Rantoul, IL.
66 deg. clear, NE wind @ 3 mph.
Forecast = Sunny. Highs in the upper 80s. Light east winds.
It's been slow around here the last few days. Monday afternoon, Jim took CLT (Cute Little Truck) and went to the post office to pick up mail and mail those 2 birthday cards. From there he headed, first to a farmers stand to buy some sweet corn, and then to Walgreen's where he picked up his prescription.
In the evening, Jim and Linda again took CLT and headed over to Fisher, IL, and to the Village Garden Restaurant for dinner. As usual, the food was very good and well prepared.
Yesterday, was another real quiet day. Jim did cook a steak out on the grill for dinner, (that he and Linda shared), and Linda cooked sweet corn inside of me and popped some bread sticks into my oven.
I don't know how it tasted, but it sure smelled good!! ; )
Today, Jim and Linda will take CLT and head up North to see their financial advisor. Every year, they meet with him and go thorough all their investments and decide if they want to make any changes. They'll be gone most of the day as it's about a 2 hour drive up there, they'll spend at least and hour with him, they'll need to stop and get lunch someplace, and then there will be the 2 hour drive back down here.
A Point to Ponder : Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.

Not Much To Report
Rantoul, IL.
65 deg. clear, no wind.
Forecast = Partly sunny with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 80s. South winds 5 to 10 mph.
Not much to report on today. Jim's been keeping busy working on getting tie down straps set up for my main awning, getting his bike out of the back of CLT and getting it ready to ride, (it has a flat tire that won't hold air, so he going to have to repair it), talking to the neighbors, and just doing "stuff".
Linda's been working on the computer, (catching up on financial projects), and doing laundry.
Oh, and they've both been watching the Olympic Games on TV from time to time.
For dinner, Jim cooked a steak on the grill, Linda cooked some Kohlrabi on my stove and made some garlic bread.
It sure all smelled good and both of them said it all tasted really good too. ; )
Don't know what's happening today. They may take CLT and head down to Champaign to do a little shopping.
Oh, and I'll bet that they'll be watching some more of the Olympics on TV also. : )
Did you know that 12-year-old Inge Sorensen from Denmark won a bronze medal in the 200-meter breaststroke in 1936, making her the youngest medalist ever in an individual event?

Take A Moment, Getting Ready and Dinner At Jeff And Heather's
Portland, OR.
54 deg. overcast, no wind.
Forecast = Overcast with a chance of rain, then a chance of rain in the afternoon. High of 63F. Winds from the SSW at 5 to 10 mph shifting to the WNW in the afternoon. Chance of rain 20%.
Please take a moment this Memorial Day to remember all the men and women who died while serving in the armed forces of our country, so that we may remain free.
Not a lot happened again during the day here at the park yesterday. Jim watched most of the Indy 500 race and some of the NASCAR race. He also checked my fluid levels and tires. When checking CLT's tires, he found a couple a little low, so he got out his compressor and filled them up to the proper pressure,
Then, a little before 5:00 he and Linda took CLT and headed over to Jeff and Heather's for dinner.
This is the grill that Jim helped Jeff assemble the other night. As you can see, the coals are just about ready to grill some salmon and some asparagus.
Below is a photo of Heather and her father and mother, Terry and Gail Burns. They're helping Heather determine if the salmon is ready yet.
Linda took a potato casserole and a fruit salad to contribute to the meal, and that along with the salmon, asparagus, bakery bread, salad, and fresh strawberries for desert made for an excellent meal. : )
Like I said the other day, Jim and Linda hadn't seen Terry and Gail for a long time, so after dinner everyone visited until almost 9:00.
So, another great day with family and friends. And a very good meal to top it off!!! : )
Today Jeff is planning on coming out here to the park this afternoon, and then when Heather gets done working, she'll come out here too. (Probably about 4:00 or 5:00.) Then, they're planning on going out to eat somewhere, possibly the restaurant over at the Jubitz Truck Stop.
Then, later this evening, it will be time to say good-bye as we're leaving here tomorrow morning.
I'm not looking forward to that part of today. : (
Did you know that on Memorial Day the flag is raised briskly to the top of the staff and then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position, where it remains only until noon? It is then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day.
The half-staff position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave their lives in service of their country. At noon their memory is raised by the living, who resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead and continue the fight for liberty and justice for all. (Wikipedia)

Getting Ready and A Phone Call
Garibaldi, OR.
44 deg. clear, no wind.
Forecast = Partly cloudy. Fog early. High of 57F. Winds from the NNW at 5 to 15 mph.
Not a whole lot happening around here yesterday. Jim and Linda have been doing some cleaning inside of me so I look presentable when I meet Jeff and Heather. During the middle part of the day, Jim watched the NASCAR race on TV, went up to the Registration Booth and payed for another night so we can stay here until Tuesday, took a little nap, and then cooked a couple of burgers out on his grill.
Oh, and Jeff called to find out where we were and when we would be getting to Portland. Come to find out, he and Heather are going to be busy Tuesday, (when we get there), so we probably won't see them until Wednesday.
That's OK though. That way we won't have to hurry to get over there on Tuesday and it'll give Jim and Linda a chance to get me set up and settled in.
Most of the RVs that came to this CG for the weekend have left. A few have stayed, but most have gone back to their homes. My guess is that until Memorial Day, this CG won't be too busy during the week.
Did you know that the Big Mac hamburger was introduced in 1968? The price was 49 cents.
