Not sure I feel much better either way. But the lighting IS perfect, and the "work uniform" I am wearing (I had an emergency call before I cuold leave town the night before) just makes it all the more....sinister. FWIW, my favorite version -- probably becuase I grew up with it. The Danny Divito was certainly more grotesque, but that didnt' help the movie much. Now, Michelle Pfeiffer...
On the travel front, I'm exhausted - Craig and I needed to make an adjustment to the forum today, which went exactly according to plan.
I left Necedah around noon today, and made it to southern Wisconsin before I realized that my wife was still working with problems at home, where she said, "You know....anotehr day won't hurt" combined with just being a bit frazzled after a great time....I'm stopped for the night at a state park in Indiana. Still have a small push in the morning, I'll do that as soon as I wake up.... no alarm clocks tomorrow.
Last night (sunday night) at the campground was so quiet --- after everyone was there, my ears still echoed. I saw 2 brave souls still there on my way out this morning....that is just a beautiful park.

Good morning world. The sun is still rising north of Timms Hill.
Very nice. I missed the sunrise Monday at the park -- but the little bit of the sky I caught, was remarkably similar. Beautiful.
FWIW --- made it home finally at 11:15 on Tuesday. The drive back was brutal, having to stop for another night at Tippicanoe River State Park in Winamac Indiana -- nice night, only a hand full of people there. But it gave me what I needed -- a good night sleep, and most of all not driving at night. I'm finding that is something I do NOT enjoy any more. In decades past, I'd drive 20 hours straight to get to our Florida escape -- no more.
We spent 6 days in Yellowstone and the Tetons WITHOUT the crowds last week
Last visit was 1994 with 4 kids and a pop-up. Weather was beautiful - upper 50's low 60's for highs and lows around 35-40. Did some fly fishing and hiking and saw plenty of wildlife. We saw our first Grizzly and Wolf which was just awesome.
No CampInn, we stayed at Grant Village Lodge. What a place!

Just wow! Great pics!
Thanks. It's hard to take a bad pic when you're surrounded by that kind of scenery. And we lucked out and hit it with the Aspens at their peak of color, which we've never seen

It amazes me how fast the weather changes up there. I mean we picked our camper up in early november (I think -- maybe mid) and it was icy and snowy --- which had me freaked out, and is how I found Colinite wax.
Does the same here too, but not with the brutaility you deal with
We'll see overnights kissing freezing in about 3 weeks --- Halloween is usually when we start turning on the furnace. Still too soon!

Yep, 90 on Saturday, hard freeze this morning....nice part was that there were a lot fewer bugs to clean off the plane when I landed this afternoon. One more hard one should finish them off.It amazes me how fast the weather changes up there.

HAHA -- been flying much lately? I keep hopign to get the money and time to line up together. I found a local resource who knows Corvair inside and out --- apparently, he can build them in his sleep. It may not be smart, but the engine is coming first -- I have it, and its taking up the same space wether it is assembled and tested, or rusting.
OF course this is predicated on the fact I'll be home over the winter --- I may be in florida or warmer climates!
From there, empennage, wings, and fuselage - mostly starting small allowing me to move completed itesm to storage for final assmebly. I got the itch, its time to just do it...pay as I go and as I can afford it rather than thinking of it as one big bite, which is what has stopped me.
Of course I say then and i start thinking...hm....fiberglass...I know a lot more about that than when I decided metal was the way to go --- and I think I get can be plan on a Long-EZ 'inspired' blueprint...

Solar powered miles in Cybertruck and camper - Victron Energy
Whilst Eddie and his wife Louise go hiking, their Cybertruck refuels itself from the sun. Proponents of living sustainably, their tow vehicle just has to be electric …and they prefer boon docking to organised sites. Those two preferences seemed to be incompatible until Eddie had an idea which...
