Dinner at Saltgrass restaurant in San Antonio and the big storm

Yesterday the four of us met up with Ally and Paige for dinner at Saltgrass restaurant, There are several of them in the southwest and Linda and I ate at one here in San Antonio this past spring and the food was awesome. It was just as good last night. Everyone enjoyed their food and it was another great visit.

 

Saltgrass is known for their steaks, and the three men had rib eyes which were great. Linda had crab cakes, Ally had stuffed chicken and Bobbie had a crab stack.

It is about an hour drive from our campground and the trip home was slow with the tail end of rush our. We got back about 7:30-8:00 and shortly thereafter it started to rain. It was a major downpour that did not let up for about 8 hours. Linda and I were up until after 2am. We had water coming in thru 3 roof vents and one ceiling light! We had bowls under the water to catch it and kept wiping up the drips. Did not sleep even after turning off the lights and were up by 7:30 to do damage control. Went to Camping world and bought 4 vent covers and caulking and spent a couple of hours on the roof doing repairs. HOPEFULLY that will fix the leaks.

All four us commented that we have never seen rain coming down with such intensity for such a long period of time. Watching the radar the storm did not move. It just kept changing shape. And the wind and lightning and thunder were very impressive. Various local reports say that we had 12-15 inches of rain in about 8 hours!

Hope we never have to do that again.

Tomorrow off to Whitsett to see if we can get a gate guarding job.

love to all of ya

Jim and Linda
