To Siber Igel and Dickdog1,
You live in one of my favorate areas. I love the Kerrville area. Years ago, I used to stay at a little Mom & Pop Motel called "The Sands Motel" on Junction Hwy. I stayed there as late as 2001, but on my last visit to Kerrville, I found out that the Sands had been torn down, and they built a bank in that location. Probably because they built Wal-Mart across the road on Junction Hwy. Ended up staying in a big name motel close to I-10.
I normally drive there by going around San Antonio, then picking up TX-16, first to Bandara (having lunch at the OST Restaurant), then to Medina (having apple turnovers at the apple store), then continue on TX-16 to Kerrville. Last couple times there though, I see that the streach of TX-16 between San Antonio and Bandara is getting very built up. Too bad. Next thing you know, the "Ingram Loop" will be built up also . (Once had a bunch of geese chase me after I crossed that little bridge [the old bridge, not the newer replacement] over the river in Ingram).
Love that drive out 337, 187 and 39. Also like to visit "Stonehendge" on 1340.
Perhaps I will return to visit in a year or two.
Oh yes, back to the subject of Oil. You should not have any problems with GC 0W-30 out there, even in the year that has a hot summer, as I've been using it here in Central Florida all year, and this year has been HOT and Humid. No Problems.
