It is cold here, too

It was 12 degrees on our thermometer yesterday morning. It was cold enough for long enough to put a light freeze on the well pump.
The owners of the park have asked that we turn the water off to the park at night because of mother nature. So, when I went to turn the water back on yesterday morning there was no pressure in the tank. The pump finally thawed enough to give us pressure. The pressure didn't last long though, as a stand pipe, where the hose bib is at one of the sites froze then broke.
The temperature on Friday never got above freezing, and with the unusually low temp Sat. morning, things froze up pretty good.
As I said, this is unusual weather. We lived in this area for 26 years, before I retired, and I don't remember the temperature dipping this low. The weather guessers said this is the worst winter in 25 years.

A number of people left the park just after the first of the year, so, with the sites empty, it gave me an opportunity to clean up some of the sites. They do look better and I found some electrical problems that will have to be dealt with by the owners.
I am very happy as this gives me some things to do here and get a few hours.
The first of the month is always busy for Brenda, collecting the rent and keeping the books straight.
While the kids were here we went to the Battleship Texas. We all had a great time Lindsay really seemed to enjoy the ship.Becky said that, just out of the blue, Lindsay said that she really had a good time in Texas.
She is such a special kid. There is no prejudice, just fact.
I was in the Navy in the 60's, and I thought that life on the ship was difficult, but, after looking at this ship, we had it made. We had dormitory type compartments with bunks stacked up to four high, but these guys were in the passageway. Our bunks had a curtain to give us some semblance of privacy, these guys were just out there.
We had a chow hall, these guys set up a table in the bunk area, went and got their food and ate in the passageway.
The ship is under constant maintenance, so there are workers all over the ship.
The day we were aboard, they were practicing safely removing an injured worker from the superstructure.
They had put him on a back board, then placed him in a Stokes stretcher, which is a wire basket molded in the shape of a reclining person. He was secured with straps and lowered to the deck.
The Stokes stretcher has been a mainstay of the Navy for many years. I used them when I was in the Navy.

It is cold again this morning, 18.5, so we will turn the water back on after we come back from church. Hopefully there won't be any surprises this morning.

Speaking of church, I must stop and get ready to leave, so.......

Ta ta for now.
