Day 19

Another travel day.  We got up at 7.  It was dark, but it was light by the time we left at 8.  It was about 380 miles and we did it in 6.5 hours.  We could have done it faster, but we had to make two fuel stops instead of one.  That was because the places we could stop at weren't spaced the way we needed them to be.  Other than that it was an uneventful trip.  We did have a good time listening to the audio book we have, the Lamb by Christopher Moore.

We got to Fredericksburg about 2:30.  After setting up we went to HEB.  It was really nice to shop at a nice grocery store with Texas prices.  After that we stopped at a place to see if we can get a safety sticker for our trailer.  They said yes.  I plan on stopping there on Wednesday morning when we leave.

We had some time when we got back, so I decided to closely examine the damage Ellen did to the kitchen cabinet.  She bent a hinge, bent the door handle bolts, bent the door handle, and cracked the door.  The door won't shut securely anymore.  So I removed the door and bent the hinge back into shape.  The door handle bolts were too bent to unscrew, so I used the Dremel to cut them.

Then we went to the hardware store for parts.  I got new door handle screws, tubing to make hinge pins for the table hinges, and screws to mount the towel rack to the cabinet door.  When I got back I fixed the door and replaced the hinge pins.  I started to cut the towel rack, but the Dremel ran out of battery.  I'll have to fix that tomorrow.

The evening was Monday night football.
