 2;00. We went back to town that evening and ate supper and bought a few grocerys. Regan and Kerry are in Montana but are planning to be back here in Junction Thursday night. Greg and Pam decided to ride it out at home. Kevin will go to his Moms for the storm. It was a really nice morning Tuesday, I was surprised as it was 61 degrees when I got up, Actually kinda of cool to sit on back porch in shorts. I didnt bring any long pants as I wasn"t expecting this. It warmed up to about 93 in the evening. With low humidity it was still ok as long as you were in the shade. We didn"t do much but watch hurricane news on tv. We did watch the deer and turkey in the morning and evenings. Hurricane Laura got to be a pretty big storm but lucky for us she did turn north and went in near Cameron, La. I checked the Entergy power map when I got upThursday morning and it appears we did not lose power back home. We were right on the edge, Beaumont without power along with Kountze and Jasper along East Texas. Regan and Kerry decided to head home to the Woodlands instead of coming here. We decided to head home Friday morning. We got about 5 miles down the road Friday morning when I got a low tire pressure alarm. I stopped in Junction to check pressure and air up. We found two air stations but the card readers were not working and no change for the machine. Could not get change either due to "coin shortage". Finally one station would give you an air chuck (have to show drivers license?? ) and the air was free. I was only about 1 lb low but after 30 minutes we were back on the road. I will get a battery powered air compressor to keep in Susans car. We stopped in Kerrville and ate breakfast. From San Antonio to Houston the traffic was heavy. Several times we came to stops but when it picked back up we could never see what the problem was. We got off 10 and took 99 and then 2100 to 1960 in Huffman . Much better drive. It was an 8 1/2 hr drive with 2 stops. We dropped Mom off and then went home. We were really lucky that the storm missed us. Now we will be getting ready to leave next Friday for Arkansas and Missouri.
