A Police STOP at 2 AM

An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night.

The man replies, "I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."

The officer then asks, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"

The man replies, "That would be my wife."

ONE DAY CLOSER TO OUR DREAM

Camping And Learning

 

Thursday we watched the weather and it looked like it was going to be a good weekend to hit the road and get in some camping before the weather starts getting to cold.

We loaded up and headed to the state park about a hour way. Thinking since it was Thursday we would get about any camp site we wanted.Wrong.

As we drove around thru the camp ground all the good sites either was taken or had a reserved card on it. Guess we weren’t the only ones watching the weather.

Found a suitable place to park and set up.

It was a nice spot with no one on either side of us. Thinking it was going to be a nice and quite weekend.

 

Wrong again!!!! Friday here they came camper after camper, pickups full of bikes and kids  and dogs. The next thing we knew we were over run and felt like the walls were closing in on us.

We learned another lesson on this camping thing. DON’T go camping on the weekend especially when you live close to a large city. We will start going during the week or boon docking and be home on the weekend. 

We did make the best of it made and used the new Dutch Oven to make beef stew.

 

Max enjoys sitting around the camp fire in his own chair sitting next to mine..

I did get out to ride my bike early Friday around the lake there is a paved bike path that is 4 miles around it.

Angela had a bum leg so she didn't get to ride her bike. We did get the dog’s out for a walk around the lake.

All and all we had a good time and learned a lesson on what we like and don’t like in our camping.

Class l V Hitch Install... (patent pending..)

Wouldn't you love to see how the trip went...?

Good chance he ended up doin' some unintended off roadin' somewhere.

 
Check the 'hills' in the background. 

Howja like to meet this rig on a two-lane road....coming down the mountain in your direction....power steering works real good now.

She's hitched up and ready to roll!!

 
Amazin' how the extra weight smoothes out the ride.
Needed to air up the rear tires a bit ('bout 160 psi).

Added some super heavy-duty chain for extra support on the tailgate, (note the 'Heavy-Duty 'S' hooks to attach the chain)

 
Also paid-up for some BIG Number 5/16 sheet metal screws to attach the Reese hitch frame to the tailgate (see 'em there? one on each side...)

 
Likely two more through the carpet into the floor pan inside....
Yep, probably overkill, but didn't want the possibility of having an axerdent.

Most of the time was spent on the front porch whittling down that MASSIVE solid pine 4x4 to fit precisely down into the hole in the ball mount receiver.

 
Note also - The 14"x14" piece of 3/8" plywood on the underside of the tailgate to distribute the load more evenly and beef up that tailgate support.

 
'A MAN CAN'T BE TOO SAFE'...!!
They are out there, folks....... and they 'REPRODUCE'!

Plans Made In Jell-o

 

We had plans to take a little camping trip this past week but living in the Midwest the weather does not always corporate. It’s been cloudy and cool and it was going to rain. This must be what they talk about plans made in jell-o, and of course it will warm up and be nice and sunny Monday when I go back to work. 

Friday we did decide to do something we haven’t done in 20 plus years.

We arrived early as soon as they opened. We wanted to start before anyone got there, just to trying to save any embarrassment we were going to have.

    

                                                                 This didn’t help our game but it  made it a little more fun!!

 

Check out our pro looking forum.

I don’t think we have to worry about anybody wanting us for a fall league!!

After making fools of our self it was time to get something to eat. Not to far away a few blocks there is a BBQ place that was made famous on Dinners, Drive-ins and Dives.

 

The place has a lot of trophy's and awards hanging all over the place.

And the best part was the food.

The weekend is over and time for some of us to go and do that four letter word. (work)

I want to thank Sunny http://sunnyischanginglanes.blogspot.com/  for following our blog. Sunny has a couple blogs check out her paintings they are very good and beautiful.

9-11-01

 

 

This Sunday blog is short and to the point. This day is to remember what happened to our country 10 years ago.

If you have been watching TV this week and remembering what happened to us 10 years ago today.

I’m sure everyone knows where they were 10 years ago. I was working at Fort Leavenworth, Ks.We were told that no one was to leave or come on the post and to plan on staying all night. We got to leave that night,but the next day it took about 1 or 2 hours to get back on post to go to work,cars were lined up and everyone and car had to be checked.

 

Please pray and Never Forget the people that died that day 9/11/2001.

Road Trip

 

This is a journal of our road trip.

Thursday day 1 of our road trip started out getting up early to get thing loaded. Well not so fast we  both of us were having a bad time with our allergies and having a hard time getting started and moving a little slow,the rag weed is off the chart here. Suck it up and move on.

On the road around 10am for the 100 mile destination and after a few stop and miss gps getting confused and a detour on hwy 24 we made it around 12pm.

This is one of the trails Miss I know it all in the box took us on (gps) to get to the camp ground.

                                      

With temps in the 100’s it was a very uncomfortable day.

Friday day 2 up early dogs woke me up to go out. Temps were not bad early in the morning took a bike ride around the camp ground to see what they had.

  

 

  

                                    

By noon we were looking at about 100 and just to hot to even sit outside  in the shade with no breeze at all. We all went inside and this is how we spent the after noon we me beating Angela at.

                                                          

I don’t think she would agree with that, but hey I write the blog!!

Even the dogs didn’t want to be outside.

Saturday day 3 up early again because the dogs wanting outside,they have a built in alarm clock set at 6 am. Need to find away to reset the alarm.

The camp ground filled up Friday after noon and evening,lots of dogs and kids. Drives our dogs crazy. We may leave here early and go home or find some place less crowed.

Rain started in the early evening and continued all night, It’s great to have a self contain motor home to cook and sleep in,felt sorry for the campers in their tents.

Sunday day 4 by now you know why I’m up at 6am yep you guessed it the hounds.

Woke to a wet and soggy morning, the one nice thing is a cold front came with it and is going to stay with us this week.

We decided that we were tired of the land scape here and it was time to move on. Thought we would head towards KC,needed to find a place to dump the tanks,so we headed to Watkins Mill State Park in hopes they might a open spot for the night. Pulled in around 2pm dumped tanks and looked for a open spot,found a real nice one vacant and moved in.

 

The temperature was nice and cool,we sat outside around a camp fire until late evening (10pm late for us) even Max and Annie enjoyed the fire.

 

 

Monday day 5 the 3 dog alarm went off a little late 6:45 need to get that fixed. Cool this morning turned on furnace to warm things up a little. We can’t make up our mind a/c or furnace that’s the thing about the Midwest if you don’t like the weather just wait a little bit and it will change.

Sitting here writing this and thinking and wishing I had not burned all the fire wood last night and could have had a fire this morning. Heard a loud crack and this fell out of the tree right next to the MH just missing it.

                                                         

Your not allowed to gather or cut fire wood in any state park. Think this one’s going to be gathered and burned.They will sell you wood for $4 a bundle,burned 2 last night.

Broke camp around 10am and headed home. On our travels we took all back roads that we could and loved going thru the small town here’s a few things we saw along the way.

 

Goober's gas station                                           Worlds largest pecan 12000 lbs

We had a good time and can’t wait to do it again.
