Trinity Trails

Only natural falls in Ft Worth, TX

We've have a good time so far being around Ft Worth, TX.  We dodged the worst of the storms on Tuesday.  We had a great visit and dinner with Mike and Sandy at Yucatan Taco Stand on Wednesday plus a tour of downtown Ft Worth.  We also ran across Trinity Trails - walking and hiking trails along the Trinity River throughout Ft Worth.  So Wednesday and Thursday we walked a couple of sections. Wednesday we walked a section along side NAS Dallas. 

We were serenaded by Lockheed Martin playing with one of it's Joint Strike Fighters  as we walked by the only natural waterfall in Ft Worth.  Thursday we took advantage of mid 70s with low humidity and walked along the southwest section which passed by two parks and near upscale subdivisions.   

While here, we've also bought out Lowe's and had good lunches at Riscky's BBQ and Black-Eyed Pea.  Hubcaps arrived, but mail hasn't.  Wonder what's up with that? We've also upgraded the bike cover to a large outdoor BBQ cover.  I think it's gonna work much better.  Donna's been out shopping.  It appears an IPAD2 may be in our future.

We also spent sometime at a local Verizon store troubleshooting the Mifi.  Verizon found some questionable info on the file for our Mifi on its servers.  So while the computer was connected to the internet via our Mifi, we pulled the Mifi battery and SIM card and reinserted.  So far, so good.  Still curious how the Mifi can show 4 bars of signal strength when the cell phone shows only one bar.

Security

Also got the water softener out, setup & started.  I thought I'd be smart and do all the hookups with brass quick disconnects.  These attachments have worked well with our water connections, so I thought it'd help setup and breakdown the water softener when we move.  Nope - not for me.  I have a choice: 1)  have the disconnects tight so that water doesn't leak, but the disconnects won't stay connected, or 2) have the disconnects stay connected, but all the hookups leak like a blown levy.  I'm beginning to get really concerned over all the stuff Donna and I buy that, in the end, really doesn't work.  Not sure this is how you get your economy back up to speed.

Anyway, Memorial Day is fast approaching.  More rigs are coming into the campground.  Happy Memorial Day!

Later! David
