Dayton–NOT!
Today turned out to be pretty quiet. Jan woke up feeling distinctly under the weather. Not a migraine, but not feeling well at all. So we decided to put our Dayton trip on hold until we get down to the Thousand Trails, and do it from there as a day trip.
So since we were hanging around the rig today I caught up on some maintenance chores and repairs.
About 5 pm Nick and Terry, and I headed for dinner. Jan still didn’t feel like going out, but did want us to bring her something back from McDonald’s.
We decided to head back to C-Town Wings for dinner, and once again it was really good. I got my year’s worth of cholesterol by having the Behemoth BLT, made with 1 pound, yes 16 ounces of bacon. I could feel my arteries slamming shut, but boy was it good.
After dinner we made a quick stop at Menard’s before picking up Jan’s dinner at McDonald’s. Getting back home Jan was feeling a little better and the food helped even more.
Tomorrow we’ll head out between 10 and 11 for the Indian Lakes Thousand Trails about a hundred miles away. Nick and I both want to stop at a Blue Beacon Truck Wash that’s in New Paris, OH, right on our way. It’ll be nice to get all the South Texas Gate Guarding grime off our rig.

Air Hogs and Air Museums . . .
This morning Jan and I headed out about 10 to use the gift certificate for TC Coffee that we won during the rally, But they were closed. I guess they’re only open during the week.
So we headed back downtown to check out Java Nation, a coffee/sandwich place. It turned out to be a really neat place with really good food.
The breakfast sandwiches were delicious, as was the pumpkin spice lattes we had with it.
Across the street from Java Nation I found this beautiful 1948 Buick Roadmaster.
I seem to remember one of my uncles having one of these back in the mid-50’s, except his was red. Just a beautiful car.
One of the things Jan and I love about Celina is the novel architecture around town
It seems like there’s something different and more striking around every corner
After breakfast Jan and I headed out to get our weekly Wal-Mart. While we were there I found Nick and I a new toy. It’s a Air Hogs Blue Sky Hawkeye, a remote control plane that also has a still/video camera built. We ended up with one for each of us.
The Thousand Trails park we’re heading to next has a lot of wide open spaces, so not as many things for Nick to run into. We ought to have a lot of fun with these. Until we crash.
Later, about 5pm, a bunch of us (18 to be exact) headed over to the China Wok Buffet for another get together. Good food and good company, what can I say.
Tomorrow Nick and Terry, and Jan and I are going to make a day trip down to Dayton to visit the National Museum of the United States Air Force and the Dayton Aviation Historical Park, highlighting the Wright Brothers and the birthplace of aviation.

Thought for the Day:
"So we went to Atari and said, ‘Hey, we’ve got this amazing thing [the Apple Computer], even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we’ll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we’ll come work for you.’ And they said, ‘No.’ So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, ‘Hey, we don’t need you. You haven’t got through college yet.’" – Steve Jobs
