Mostly, fortunately was a low drama visit. Sister in law had tried to turn bday dinner into a large party, and her mom put a stop to that when she heard. She’s not one for large groups, nor parties. Never know how visits will go. After a couple years at this campground, they said they leave mid Oct for 6 months in TX, or maybe OK. Going to be a well pad security guard for the winter.

this is a stop of last resort and/or in the middle of the night. They appeared half full this morning so all those folks came in after dinner.
Engine retarders are absolutely necessary but not this close in.
Maybe Loves should put up a sign saying Quiet Driving Zone
think anyone would pay any attention?

I'm killing time because of the time change a few minutes into this drive, so I can't leave until 9am because they are an hour earlier
so I went out and washed the entire rv, no restrictions here, worked up a sweat and changed into a dry golf shirt when done.

222 miles, 3:45 per software but that means 4 hours since if speed limit is 70 I'm only going 65

Scott have fun at the beach.

About 65F, clear, calm winds in Chicago this morning.

Making my last flight today, to JFK, with a good friend.

I see the Bigboy 4014 is making another trip east to Chicago, then down to Tx, before returning to Cheyenne.
Makes me want to go see it.
Drew, you might be near it on your trip.
Didn’t know it was making another trip this year after it did the California trip.

Wonder if all the work will affect pond overflow

It is another neighbor so no impact on the pond overflow.
But following what he is doing. Excavated out a flat area with fill on a slope and put up the 80 by 40 pole building locating 16 ft doors against the sloped side. I guess realizing that run off and space for getting into the building could be problems so he is now back excavating out more of the slope. Also too steep a driveway ending up too close to the front of the building restricting space to get into the building with any size of a vehicle

Son is frosh, no pic in the paper as far as I know of. They did win their first game against Jarrell here in Giddings last night 0-16. Frosh and JV play on Thursdays in opposite field of where the Friday night's Varsity game is played.

Well the rest of his team has their pictures in the paper. Maybe it is only in the out of town mail-out paper.

Morning all, 73 going to 85 and cloudy.
Lots of bucks around, 3 on one side, 2 on the other, all younger and still hanging out.
Peaches not ready yet. Got saw cleaned up and purged air compressor. One dehumidifier is starting to ice up, need to look at that.

PJS - sorry to hear about your stepson- so glad he is out of the hospital. Prayers sent for his recovery and that he can find a prosthetic that works well.

Nice place Scotty -

Drew - need noise canceling outdoor speakers?

Be well,

I stand corrected! You are right, he's on the frosh team bottom right corner.

Thanks for pointing that out.
