Another 4th of July has passed and all is well. Parking was not a problem. The rain gave us a slight break. Even the wind wound down for a while. Jamie, the onsite rental management desk clerk had decided that fireworks would be banned for their guests because of the wind, but when the wind relaxed at dusk, she lifted the ban and the show went on. Rain started at 10 pm and the show was over. The Corpus show was delayed a day by the rain.
The cost of gasoline has made our parking lot a target for gas theft. Otis(604) left his pickup next to the tennis court and when he returned the tank was empty. Now he has installed a locking gas cap. I hope the boats don't become targets because they hold more gas than cars do.
Very few boats were able to get out this week. We went out Thursday evening and found a lot of trout at marker 25 at Long Reef. The bad news was that we did not get a keeper, but nearly every trout was over 14 and 1/2 inches. I had one good one on and the line went slack. When I pulled it in, the DOA and hook were gone, but the snap swivel was still closed. Now how did that happen? Some trout out there is starting a new fashion trend swimming around with that DOA hanging out of his mouth.
I noticed that Moyra Jardon's house is losing its beach. The sand has eroded out from under her steps in back and the end of the retaining wall has broken away.
Electricians were at work on the lights on the tennis court and security light Thursday and Friday. Tom was able to finally get enough of a rain break to cut the grass on Thursday. He has a new helper named Ron. Tom even came out on the 4th to clean up some of the scattered trash.
The rain took a toll on our parking lot and entrance road. It has been raining for six weeks and any small pothole is now much larger.
