Singing in the rain.

This has been the rainiest it's been here in Ohio since we arrived from New Jersey in 2007.  The ground is soaked, many roads are closed, and people all over have complained about flooded basements and worse!  Aside from a very muddy yard, we've been pretty fortunate to avoid all of the problems with the water, but I feel for those who haven't.

TW even got a bit of water in his kitchen at his new place.  I don't think this will be a normal occurrence for him so after it dries up a bit around here he should be fine.  In the meantime our Grand Kitten is visiting for a few days while he opens the windows and doors and blows the water out (I'll have to take some pictures while she's here).

I hate to think about what the Mosquitoes are going to be like when all that water finally stagnates and they start hatching. *Shudder*.  I may have to invest in some plate armour and ankle weights.

We will probably spend part of the weekend out at the campground this weekend.  It may be a good time to finally give Chappie a scrub down after the South Dakota trip since we may actually see the sun for a few minutes on Saturday.  It would be nice to sit outside, relax and smoke my pipe for a while.

Peace Pipe

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.

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...
