Cyndi and I take off for "our second home" for a three day Easter weekend. We plan to talk to an electrician about setting us up a breaker box and and an electrical outlet on the pole that the electric company will be setting up soon. When we had broke down last October, we met a man from Leakey (Jerry Bates Jr.) while we were in Uvalde getting our truck repaired. He runs a shop on the outskirts of town, so we had stopped in during our last trip to see if he knew of a good electrician. He told us that his father (Jerry Bates Sr.) was the man to talk to. We met Jerry Sr. this trip and worked out a deal with him. We should have some electricity within the next few weeks.
When we rolled in on Friday, it was pure sun and quite warm (in the 90's). Saturday, the rain rolled in and it got rather chilly. By Sunday morning, it was sunny again, but in the 40's and quite cold.
