Cool Monday Morning
Posted: Mon Jul 29, 2013 6:25 amA Good Monday Morning to you all,
Yep, cool and damp is the word here this morning. We are into kind of a "fall" weather pattern here. Kind of typical for this time of year. Always seem to have a couple weeks of cool and wet type weather and then it warms up again. Like a "harbinger" of the season that is coming in a few more weeks. Then it's bye bye summer
Not much happening around here right now. I'm all wore out reading about the comings and goings and doings of a lot of you in yesterday's Morning Coffee. Busy bunch we are right now. Spent some time yesterday at Wal Mart, Lowes and Home Depot looking over storage ideas for my TT's cupboards. Need to add a shelf to a couple of them. So today, will go get the materials and start cleaning and organizing etc. so I can put stuff in. Right now I have stuff all over my workbench in garage and in my breezeway
Spotted about 3 campsites open at my favorite state park for the upcoming weekend and if I can get things ready, might just reserve one and head up there. Am meeting Louise (havingfunnow) in Mackinaw City on Saturday and that would be closer. We shall see. Also noted in Show Off Your Rigs section, that a number of us have bought new or new to use rigs over these past few weeks. And a few getting repairs made as well. Guess we are keeping the economy moving anyway. At least my check book says I am
Catherine, I'm so sorry to hear about your Sierra. Watching them go downhill from that kidney disease is no fun, but at least we know they are in a better place up at the Rainbow Bridge. Perhaps she is playing with my Tessa for all we know. At least you, like me, have another 4 legged companion with us, so it helps to ease the loss a bit. (((HUGS))) to you.
Donna, Maggie is probably nervous and a bit bewildered as to what is going on right now. She is watching you hauling all those boxes down from your upstairs area, cleaning and getting ride of stuff and she knows that something is up. So she is going to tend to wake you or stay by you, to make sure your don't "disappear" on her too. A bit of doggie insecurity so to speak. Her normal home life is being turned upside down.
Red, hope you can get out of Camp Red Bay and home to see your daughter pretty soon. Louise, you are hoping for cooler weather this weekend while you camp. I think you will have it. Nights are into the 50's, so bring some warm blankets and maybe a portable heater just to be on the safe side. Karen and Sharon are having so much fun on their travels. Hope they get into MI someday. Soos' Ruckus is only a week away and more people are jumping on the bandwagon.
As for me, I am going to jump into my outdoor clothes and get moving to town. Want to get back here so I can start in on the TT. Wishing you all a wonderful day today, enjoy your sightseeing and travels if you are on the road. The rest of us can only dream.

in other words, whatever I decide to do. The
I was the DD so I pretty much just tasted her drinks. One of them was really yummy...a thai something or other, but it sure was good. Lemon grass vodka or something. I tried a cucumber vodka, it was pretty smooth, but I only took a few sips of it. The appetizers served were really good, too. If you're ever in Charleston, this was a fun and informative tour. 30 bucks and includes appetizers at 4 pubs. The down side was we came back to my car and I had a flat. Darn! And of course I hadn't brought my wallet with my AAA or coach-net cards. Karen called on her AAA and they said an hour. Another Darn! I got the book out so I could find out how to get the spare down from under the jeep and of course the back was loaded with kayak and tow stuff. Darn!! Unloaded car, found jack and accesories, got tire down and out and Karen says, "I bet we can change this ourselves". Yeah, probably. So I loosened lug nuts, looked in book to see where jack goes for a rear tire and started jacking. A guy that looked older than us and in way worse shape asked if we needed help.
