Seems like the only photos we take anymore is of our cats. Here are all 3 looking at the birds on the feeders out the back window.
Believe it or not we are still having appointments with doctors. Bob for followup on his thyroid removal surgery and various appointments for Jo. We of course have been eating out and will have a foodie report soon.
We spent yesterday working on 2017 taxes
and casting a mail in ballot for the 2018 Primary in Texas.
Till next time,

Kerrville-Schreiner RV Park has a 3 month limit so we packed up last week for another park in the area. We will miss the visitor we had while at Kerrville-Schreiner.
Don't know what it is but it sure was tasty :-) Just kidding, it actually is a Blackbuck Antelope found in the Hill Country of Texas. Here is a better picture from the web.
February is also the month our registration and inspection for the Lifestyle is due. We combined the inspection and the move to a new park on the same day. We got the inspection at Bolin Auto Services in nearby Center Point.
We've got that take care of for another year. Here is the route we took from Kerrville-Schreiner to Bolin Auto to By the River Campground in Kerrville.
We will be at By the River Campground for about a month and a half. The campground is for sale and this is an aerial photo from the ad. If you have $3.9M this could be yours.
Till next time,

We figured it was about time to get better entry steps. For comparison here are the original steps.
We bought the Porta-A-Steps from RV-Co.com. Here they are installed, the top step or deck rests on the top step of the original steps.
Our final two options were these steps and the StepAbove from MORryde. What we didn't like about the StepAbove is when the steps are raised into the door jamb the dirt, water, ice, etc. is brought inside to be cleaned up later, especially the moisture which you couldn't broom off entirely.
Believe it or not the steps we bought fold up for easier storage while traveling. Here is a photo from the website.
We really like the extra width and length of the steps and the top deck which is a lot bigger than the original top step. We feel a lot safer.

Because of some of the NFL players not standing for the National Anthem we quit watching NFL games this year.
So we didn't watch the Super Bowl yesterday and we went to a movie instead. We went to "12 Strong", the declassified true story of the horse soldiers.
Immediately after the attacks on September 11th a small group of U.S. Special Forces head to Afghanistan and partner with the Northern Alliance, a collection of ethnic groups which has been fighting the Taliban since its inception in the mid 1990s.
Chris Hemsworth (probably best known as Thor from the Marvel movies) plays Capt. Mitch Nelson who leads the group of 12 who were the first U.S. boots on the ground in the war that followed the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. We thought this was a good alternative to supporting the millionaire crybabies of the NFL and shows why we #StandForTheFlag.
We really liked the movie and recommend it. Well acted with tension at the beginning as the U.S. Special Forces were developing a relationship with the Northern Alliance. Of course there was a lot of action as they were outnumbered and outgunned and on horse back against tanks. When the movie was over we said to each other if this wasn't a true story we might think it was an outlandish plot.
Till next time,
Bob and Jo
