Slow going!

Nothing to report since last post.  We went to the coast last week for a family gathering.  It was nice to get away from work for a few days.  Things went pretty good for the most part.  Wanda and her son tried to do some fishing, but the fishing weren't biting.  Good thing we brought plenty of food!




We did run into a problem when our vehicle died on us at the campground.  We had to have it towed about 30 miles away to the nearest dealer, since we had someone check it out and he said the problem was the vehicle's computer.  And of course, only the dealer can program a new one.  The computer had to be ordered and shipped so it would take several days before it could be fixed.  We left the next day in Wanda's son's truck and headed for home - had to be back to work for a busy weekend.

We are now back in Houston to pick up our car and return the truck.  We will spend the night here and get the car in the morning and head back to Fredericksburg. 

It looks like another busy weekend for us, so we have to wait til next week to get back to making our papercrete bricks.  We are starting to get a lot of interest from our neighbors who have seen us out in the yard working on them.  We enjoy telling them what we are doing, and they are very fascinated.

I am hoping to get up to 40 - 50 bricks a week. (maybe wishful thinking?)
