Storm damage at the campground
That's the office under and behind that big treeOnly 1 month till we hit the road again. I have been busy trying to get some general camper upkeep done. I re chalked the roof in spots this week and retaped some edges. I need to wash and uv protect the roof sometime this week. Then wash the camper. I also lubed the slide tracks and put a silicone protectant on the rubber seals. There is a lot more upkeep to camper life than I anticipated.
Yesterday was mom's 87th birthday, so cindi and I went to lunch with her at Connell's. An old time supper club. Food was ok, but not all that great for its reputation.
The Asian beetles are making their appearance already, which makes me think it will be an early winter. Ughh for those left to deal with it in Wi.
We stopped and visited with old friends Jon and Debby Anderson last week. Hope to see them again before we leave.
Tom and his brothers did their golf outing the last weekend in aug and the sister in laws and I went walking in Irvine Park then out for ice cream. An awful storm blew up and we got a ton of damage in the park but fortunately not at our campsite. I had left the awnings out while we were gone but no damage. yea!
I went up to Gordon to gather with friends from the hospital for the day, then on the way back to Chippewa to say goodbye to an old friend from Minong. Hoppy Wetzel. He died suddenly after shoulder surgery from an aneurysm. The memorial at the fire hall was incredible. Hundreds and hundreds of friends and family came to honor him. Many many people were wearing bib overalls, hoppy's signature outfit. I saw many many old friends there that I had not seen since leaving minong.
