Happy Memorial Day

There were a lot of dusty images out there today.

Bunga and Umpa are in the skies - returning to Ct. by tomorrow afternoon.

Had two families over for Memorial Day - one from church and one from the Bus. It was windy and cool, so we didn't do much outside - we did play disc golf again at Lions Park though.

P.D.Q Bach

Took C. to a P.D.Q. Bach concert tonight at the Minneapolis Orchestra Hall. Either - Jerry Garcia never died, or my friend Joel is in Disguise. To that end I saw Joel over and over while we were there - young Joel, bald Joel, bearded Joel...

Well - tomorrow is the big day - She doubles the drinking age!

And Monday friends are coming over for a picnic. More news later...

RV Redux


So we took the Class C we looked at last night down to a dealer in Anoka - for an appraisal, it looked good, and was a good deal - So we're going to buy it. C. will use it to drive back to CT. after the guys return from Manypoint - and I'll fly out and return with them.

So now in addition to Cub Camp June 16-18th and the Guys Boy Scout trips - we need to shake this thing down.

Post-Birthday Updates

D. party was Friday night - a half-dozen friends came over to play Wii and eat Buffalo Wild Wings - He has his first girlfriend as well! S. had five guys over, they played Guitar Hero, and Wii - Then we went to BWW, for the trivia as well.

We went fishing two Sundays ago with a guy from church - had a good time but caught tiny crappies and sunfish. But S. caught a nice Bass, and we tasted it Monday night.

Been Camper shopping the last few weekends. Figuring on using my pension to settle up my Credit cards, and use some of it for a used inexpensive RV. There are more RV dealerships along my commute than anywhere I've ever seen. We've looked at Class A's since the few class C's we saw where out of our price range. But we were looking last weekend, and saw one, too expensive but perfect, and when I started in looking at carsoup.com and rvtrader.com - I found more, we went out to a farm in Otsego tonight - and will take it out to one of the dealerships tomorrow morning for a look-see.
