Chappy's Place

We found a local campground for Chappy!  We are excited about having a place for him to sit during the summer months that we can go when we aren't on the road with him.  The campground caters mostly to families with young children as it has a small lake where there are slides and inflatables, batting cages, a goat petting zoo, and things of that nature, our kids even went there years ago for a homeschool event, but it also checks off all the items on my list.


  1. It's only 15 minutes from the house!  I wasn't really expecting to find somewhere that close.
  2. They like puppies.  (They say only two in the rules but said they would make an exception because Sara is so old she will rarely leave the camper.)
  3. It's a corner lot.  A bit larger than the other lots they had available, and easier to get in and out.  It's not a pull through but if you are going to back in regularly it's close to perfect.
  4. The cell service (Without the WeBoost) is strong enough for me to work from there.
  5. The campground section is on the opposite side of the lake from all of the activity stuff so it shouldn't be much of a problem and since we have a corner lot, we have a bit more space.
The season opens on May 1st, so when Chappy gets back from the spa (Dealership) we'll take him out there and get set up.  

Who know's, if we like this place a lot it may become our summer home if we sell the Ohio house.

I'll post some updates and pictures when we get out there.  It should be fun!

There and back again....

We had a great two weeks in Michigan.  It was nice to visit family and friends although extremely hectic since I only took 1 day off during the time.  It seems we were constantly busy, going places to visit people, having people stop by, or driving.  Still it was a good time. Plans from here?  Well, we've decided to cancel our annual Gettysburg trip again.  This time it seems that there is just too much to do in preparation to leave again for AZ, so we've decided to stick around.  The Covid would limit what we can safely do too much for us to go this year. We will however, still be making our trip back to Michigan in October, immediately followed by our return trip to AZ!  More to come as we get closer.

Sunset behind us lights up the tops of the trees Puppy Tax.  No it's not ours.  My Buddy Shannon and his family just got this cutie.  She's adorable.

Missing Chappy

It's not even been two entire weeks and I miss Chappy.  Since we took him out to the summer campground I've been really wanting to go out there and this long holiday weekend is the perfect time. The site that we were put at is very nice.  It has a deck that was made by the last residents and it works perfectly for us.  We'll be heading out there after I get done with work and I can't wait to sit on the deck and enjoy the fire pit tonight with a cold beer and maybe my pipe.

Long time no update - So I'll make it a long post!

 Sorry for the long delay in updating here.  There has been a lot going on and we are gearing up for even more activity over the next month. So what has been happening?  Well, the fun never stops that is for sure.  Work activities aside we have been doing a decent amount of work around the house, but you'd never know by looking at it.  A few weeks back we had a tree fall on the house.  Luckily, there was no Major damage, just some gutters that still need to be put back up and a couple of scratches, and dents.  The only real damage luckily was to my awesome Weber grill.  Poor guy had a wheel bent over that now needs replaced, but with the weight of a large tree on him it is impressive that he just has a tiny dent otherwise and works like brand new.  I'm no product spokesman for Weber, but they make an excellent, tough grill that lasts.  Can't say that about my last Sams Club grill that rusted out completely in 3 years despite only moderat...
