Shady Grady thinks he’s something after figuring out how to get on top of Jeremiah.

Rain! Hopefully, it helps with the brush fires we’ve had in the area. Especially the one I have to drive through to work.

70s & 80s this week which is closer to normal for us in April. Getting pretty dry here though. Burning ban in effect across the Palmetto State.

Last night as my track meet was ending around 9:30 pm and I was boarding the bus to head back to Due West, SC where my school is located, I wished the meet had been on Saturday as originally scheduled. Now that is Saturday and over 90 here, I’m glad it was last night. And what is Due West, SC...

Cooler week for us but nothing like some of you. Just about the last of having to wear a jacket or sweatshirt for the spring unless it rains. I was surprised at having to add a layer last night in Columbia for a track meet. Usually, Columbia is hotter than the surface of the sun.

Unpacked, cleaned up and ready to be loaded for the next excursion.

You heard about our wind I see.

Not much rain here either. Winter is usually pretty wet in Upstate SC. Lake Hartwell is done 7-8 feet right now.

Rain, then rain with wind. Next the sun came out. Since we backed up 2 miles of Lake Hartwell behind our site, we had wind. Then really windy. And still pretty breezy at 9:47 pm.

Mary Ellen and I helped hide 2000 Easter Eggs and then helped herd kids during the hunt.

Sunset after a nice relaxing day. Helping hide Easter eggs here at the park in the morning. The Ranger here at Sadlers State Park was a student at a high school where I Asst Principal 25 years ago. He does a great job here & has improved it a lot since coming here.

How I watch tv these days with Shady Grady.

Made it Sadlers creek State Park until Monday. Discovered the GFI outlet in our carport had been tripped and now we need a new battery for Jeremiah. Fan not opening so obviously it is not running either. Trying to figure out if the fan problem is a byproduct of the battery’s demise.

3 days of school and one track meet until 2026 camping begins for us.

It was a cold, windy day and I left my sunscreen at my daughter’s house so my face got cooked. AP is a freshman at Davidson & her dad is my principal. My school is a class A school of 350 kids so she was overlooked by a lot of people. Great kid, but if you race her she will make you question...

Got to watch my former runner win the Mile and set a school record for her college at the meet.

At the height of pollen season here so everything is green at the moment. Heading to Mooresville, NC. to see our daughter. While im there, I’m going to watch one of my former runners compete in a college track meet. Sounds like we are going out for Korean BBQ to celebrate our daughter’s 28th...

Forgot had taken these with the turkey vultures hanging out on the Firetower.

I rode my bicycle out to this spot sometimes. Takes an hour to get there. There is a landing strip there that is mostly used by a model plane club. Good place to take a break and watch the planes, then ride home.

Nice here today with temps near 80. That’ll change this week. Find out when high school spring sports can start in SC & avoid camping here that week, it’s always wet/cold. First track meet is Tuesday.
