Chamber of Commerce

The weather here has been just spectacular.  Chamber of Commerce couldn't have asked for anything better.  Sky so blue and clear it almost hurts your eyes.  


The days have started out really cool and then into the mid 80's and just the right amount of humidity.  This is one of the bonuses we get for living in this area.  That will soon give way to scorching heat.  Hot enough to leave skin on the seat of your truck if you are wearing shorts.  Everyone wears them here then.  Even old guys like me.

I even went with Kim when she took the Grands down to the neighborhood park. 



I rarely go there anymore.  The lake is a place I used to fish quite a bit until we got to busy raising kids.  Then it went dry for a couple years.  It developed a leak somehow and wouldn't hold water.  The HOA got that fixed and restocked it this past year.  Maybe in another year there will be some catchable size bass and catfish in there again.  There isn't any cover for bait fish.  I hope that gets fixed.  My friend has helped the HOA with restocking since he is a fisheries biologist.  Maybe he can persuade them to put some dead trees and such in there.  There are already a lot of soft shell turtles in there.  Saw plenty of minnows and perch, a snake and some wading bird. 


The HOA for all it's problems really does a good job keeping the park updated and in really good shape.  It gets really crowded when there are events there.  It is becoming the focal point of our community it seems.  Kudos.

And lastly, yes, I stayed up for the entire Spurs game.  Almost 1:00 AM.  I was toast and had to nap yesterday.  It was a really exciting game, one they had to have.  Maybe, just maybe they will advance to the next round.  Fingers crossed.

Since the Grands are here, there may be no post tomorrow.  

Happy Trails.

Oops - as for the Spurs ... well, I'm not optimistic.
