Rockport real estate sales remain slow. The Pilot paper is full of ads for "newly reduced" properties. Today's paper shows that one of our three bedroom end units has been reduced from $295,000 to $235,000. I would think that price would attract a buyer, but these are different times. Financing will always be problematic with one owner owning so many units.
Jerry Hill was in town yesterday and we visited for over an hour. He is getting help from the VA for his old war injuries and has been approved for a knee replacement. He is feeling much better than the last time I saw him.
CMT lawn care was here yesterday. They worked until dark and this morning things look very nice. Bedingfield pest control will be here on Monday to treat the units.
Pop is still stressing over the fact that the security cameras are not fully operational. Only two images are available for him and the resolution is not that great. Some fine tuning will likely be done soon.
I saw a white pelican in the marina yesterday. That has never happened. They are not usually as tame as the brown pelicans and stay away from homes and marinas. On Monday I was coming out the Walmart north entrance exit. I was moving only about 10 mph when a large, tall antlered buck ran right in front of me at full speed. He was coming from the area around Chili's restaurant. Had I been moving just a couple of mph faster we would have had a broadside collision. On Wednesday, the Rockport city council purchased this whole area between the old and new Walmart as well as a tract behind the new Walmart. There are 36 acres in all and they intend to make it a hike and bike trail.
John and Justin took John's pontoon boat on a fishing trip yesterday. They caught several small trout and one keeper at Scotch Tom Reef. They tried for Sheepshead at the bridge, but had no luck.
