Terrific storm passed through last night which kept us up most of the night/ Strong winds & heavy rain pounded & rocked the RV. It started around midnight and was still pounding away in the morning. Here is a video Doreen recorded around 0900 hrs. Check out the flag whipping in the wind!
The storm finally passed about 1100 hrs this morning and shortly after noon we headed out to one of the local H-E-B stores to pick up some groceries. In route it started to sleet and she captured a clip of it. It is hard to see but you can here the sleet hitting the truck hood.
After shopping we headed back to the RV and relaxed the rest of the afternoon. I made some phone calls and worked some stuff on-line. I had ordered a replacement engine air filter for the RAM diesel on Amazon and it arrived, so I changed it out. In the evening we drove down the road a couple miles to a local watering hole called Gilhooley's Restaurant and Oyster Bar.
I had read about this place as one of their specials is their grilled oysters! So I ordered a half dozen oysters on the half shell for an appetizer, and then a cup of oyster stew and a half dozen Shrimphooly for the main course, which are oysters grilled on the half shell in garlic butter and Parmesan cheese topped with a grilled shrimp on top. Doreen ordered a chicken quesadilla since she does not do seafood. Here is a link to their menu:

| Shrimphooley - supposed to be six but they gave me seven! Melt in your mouth! |
The food was outstanding! This place is a very short drive from our RV park, so I'm certain we will be back!
That's it for today. Tomorrow we will tour the Houston Space Center!
