Well here I am in Corpus Christi. It is hot but I am starting to get used to it. If sweating cleans out all the bad stuff then I am squeeky clean by now.  I am staying at the Modern Motel. It is the only motel in walking distance of the storage unit. I would never let a friend stay here.  The place is quite run down and dilapidated. The owners are rude and do not care. Motel prices are rather frightening in the summer here. Most times you are lucky to even get a room. I noticed a chalk outline outside one of the rooms. It is partially washed away so no telling how old it is. I hope it was a joke.

  So why did I not buy a vehicle to do all this busy stuff with? Pretty good question. I sold my pickup just before I realized I was not taking Mary Lee south last fall. When I was asked to caretake house in Thompson Falls, Roger gave me his 1978 project Ford Bronco to use. It runs great but I got used to walking everywhere. I needed to walk. Besides, If I owned a vehicle I would just have to sell it when I take off with boat anyway.
