Hondo, TX - SKP

Monday - It's warm again! In fact, the A/C just kicked on at 11:30am! I was testing the "Auto" function on the thermostat which switches between the heat pump and the A/C but since you have to pick a one temperature, it either has the heat too warm or the A/C too low. So I'm forced to learn how to program the thermostat. It's now set to switch to "Auto" at 9am at 72°F and the heat pump at 9pm at 68°F. We'll see how that works over the next couple of days.

Tuesday - The mount for the dashcam had broken a while back and I was just going to replace the camera. But I have all of these bits and pieces for the GoPro. There must be something that'll work. i did find some pieces that I "modified" with a Dremel and I think that it should work. Probably better than the original mount as the GoPro bits are much sturdier.

BTW, did I mention that it’s hot again. Quite the change from last week. I’m not sure how long it’s going to last but, hopefully, it’ll stick around for at least a week. 

Thursday - Today was the coop annual meeting. Right after the meeting was over, we were off to the airport. The cheapest flight we could find was on Frontier where they charge for everything. If you need to talk to an agent, that’s $20.  It took a while to figure out how to check in and get a baggage tag printed out ($55 for the first bag as long as it’s under 40#. The counter staff didn’t even show up until the 2 hours before the flight. At that point, the line was almost the full length of the concourse. 

Renting a car at the airport yesterday afternoon to return today was a reasonable, cost-saving strategy. It was less than long term parking and less than Lyft/Uber. And much more convenient. More later on the reason for the trip.
