Fall is Almost Here . . .

After coffee this morning I got back on some things on my chore list. I wanted to go through some bins and bags, throw some of the clutter that’s stacked up, find some things I’m looking for, and just generally tidy up. One thing I’ve started doing is consolidating things in different sizes of ziplock bags. Make them easier to keep track off.

About 3:30 I decided to take a nap break, and then a little after 5 pm, and right before the thunderstorms hit, we headed over to Mancino’s Pizza with Nick and Terry for a great meal. They have the best garlic breadsticks I have ever eaten, and their pizza is second to none. Jan and I had the Meat Grande with pepperoni, sausage, ham, ground beef, and bacon. Fantastic!

It really poured down while we were eating, but by the time we left it had slacked off. Then a little while after we home it started really coming down again.

The nice thing about the thunderstorms is that they’re bring the cold front, or rather the cold front is bringing the thunderstorms, but anyway, while the high temp was 94 today, for the next 10 days or so we’re going to have highs in the low 70’s and lows in the mid 50’s.

Very, very nice!

Tomorrow I want to concentrate on cleaning out some of the the bins. After that we’ll probably head over to Mishawaka with Nick and Terry for some shopping, and maybe a meal. We’ll see.

Great Day to Be Alive . . .

This morning was one of those nice mornings when it’s just great to be alive, and great to be RV’ing.

After coffee, Jan played Brain Age on her Nintendo DS. She used to do this a lot, but it somehow got packed away before a trip and Jan just recently found it again.

After lunch, I went out to take care of some errands, hitting Radio Shack, Menard’s, and Lowe’s.

Later on, Nick Russell came over and we went out to get gas and drop some mail off at the Post Office. Back at the rig I worked on some client stuff for a while, and ended up taking a nap at my computer desk.

A little after 6 pm Nick, Terry, Jan, and I, along with Al Hesselbart, historian for the RV Hall of Fame Museum, all headed over to Ryan’s for dinner. It’s always fun to get together with Al. He’s a real character, and knows everything there is to know about RV history.

After getting our fried chicken fix at Ryan’s, we got home a little before 8 pm, just in time to avoid the hordes of mosquitos swarming outside, and were in for the night after a very nice day.
