Summer camp out 2024

Made possible by the Taco!

It was different loading this up as opposed to the truck… but removing the third row + folding up another chair made for a ton of cabin space. I brought practically the exact same load as normal.

Perry Lake wasn't fishing friendly but we still had fun. The kids biked a long trail. And we grilled burgers, stargazed and played Monopoly. Evey won. 

Great trip! 

Mexican Fiesta volunteers

On Saturday Adrianne, Boyd and Judy volunteered at the Mexican Fiesta... their job was to serve sodas to the people. Boyd reports that it wasn't a whole lot of fun reaching into the tubs of ice over and over to fetch the different flavors... but they got the job done.

I showed up in time to eat food and chitchat with Father John. That was my contribution to a successful Mexican Fiesta!

Introducing THE TACO!

 It's been a busy summer... I've been on the road for three straight weeks... seriously:

* One week in South Padre for family vacation

* The next week in central PA and then Cleveland for work

* The next week in North Carolina for the U.S. Open and client meetings

So! I've not been posting much at all... apologies. I'm back now and happy to be in Kansas with the family.

Big news! I got new wheels. Diana called maybe two months ago and told us that she thought Alan would like it if we had his Tahoe. I've been in that car many times over the years and I was SHOCKED to learn this... and grateful, because the truck is getting up there...

Coincidentally, the truck died about two weeks later. It needs some major work and it isn't logical to put that kind of money into the 1999 Ram.

So anyway, these are my new wheels. I call it the Taco, because it's close to Tahoe and in honor of the taco I lost somewhere in the truck in 2017. Again, grateful to inherit this from my father-in-law... what a gift! It's a 2011... has a third row... and a working speedometer, volume nob and CD player (all things the truck lacked!)
