Food for thought.  That's the thing:  I have a full-time job down there that will demand 40+ hours/week from me.  If I don't get sufficient rest, I can jeopardize the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of people.  Plus, I have to be able to break free to take the 2 1/2 hour drive to check on my...

Will do!  :)

Where exactly will this posting be?  My employer is sending me to Dilley next month for a 2-6 month temporary duty that may turn into a permanent position.  I'll be working full-time (and then some), but my fiance' has been looking for income.  We have been appalled at the monthly rates and lack...

Just found  the thread.  USAF 1985-1991.  Lackland to Lowry to Hickam to Wheeler, then RIF'd in 1988 (thanks for nothin', Congress) and spent the last 3 years on Inactive Reserve. 22nd TASS, attached to the Army's 25th ID at Schofield. Daughter of a WWII Marine, sister of an Army vet, niece of...

Browncoats UNITE! (I'll be in my bunk.)

Well speaking from personal experience as a crazy cat lady, I think "catio" is an ideal name!  If I were you, I'd trademark it, stat.

Well, we finally did it!  We loaded up Serenity last weekend and took her on her first (with us) trip to nearby Jim Hogg Park on Lake Georgetown.  We'd tent camped there before (they allow it), so we knew which spots to ask for in order to have a view of the lake (woefully low as it is) and...

Guilty as charged.  I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could.  Ten years ago on Sunday, to be exact.  ;D  This is home to me.

Well, I got lucky!  (Not like THAT!  Sheesh....)  ::) I was following up on Ned's suggestion--sure enough, they were booked.  So I used my Good Sam benefits and some counter-intuitive thinking to do a little researching and found an RV Park on the lake near San Angelo--rarely high on the list...

Geez, that's a mouthful...    :o But it does say what I want to do.  We've finally getting Serenity ready to go on her first excursion--it took a LOT longer than I wanted.  But, wonder of wonders, not only am I able to have Memorial Day off, but I have the Friday before off, too...a FOUR-DAY...

Howdy from Texas!  I've had the sublime pleasure of visiting your fine province as a guest of Shell Canada back in 2000.  It ranks along with my tour through Italy last year as the best vacation I've ever had...and y'all are a lot more polite than the folks in Rome, j/s.  If you ever wind up in...

My ex is from San Miguel de Allende...marvelous town, although it's gotten far too Americanized to be a true Mexican experience anymore.  Anyway, on one of my early visits there in the late 80's, we walked down Calle Mesones toward the zocalo and passed a vendor who was roasting ears of...

These are my requirements (not necessarily in any order). 1.  Clean, but not necessarily antiseptic.  It's been my experience that if the ambience is sterile, the food is lousy.  But nothing stained, nothing wet, nothing sticky, and NO BUGS! 2.  Local.  Feature stuff you can get in the area. ...

"It's like no cheese I've ever tasted."  :D

There are so many cool places on or near IH-35, I could write a book.  I will caution you on one thing, though.  Time your journey through the Metroplex carefully.  You don't want to be anywhere near Dallas/Ft. Worth during rush hour.  IH-35 splits through the Metroplex:  35W goes through Ft...
