I like to run around and see places, but there is no place like home.

I'm in Florida this week with my other daughter, and I have all the grandchildren here. I much prefer the hills and mountains. Besides every tourist in the world is here it seems.

When we were driving through Arizona near Winslow I had my wife turn on some Eagles music. Of course we had to start it off with “Take It Easy”.
I got a feeling if we ever go to Florida we will be listening to some Jimmy Buffet.

My 14 year old grandaughter rode with me to the Rockies. She mostly listened to her crap on ear buds, but she did listen to some good music on Sirius with me. One song came on (I don't remember which one) and she said "That's not the original version.". I said "yes it is. look on the screen, it says 1964". She looked it up on her phone and showed me it was originally cut in 1961 by a group I have never head of.
And all this time I thought she wasn't paying attention.
She must be practicing to be a wife.

We listened to some good music on the beach, thanks to my kids digital whatchamacallit.

Man my bed felt good aunty Em.

My vacation at Carlisle was nice. First class accommodations in the White Suburban Suite with air enhanced bedding and 360 deg. full view windows. But it sure felt good to get back home.

Saturday evening four of us walked over to the Fairgrounds Diner for a proper dinner. Nice summer evening after the thunderstorm that rolled through that afternoon. About done eating someone asked "Who owns the red pickup? Your windows are down and it started raining". Shame about that guys windows, but we all looked at each other to say "Wish I had a window to roll up!" It rained pretty hard, we waited under an overhang, let up some, and we walked back in the wet. All was good. It wasn't miserable and I had dry clothes back at the suite. But I did leave my windows down :doh:. Good thing it was a straight down rain!

Nice way to reunite. I always take a decompression day after any trip. after Carlisle vending I may take a few.

Those storms were seriously localized. Like the one that afternoon that seemed to come out of nowhere, develop overhead, then sit and build, leaving the surrounding areas blue sky sunny. I think the evening one might have been volatile when it hit, while we were eating. Also the Suburban sits up against that circus tent. But I also had tarps just draped over tables and they stayed put. That's the second time in recent years I've left to eat, casually covering up my stuff, and having a storm pop up. Maybe one day I'll learn. Either that or I already know better but the IDGAF attitude kicks in when I'm there

[davischevy]

WE drove up to the swap meet at Springfield, MO this morning, and the clouds started building in the north. The rain hit before we got there, so we got out the ponchos (trash bags) and hit the meet. It sucked because most everything was under tarps. I bought a 71 Quadrajet so it wasn't a complete wash.

I got to socialize with guys I don't see often and had some good Mexican food so I'm happy.

My wife got her car back from the Chevy store after some warranty work so Mama'a happy too.

[davischevy]

I go up to visit my parents once in a while. My mother passed last February and my dad 7 years ago.

I take my bicycle with me and ride because there are about a mile and a half of paved lanes. and the Maple trees are on about a 50 foot grid and there is always a breeze on top of that hill.

As I ride I observe the headstones and think about the people and history they represent. My family on both sides has been here for 150 years so a lot of the names are familiar, even if I didn't know the person I have heard their story.

Some of them went through life without ruffling many feathers and others have reputations, good and bad. No matter how important they thought they were, they, their body at least, ended up in the same place.

I could go on about hundreds of them, but one stood out.

I never knew of him helping anybody but himself.

Guess who has the biggest stone in the cemetery?

I am in Rayne, La right now. Our daughter and roomy bought a house here. The girls had help loading the Penske truck and 3 of our trucks and we all caravanned down here yesterday and began unloading when we arrived. Man was it hot. No breeze. It got the best of me. I was down for the count. We found a hotel room at 10 pm. Every time she moves I tell her no more for this old man. But she’s my daughter and if/when she calls again I will of course help her. I’m just not as good helping as I once was. The wife and I will be back on the road in a few hours hopefully.

[davischevy]

I hope you made It home Boog. I know what you mean about the "get up and go" being gone.

The last time my daughter at Conway moved, I was more than happy to let them hire somebody.

I went out and helped the kids here today, and I'm dragging.

[Ol Blue K20]

You guys have "get up and go"? Mine has got up and went.......

[Boog]

Yes we got back about 9:30 last night. Storming when we left out and in and out of rain for a couple of hours then sunny once out of La. I do really appreciate the popo staying out of our way. We made much better time coming back than going. I tell you what. I don't think much of the leather seats in the Yukon for that length of time.
The rental truck was an International diesel and of course it has blue def for regen. All the fluids are supposed to be topped off when you pickup a truck but that one was low of the def. The girls didn't notice. Anyway I made sure to fill the diesel and put some def in it before turning it in. At the turn in she mentioned to them the def wasn't full when she picked it up and that we did fill it past where it was when she got it. They told her oh they don't check for DEF level on any of them anyway.. WTH?

I must have overlooked these posts till now. Starting with the swap meet. Ones like your experience may just be some of the best. It started snowing on my way to Spring Carlisle years ago and I kept on going. Going over the mountains I got to a state trooper blocking the way up. This is all fruit orchard country. I made a left and figured a right and a right would get me back on tract eventually. Snow got to a foot deep out there! More to the story, but made it to swap meet, same thing but a few inches of snow and melt water running everywhere. For those who went it was an adventure to remember. I made a good haul that day. Some of my best times have been when conditions were iffy, I went on ahead, and had a great time... more memorable.

Sweet "car". They have to be the nicest vehicles out today.

That sounds like a wonderful cemetery, or memorial park. A well thought out site chosen. And a perfect peaceful plus to peddle through. Funny how the whole "lineage" thing has meant more and more to me with each passing year. Funny how with age we get more "keen" on things in general. It's that older wiser thing I guess. Now what was that other thing I wanted to say? Oh well...
Hey! Keen and memory are two different things. I still have that thing I was thinking very vividly somewhere

Gawd do I hate moving. I moved my daughter quite a bit when she was single. I remember one April with perfect weather every weekend and I used them all getting her moved and set up. I love helping her, but all the enjoyable things I could have been doing, compared, was making it worse. They just moved to MI from MD and they had it all taken care of, didn't call on me at all. If it was anything else I'd be offended

I get up and sometimes I go. And when I really go all day I use up two days of it. I go a good bit for a good bit of most days. No problem, except I roll up the carpet when the sun goes down. By the time I get done eating the mental tired sets in and, "I'll call him tomorrow and fall asleep logging on my 'puter. Ever wake up scrolled to the bottom? Or period marks to infinity?
