Piper and Landon
Did the final checkout on Nick’s tail lights and everything’s working now. It’s about time. At least I’m sure that’s what Nick is saying.
Around 2 pm I headed to do the final final pass trying to squeeze out a few more door prizes out of local restaurants, with a little luck, but not much.
I’ve got one more pizza place to stop by tomorrow on my way to Chicago to pick up Jan at Midway International. Hopefully they’ll come thru.
Jan should be in at 2 pm tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully it will be more on time than when Jan left here last Thursday. The flight was 75 minutes late leaving Chicago, so I’m going to take plenty of reading materials just in case.
About 5 pm Nick and Terry, Mac McCoy, the Fire Guy, and his lady friend Cheryl, Mike and Elaine Loscher, and I went over to El Maguey, our favorite local Mexican restaurant, and as usual, spent more time talking than eating. Although you wouldn’t know it by looking at Nick and I.
I talked to Jan about 8:45 tonight. She was packing, getting ready to fly out tomorrow. These 10 days are the longest we’ve been apart since the early 80’s when I was working Shuttle Missions out at White Sands. I’m not good at doing the bachelor thing anymore.
Here’s the latest Landon photo, shown here being held by his aunt, our 16 year-old (soon to be 17, she will tell you) granddaughter Piper.
Two real sweeties.
The park is really filling up with the Rally starting Monday. It’ seems like most people are already here.
Here’s the park today.
And here it is a few weeks ago.
Today…
And a few weeks ago.
Big difference!
More tomorrow…
