Not shy about drilling into the Airstream anymore, and this came today from Amazon.  It frees up much needed counter space for the coffee pot.

It was easy to install after I cut the included screws down so they didn't pop through the shelving.

I'm learning quickly how to utilize the space available without making things look cluttered.  The main thing I've learned is to buy beer in six-packs instead of cases.

So, I'm heading out of the RV Park this morning, pretty early for a Sunday but I wanted fresh bagels and the early bird etc...

I ran this bad boy over:

It took three passes, but I believe I got him.  I actually got out of the truck with my gun drawn in case he tried anything funny, but I do believe I killed him dead and didn't figure on killing him a second time.

I walk around this area with flip flops all the time.  That's about to change.

I'm not sure what I like better.  Sleeping in until the sunrise hits my face and nature says get up, or waking up to the peaceful sound of my telephone at 6 AM asking if I'll cover call on the one day off I've had in the last 7 days.

I'm gonna go with the sunrise on this one, and I'll curse the nurse that called at 6AM some other time!

So yesterday I stop in Georgetown at the Blue Hole on the San Gabriel river.  It was pretty cool actually.

And when I got home, I'd noticed that my photo and write up got 5th place on Airstream.com's July contest!  http://www.airstream.com/five-places-visit-usa/

All in all a great day...now, off to Berry Springs for a walk in the park!

Spent the day doing laundry in my old apartment.  Free w/d and free electricity thanks to CCTC, so why not!  I gave my friend Kurt a fond farewell by covering his shift this afternoon at the hospital, where I promptly got used and abused by emergencies.

Sometime I think I'm just talking to myself, but anyway...

So today, I grilled for the first time in my new AS, and it turned out delicious.

But the cleanup was more than I'd hoped for.

And this morning, I put the first holes in my new AS, because it needed one of these:

I washed it all down with some Shiner Blond Light.  Another weekend over and done with, back to the OR tomorrow.  Yippee.

So me and my little Pushke drove up Texas 130 today, and parked our wheels at Berry Springs RV Park.  It was late so photos tomorrow.  I'm all settled in, the Bunn is hot and making excellent coffee as usual, and I think I'm all unpacked.  We'll reassess in the morning.  Hunker down, its gonna be my first night as a full-timer!
