Congratulations, hope you get many more nights in your CI.

That makes in sense Chicago with your shorter summer. I’ve got an aunt/uncle there & when visit them we often get there in the middle of June & my cousins had just finished school. In SC in August, we ‘re all sitting in the AC. The low last night was nearly 80.

That would’ve been rough on the teachers. Lol. We have so many kids in fall sports or in the marching band, we’re all in town & at school for practice. We only have 350 kids total. I coach Cross Country in the fall so I would have to be around anyway.

5:45 - oh good, we have an 85% chance of rain in the next 30 minutes. 7:45 - we now have a 2 % chance of rain.

Someone just took it on to do that. Look at the thread in the Awards titled New Manager for Awards.

It’s a trade off over when you start up and end. We never have waited until Labor Day to here. We always started in the middle of August. The coastal counties in SC wait to start, but they want their teens available for hospitality & restaurant jobs when during the heavy tourism weeks which...

2 more days and the school year starts for me. Mary Ellen has another week to go.

Like that one and Cook’s in Lexington. I knew I had better shot at being able to park the camper there.

Pictures from our 25K miles with Jeremiah starting with picking up in Necedah and our first camping trip in it at Oconee State Park. The cat inside was Indira (Himalayan). She loved the camper; we always had to check for a stowaway before taking off. The cat you’ll see is Ginger. He’ll sleep in...

We have 3 of the Ryobi fans you clip on. Ryobi and its parent company TTI have a big facility in my city. And we have Direct Tools Outlet store here too that sales mostly Ryobi branded stuff. Sometimes the price is no different than at Home Depot, but sometimes it’s a good deal. The fans are...

If you are planning a 2025 Grand Canyon trip this year, the North Rim will be closed for the season after fire burned many of the facilities there including the lodge & other buildings. https://apnews.com/article/grand-canyon-wildfire-lodge-north-rim-f3510c22a6fddc9ff1322dbd450aedb8

Yes, our hike in NM was an out/back trail. Normally try to avoid, but this was really different going in the opposite direction.

My mother and a couple of my aunts go just about every month. Small jobs like recovering seats my mother can do and she likes doing it. She’s become the family upholstery person. We had hoped to find something in the remnants where you pay by the pound. Couldn’t find anything we liked that...

We decided it was time to replace the curtains in our CI. We live in what once a textile hub and there still is some textiles here. One place is warehouse that opens one weekend a month to the public. This was the weekend since last weekend had the 4th on Friday. They have just about any type of...

This week’s Top 40 - July 8, 1972. - Bill Withers & Billy Preston are solid, but at #5 is Candy Man. Why? I like Sammy Davis, Jr just not this song. Procol Harum, Alice Cooper, Elton John, Derek & the Dominoes, Aretha Franklin. A lot good stuff, but there are some head scratchers.

We did see at least one Stuckey’s on this trip, We went in one in the Maryland Eastern Shore (if not Maryland, then Virginia eastern shore), And I’ve see Stuckey”s pecan logs in Pilot truck stops before. We mostly stopped at Love’s Truck Stops this trip.

Sanford-Yake Campground is located in the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area about 30 miles north of Amarillo, TX near Fritch, TX. There are 10 sites with water and electricity. To reserve these you call the marina (See the NPS link below for the number). This is a concessionaire run...

We camped here for a night on our way back from New Mexico. Not far from I-40 and it is on the Foss Reservoir. Had Site 1. Not a great site for summer as there was little shade, but we there late enough in the day it was not a big deal for us. Really nice bathroom and shower facilities...

Did not camp here, but went through the campground to get to the trail head for the Columbine Trail. Very shady and nice looking. Paved sites. Pit toilets. Water in the campground but not at each site. Close to both Questa and Red River, NM. Some sites reservable. Great trail at the back...

Located on Cochiti Lake. We were on the Buffalo Grove Loop which appeared to be pretty new looking at the facilities. We were on site 63. This loop is on a hill so the farther from the Bathhouse you are the more up hill you are too. Paved sites with covered, concrete picnic table. grill and...
