Keeping The Windmill Alive – May, 2022

After reading the Harry Potter Series, True Grit and James Herriot's All things Great and Small, I find the movie and TV series and movies to be okay but not up to the books.
(Okay, the original True Grit(1969) was close!)

Looking forward to another week on the road.

Black Mountain, Montreat, and Asheville.

Had a surprise severe thunderstorm last night here in north central Texas. We've been very dry since last fall, so getting 1 inch of rain was awesome.

10hrs of u8 baseball

More baseball

Nowhere

Last week of school!!

Enjoying the days away from home. No yard work

Drove for a family celebration of a graduation. Beautiful drive.

Good to go

Think I'll spend a little more time at home for a while.

..Charles Kuralt from CBS back in the 1970’s. Interesting read. He went around the US talking to people from all walks of life. From a county in Texas that had the smallest population of any county in the country to the man that had created the world’s largest ball of twine to a town that had only one parking meter. (It wasn’t because they needed one, it’s because they wanted one.) It was a slower pace of life back then. Wish it was that way today.

My daughter in law was filling her suv and at $125 the pump stopped. There is a limit on how much you can spend. I don't know if it is only that station or Dallas or all stations.

That's the limit that the credit card clearing house has set for that vendor. I used to run into that on my motor home all the time when filling at the car pumps.

A well-known Columbus, GA landmark could be moo-ving to a new location.

Kadie the Cow, formerly the trademark of the now-closed Kinnett's Dairy, currently sits on a hill overlooking Manchester Expressway near the northern entrance to the city.

Uptown (downtown) Columbus is hoping to moo-ve the 20-foot art piece to Uptown. They would like to place it near a splash pad area on Bay Avenue.

The city has raised questions about the moo-ve since Uptown Columbus already has several art installations while the northern area of the city does not.

When I know more, you will know more.

That is good to know, thanks

Woke up today and it seems the storm missed us. Go out to do stuff today.

Riding to all locations that may carry baby formula for my granddaughter so far 3 cans of instant from 6 locations.

Combining a couple of trips.

Familiar with point A and back. Familiar with point B and back.

Wasn't sure about the best way to get from point A to point B.

Nice at the beginning of the week. Very hot (90's) this coming weekend.

Is it just my imagination, or has the cost of a hotel room gone up drastically recently?

windmill alive

Got the lawn mowed today because the temperature will be in the 90's this weekend (up from the 70s).
Mark

for another week.

happy Monday

Not always what we want ....but always going in the right direction!

Weather all over the place.

Washington, DC to Boston, MA.

nice day today!

a bbq in north NJ...then got new tires on Sunday. The reason it's noteworthy is it tends to be a once in 5 years or longer, event!

didn't want to start a new thread, at the bbq, our relatives had a brand new Weber grill, really beautiful, I think it's a 445 or something.

The thing leaked and they lost all the propane. In inspecting it, it's the hose to the tank. Tightened as much as it can go, it leaked.

Because I never thought of this before, and never had a leak, truly not sure why by looking at it. The tank side had an o-ring, not sure if the hose collar is missing something...

Very disappointing as that's a super sweet grill that I'll never own. The same relatives gave me their Char Broil for free and it works great!

Can't go anywhere till the dog goes home.

Just returned from a 12 day Alaska cruise. First cruise for us since COVID hit and the industry shut down. It was great. The first few days were cold and a bit rainy and the upper decks weren't very nice to visit. However, when we got to Glacier Bay, the day was gorgeous and the weather stayed that way for the next couple of days as we visited Yakutat Bay and Endicott Arm. It was a wonderful trip. We have Canadian friends we've cruised with a couple of times before and they were on this cruise as well. Really great people. A wonderful trip but, as always, it's good to be home.

It was so boring! Sometimes, those things just don't work out as planned.

Yep, boring here as well.

Not as hot past weekend as projected. Cooler now.

Somebody said something significant. Now if I could just remember what it was.

at 6:00 none of the dreaded traffic. Made it with no slowdowns.

Round trip Murrells Inlet, SC to northern VA and DC. Friday departure went smoothly until Fredericksburg VA then 10 MPH until Occaquan. The Garmin came in handy as we went to a wedding in downtown DC which I hadn't visited in nearly 10 years. Trip back on Monday was very smooth with only a single 5 minute delay. Done traveling for awhile except for local trips.

US 301 is the best alternate to I95, despite the number of Red Lights.

To an offsite training.

Through a hostile part of town.

Going to Austria in August
