Week of 18 July

The week started with a Church Service provided by the Avion Travelcade Club chaplin assisted by several members.  Our collection will be donated to the Idaho Food Pantry which mostly goes to help children and the aged.  Later we had a gathering of the Full-Timers where we visited and exchanged several ideas.  One item that we discussed was locating good RV service facilities. 

 

I offered to assist in this project and have added a post to this page named RV SERVICE SHOPS.  At this time not much there, but with your help I hope this will become a valuable resource.

 

We have nothing scheduled till the evening program and Joker tournament, so are spending the afternoon on personal projects.

 

Week of 11 July

July 11 Boise, ID

We are in town for the Avion Travelcade Club Rendezvous.

Today after taking a walk, the rigs already on the grounds moved to the campground area. After getting parked and set up, I got to work on locating sites for the radio Talk-in as I am in charge of that. Then after getting part of the crew organized, I went out to man a site myself. But most everyone had arrived in the morning (only workers could come in today), so there was no activity and we called it off early. The rest of the day was spent visiting and relaxing. It got into the 80’s but humidity was low and there was a breeze most of the day. In fact we didn’t feel the need to run the air conditioner.

Week of 4 July

July 4

Loretta went to Guymon, OK with the women, I did a few chores that needed done around the trailer. Then Larry came by and asked if I wanted to go with them to measure some fields and move some machinery. Then after lunch we went for some seed Sorghum as Troy was planting and running low. When we got back, we relaxed until evening when we rode with Larry, Mary a daughter and 2 grandchildren to their tire dealer in Elkhart. He was putting on a pot-luck 4th of July picnic followed by fireworks. There were many other fireworks displays going on all around us so it was a very colorful evening. A threatening storm passed very close but we only got some wind and a little rain. But Mother Nature put on an excellent fireworks display to add to the others. As they were nearing the end, something came down and hit me on the arm. Didn't see anything or get any burn, but did get a small cut and felt as if I had been hit with a hammer. Very sore for a while, but no serious injury. We came home to find that some limbs were down around here and there had been a power outage, but not a lot of rain. We hope everyone had a Happy 4th.
