Visiting Pat and Gary Colley in Bradford Pennsylvania

My intention was just spend the weekend with Pat and her husband, Gary, enjoying their hospitality and her garden. That's just exactly what I did.
 Saturday after Gary made his pancakes oatmeal, we drove over to pick up some vegetables at the local farmers market. Then we drove over to see her daughter's house and her daughter who is an artist and I asked her if she could paint a picture of Jack and she said she would.

That evening we again watched movies.

On Sunday we went to church where the minister preached salvation. Pat, her daughter, and a friend led the singing of the hymns.
When we went home, there was more soup and sandwich. I took a naps, I took pictures of the garden, Pat, and Gary.

Bagatelle bearing straight

March was ending I wanted to go sailing and I wanted to meet a prospective crew member, Ram. Ram lives in Houston. There's no water or not much water in the lakes around Austin, so I thought it would be a good idea to go down to Clear Lake to go sailing. I spent the week finishing up the composting toilet, when I should have been spending the week preparing the boat for the trip to Clear Lake. On Wednesday evening after work I had the boat hooked up to the truck and I pulled it out into the street to air up the tires. I was going to take Ellen Nunley back to Houston, so I asked Ellen and my wife to come out and inspect the lights. When I tried the turn signals and the brake signals. I discovered that the lights in the trailer did not work. It was already 6:00 when I made this discovery so I thought that I would have to forgo going to Clear Lake until I had the lights fixed. Instead I took the lights that I used on Frimi off. I installed them  on Bagatelle's trailer. I discovere

still house hollow lake survey

Stillhouse Park Lake ramp is usable the lake is considerably down there is a marina that's closed due to the drought the dock that accompanies the ramp is probably at least 50 ft above the water line so it's unusable I did a little survey of the marina to see if maybe I could tie the boat up there while I parked the truck I'm not sure that would be workable since all the docs near the ramp are roped off to construction and maintenance I'm leaning towards not using still House Park Lake until the water comes up which time I could probably use Travis again the good things about stillhouse Park Lake is there is a restroom close to the ramp unlike Summerville whether they were no restrooms anywhere near by the ramp that I used with Kai I watched a fisherman launch his boat which is probably a similar length to Bagatelle and I noticed that he ran his trailer out onto the ramp and it did not fall off the end. So in conclusion still a house
