Mister and his little buddy . . .
I didn’t finally get to bed until about 3 this morning, so I slept in until about 11. Then Jan and I headed out for our walk about 11:30. It was really nice this morning, mostly cloud with a nice breeze.
Getting back from our walk, we sat outside with our coffee and the last of the delicious blueberry buckle that Terry made the other day. Nick and Terry came over while we sat out, so Mister had a nice time with his ‘little buddy’.
At least, that what Mister calls him.
A little later, the wind picked up so Nick decided to try out his Snapshot kite.
The Snapshot is one of those aerobatic kites that is controlled with two lines and can make very precise maneuvers, but it really needs a lot wind to handle correctly.
But unfortunately, the wind died out after about 15 minutes and that was it for kite flying for the day.
About 2pm Jan and I headed out for some shopping. We are looking a small shelf unit or cart to go at the end of the kitchen part of the slide. But it has to be moveable so the slide can come in. I think I’ve found something on Amazon, but thought we’d check locally before we ordered it.
But our stops at Lowe’s and Menard’s didn’t yield anything we liked, so I’ll order it online when we get home. Should be here Thursday.
On the way home we made a quick stop at Martin’s for a few things for our get-together tonight. Then it was back to the rig so Jan could prepare her Twice-Baked Potato Casserole and Garlic French Bread for tonight’s meal.
She was also nice enough to tell me to go take a nap, but I think it was just to get me out of her hair for a while. ‘Me time’, she calls it.
I don’t care what she calls it. I got a nap.
Terry Russell had spent the afternoon smoking several racks of ribs in her smoker after marinating them overnight. She also made Black Beans (from scratch, no less) and pico de gallo.
And joining us tonight was Al Hasselbart, the official Historian of the RV Museum here in Elkhart. We’ve known Al for a number of years, and it’s always fun to get together.
And along with Jan’s Twice-Baked Potato Casserole and Garlic French Bread, we ate until we hurt. In fact so much that no one wanted ‘dessert, or even ask about it.
Finishing up for today, I found a new toy. It’s a set of 3 remote controllable AC outlets, and two remotes. Each remote can control any switch and it has about a 60 foot ranges.
Super Switch Indoor Wireless Remote Control
Each outlet can handle 1000 Watts so it should be pretty reliable. I’ve got some ideas about how I want to use them, so I’ll let you know how they work.
Tomorrow, Shipshewana, maybe? We’ll see.
