Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – May 2021

Again.

No trips due to lock down.

everybody!

For gas.

Fix it

nothing

Missed a few.

Beautiful weather day yesterday so the missus and I and our kids went to the South River Winery in Geneva, Ohio. Got home, picked up our dog and went to our daughter's home and sat around a fire pit and watched the dogs play. Nice day.

Our 1st outing. We went to the River Oaks Car Show. This is a city near Fort Worth. I was raised there. It was so nice to be out after 14 months of not going anywhere. It was the 1st time to go without a mask. A little bit intimidating but we kept our distance and it wasn't crowded and it was outside. We only stopped to look at cars where no one was standing or setting near the car.
My husband was able to walk the entire show (a small car show). What an improvement. The Clinical Trial for his cancer is working. He still has cancer but not as much and maybe more will be destroyed over the next few months as the Nuclear Meds keep working for a while. He still has to get his cancer treatments but they are injections and make him feel better.
Just a great day out. Hopefully everyone is having a great week.

So glad to hear you had an pleasant outing Mary and about your husband's good news with the clinical trial. Do you still have your beautiful '55 Chevy?

I hope

Now that dinning is allowed indoors

Still no road trips due to covid restrctions.

Finally took a ride out of state. Nice for a change especially since the weather is starting to warm up here.

Checking unit to keep it active.

Thanks.
We still have the 55 Chevy. My husband started working on it in 2008 and finished it 2012. It has only been to the gas station twice. It has only been driven in our drive way, he circles around the tree in the middle of the dirve, except for the two gas trips. He tries to start it ever two week to keep it ok and keeps a trickle charger on it. He put a large block engine in it. It gets hot. He has tried everything, large radiator and stuff but still hot. Our son said larger engines like that will get warmer than what he is used to. He was thinking about putting a small block engine in it then he got sick so it has been put on hold.
Hopefully someday he will feel like working on it again. If not, we will just have to have someone else to install it. The hard part of that is finding someone who we know will do a good job.

a trip to drop off a walmart.com return at FedEx, carwash, warehouse club, Media PA, and that's it. Life looked normal with traffic, number of people, etc.

Only thing on the docket this week so far is blood donation.

Went for a ride around the space center.

Day 12 of a 5 week camping trip. Using the trusty nüvi 760 to navigate and to listen to books. (Sound through the truck stereo, of course.) Using the 76Cs to do a bit of geocaching.

nothing

and back.

local trips as we're getting ready for a long trip in June. Will be a combination of camping and a motorcycle road trip with longtime riding friends!

Still tilting.

Prepping for another 1100 mile ride

Trip to Western,ON.

Getting stir crazy.Went for a nice drive yesterday. Ran into rain which we need but no longer rainy out.

like I've got a trip to the UPS store planned for this PM...woohoo!

Drove to the doctor for a follow up visit after cataract surgery on my right eye. My vision in that eye is significantly improved. Surgery on left eye is scheduled for next week. Garmin must have updated the graphics on my GPS because the screen is a heck of a lot sharper now than it used to be!

To the kid's college campus for a formal graduation photo op following her "virtual" commencement.

They called it "crossing the quad." I had to look it up when she told me about it.

4 hours each way. Was an amazing day in the park. Did a 19 mile hike and thoroughly soaked in so much about this special place.

nice day for a drive in the woods and get out of the house

And home.

To the car wash. But they closed early.

CT

Washington, DC to Elkins, WV.

nothing

I was expecting the plane to be empty, lots of room to spread out etc, not at all. Plane was relatively full.

Local State State Park to go Geocaching with son an the other boy scouts.

Went on a District Unity Ride.

Sigh...

Still no trips due to lockdown situation in Ontario.

Taking a weekend trip across Texas

finally off of on-call, just in time for the long weekend.

Nothing like getting called on a Friday afternoon....stretching into the weekend. Like anything else I suppose we just accept it.

I have no trips this week.

Peachtree Corners, Norcross, new Braves stadium area.

quick trip to put the docks in at the cottage - cold times.
