LET IT RAIN....Texas Hill Country
Keep Your Fingers Crossed
We could see some ominous clouds for a few minutes this morning before the thick, dense fog set in here at Canyon Lake TX.
Keep your fingers crossed; the weather spokesperson, Storm Tracker Weather Cast, said there is a good chance we will get anywhere from 1-3 inches of rain this evening North of San Antonio in the Texas Hill Country (Boerne, Bulverde, Canyon Lake, Spring Branch and New Braunfels).
Unfortunately everyone still has red eyes and runny nose from the high levels of Mountain Cedar that is in the air. Maybe the rain will settle down the Mountain Cedar.
Everyone please keep your fingers crossed that we get this much needed rain here in Texas.

A beautiful location:  Come check it out! Information: ReelFly at Sattler TX 830-964-4823 ReelFly
This is the latest report for fly fishing that I could find.
Gaudalupe River Below the Canyon Dam...
On the Orvis website, http:/ /www.orvis.com/fishing_report.aspx?locationid=6881, Alvin Dedeaux on January 17 reported that the fishing conditions for Rainbow Trout below the Canyon Dam were good. He suggested that the best time of day to fish was mid-morning until early afternoon and the best place to fish was from the 4th crossing down to the 2nd crossing. The water temperature was 56 Degrees F and the water clear with 24 inches of visibility. To find out more about the “Must Have Fly Fishing Patterns, click the link above.
For more information you can also visit Texas Parks and Wildlife website

I'm not a Fly Fishermen but I always see folks fly fishing for trout. (I recently saw this stated in a magazine...Did you know that fly fishing below the Canyon Dam on the Guadalupe River is one of the best places to fly fish in the US)? I may have to take up fly fishing.
Listed in America's 100 Best Trout Streams, the Guadalupe River in Texas is the southernmost Trout fishery in the United States. It is a tailwater fishery, which emerges from the bottom of Canyon Lake, harboring a very cold water layer due to the lake’s depth giving Rainbow and Brown Trout a chance to live through the harsh Texas summers.

My Christmas present from Carl. No it wasn't jewelry or a new car it was a Food Saver.
I really wasn't too excited at first. My first thought was "Oh no another gadget for the kitchen", but after today I swear by it. I ruined by first two seal tries, but hit a home run with my third try after viewing the DVD that came with the Food Saver. I guess it does pay to read the instructions or view a DVD.
It says it will save you time and money and prolong the life of your food. It was simple to use; simply sealed off one end, then I cut the length I needed, put my meat in the bag, reinserted into the machine, pressed the button and out came out a nice ready-made vacuum package of two steaks. Yes, H.E. B.had steaks on sale so I splurged.
 Always follow the instructions. It also has ways to vacuum seal canisters with dry food items. It will be great when our spring vegetable garden comes in and I can vacuum pack my vegetables and fruit.
That's my story for Sunday afternoon and I'm sticking too it. Enjoy the football games everyone while I'm in the kitchen playing with my new Food Saver. I now have to find a place to store it that is easily accessible.
If you are buying a new house and folks are asking what you want tell them a Food Saver.
For your next home inspection call Carl Winters if you are buying in the vicinity of San Antonio or New BraunfelsTX. 830-660-0131

When was the last time you figured up how much you spend on home services, yearly and monthly; along with other items. Let's do a comparison.
_____________________________________________________________
My Thought Provoker Question
You do the math and a comparison of cost.
Your home inspection cost and fee for service to the inspector is a one time charge.
This alone should give you peace of mind when you are spending thousands of dollars for your new home.
______________________________________________________________
Now jot down what you pay for monthly and yearly services. (a few examples)
1. Maid service ________
2. Swimming pool cleaning _______
3. Pest Control ________
4. Bottled water delivery ________
5. TV cable, Direct or Dish ___________
How about entertainment and vacations and memberships?
1. Ticket price for a family of four to Sea World, Schlitterbahn, Fiesta Texas
2. Visits to restaurants and tips
3. Hair salon, spa
4. Spurs Basketball tickets
5. Football games
6. Movie tickets
You buy a home, you order a home inspector to conduct the home inspection. This comes under services.
The inspector ensures that the inspection and inspection report will meet all applicable requirements for the state of Texas. All home inspectors in Texas come under the umbrella of TREC (Texas Real Estate Commission) and abide by a well recognized standard of practice and code of ethics.
The inspection will take approximately 3-5 hours (longer depending on the size of the home). The standard inspection report includes a review of the home's heating and air-conditioning systems; plumbing and wiring; roof, attic, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors,and foundation. A detailed report with digital photos are supplied to you the buyer.
When you finish your comparison... how much you spend for services and other items,you will be glad you ordered the home inspection. It's a minimal amount for a one time service charge to inspect the home for any issues that may need attention before you complete the purchase.
