It is a Thursday morning, and its warmer than it has been for the last two days. The offical temp for that morning was 33 but we were colder than that. We have a water bottle for weight on the tripod and the water froze. I had unhooked the water hose and put it away in case we got below freezing. Yesterday the water froze and it was above freezing officially at the airport, DFW.

And this morning it was 35 here at our location, per Weatherbug for 76126 zip code. I have not been out to check the water but it did not freeze. We have been on the water tank for three days now. I will hook us back up today and fill the water tank. Get us ready for the next cold snap .

We will dump the tanks tomorrow which will be day six. This amounts to 10 showers, 15 dish washings, potty and hand washing. So far we fill the black tank first. DW pours the dish washing water into the black tank, saving the grey tank for showers, etc. Our grey tank could be larger than the 52 gallons it is. By the sixth day, the black tank is very full. Why is it not 12 showers? We shower Monday night even though we dumped in the morning. So, Monday is counted as day one.

Suppose to be 61 today and 68 tomorrow. nice. Low for tonight is 38 and then its above 40 for the next four days. Nice weather for outdoor activities. After I see the VA hospital appointment on 12/2, I may get to play golf. YEA! I might even get to exercise too.

DW is doing great. She takes good care of me and herself. She pushes me to take my pills. I do anyway but she usually asks. I do the same for her as sometimes we do forget. Like last night. OOPS!

Today is the funeral for the Dallas police offer killed in the line of duty last Sunday. He was 15 minutes away from ending his shift when he answered a domestic violence call. He had a wife of two months. Tragity can strike at any time in any place. Remember all your public servents everyday.
