Austin, Longhorns, BBQ and No Sleep










Yesterday we made bacon in the air fryer again, it was awesome.  We did a kettlebell workout and walked the dogs a few times.  Shopping for the next week was on the list.  We are also still under a boil notice that could have caused us a problem.  More on that later.  

We hit Costco and Whole Paycheck for some supplies.  We also went to Petco which was in a sketchy part of north Austin.  There were Austin PD all over the place so it must be safe right.?  There are tent cities with water and porta potties all over the place.  Just about anywhere there is an overpass.  With services you’d think they would be clean areas (I would think) but that is far from the truth.  

Based on a recommendation from Tim, we went to Rudy’s BBQ for a late lunch.  We split a half rack of Baby Backs and some brisket with a small coleslaw.  It was great 10/10.  This is the first time we’ve had Texas BBQ in the month we’ve been in Texas.  Katy said it’s the best BBQ she has ever had.  For me, it is right up there with St Louis BBQ.  

We came back and walked the dogs.  Even with the fan on in the trailer it got to 84*.  I guess that means we need to keep the A/C on when we leave.  We also did a little reorganization in Sis and the truck.  I also added the new vinyl stickers to Lola.   

Katy found a recipe on Tastes Lovely for a beef stew.  It was paleo/keto and was 👌👌.  We’ll definitely make that one again.  It was pretty easy to make and we tag teamed the process. We also fed some carrots to the Longhorns.   

A while after the dogs ate, Maggie seemed like she needed to puke.  I took her out several times with no luck.  We had a little 3% peroxide on hand and a few shots of that did the trick.  Unfortunately the smallest amount came out of her outside and the majority was in Sis.  She seems to be doing good now.  I think she may have had a hairball, the heat got to her or the boil water advisory means for dogs too.  

Duncan then got up at 1, 3, 5 and 630 with diarrhea.  We made it outside for all of them as he is not quiet at all.  I also had to wipe his a$$ of excess liquids 🥴.  I made a pot of rice this morning and both of them are off hard food till it’s gone.  Rice and chicken broth are the meals of the day.  Again, it could be the heat or the boil advisory applies to dogs too.  On a side note, I had a 32oz bottle of the same water with salt, potassium and magnesium in it and I’m doing ok.  We do have a filter on the hose coming into the trailer.

The End of 24’

 As 2024 comes to a close, we are in a cabin near Show Low AZ.  This area is beautiful at first glance and we will be here for a week.  It reminds us of Bend/Sisters, but it’s way smaller.  This is the first time Katy has been out of the RV since 12/1/20.  We are looking forward to exploring this area.  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year!   We took a trip up to Tucson and stayed at Catalina State Park.  It was a great trip and we enjoyed the lights at the botanical gardens.  The state park is great and really spread out.  We also had a seRV event with Full Time Families, where we made cards for the kids and families at Ronald McDonald House.  It was an amazing event and we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  The kids who participated were awesome, they helped us set up and tear down.   The next day we co-hosted another event in Sierra Vista.  We partnered with Wr...

North Again?

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.     2025 is starting off pretty big.     We had a great time in the Show Low, Pine Top and Lakeside area.     Katy and I stayed in a one room cabin with the pups and it was fun, but after a few days we missed having our own stuff and our bed.     The area is cool and we had fun exploring Greer which was like driving down to the Metolius.    We went up to the ski hill the same day.    There were 1 or 2 runs open of man made snow and about 400 cars worth of people sharing the hill.    Not our jam.    The Pinetop Brewing Co was a fun stop, they have great beers and good food.    Beer brewed at 7,000’.   We took a tour of Petrified Forest NP and really like it.    It is a mixture of Blue Basin, The Painted Hills and the Badlands with a spattering of Fossilized Trees.    It’s worth getting out and taking the short loops in the par...

Want to go to Skagway?

Image
Friday we drove from Teslin Lake to Whitehorse Yukon.    We got on the road pretty early and were surprised to not see any wildlife along the way.    First stop was the laundromat.    Two XL washers and three dryers later and we were in business.    We met another full time couple doing laundry, who are traveling to Juneau for the summer.   Barry said they had a 5 hour ferry ride from Skagway to Juneau.    We then got to chatting about Skagway and the fact it was only two hours away.    I had been looking at it on maps but didn’t realize we were that close.    We parted ways and headed to Woodcutter’s Blanket Bar and Brewery for lunch.    Good beer…pass on the food.    While at the bar, I suggested we head to Skagway for a night or two as we will not have full hookups in Fairbanks until 5/4 ish.    I then talked myself out of it and Katy said let’s go for it.   We book...
