Urbana ,Ohio

We made to urbana about 1:00 this afternoon. Had rain all the way. The jacks on the front are not working again. Called the dealer and will have to take it in when we get a chance. If we get it cleaned out this week may try and take it down this week yet. If not we will have to wait a few weeks till Thelma can get along by herself while I take it down. We have hospitality tonight at 8:00. Tomorrow will be a busy day. Went to the airport cafe tonight. Seemed they were slow. They were quite busy so maybe that is why. hope this weather clears up. This is not good camping weather. That's about it from here tonight. Tomorrow is another day. Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Leaving tomorrow

We will be on the road in the morning. Heading to Urbana Ohio. We spent 14 years there when I worked for IH. This is a Halloween campout that Ohio FCRV puts on. We have gone to this for the last few years. Always enjoy it. They are so friendly to us. We have gotten to know a lot of the people real well. It is rainy here in the fort. Hope it quits before morning. Hate to hook up in the rain. I think I only had to do once this whole summer.

Thelma's surgery is scheduled for the 19 of Oct at 1:00. We need to be there at 11:00. It might be a long day.

Went out with friends Jack and Barb tonight. Went to Bandidos. $5.00 pitcher of margaritas. Each couple had one pitcher. Feel real good now. They are really good. That's about it for tonight Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Good to go

Thelma had her pre op check today. She is good to go. Only took about an hour. They did not take her up to the therapy room as they said she had been there once . We went to the Legion out north tonight and met Jack and Barb. All three children were there. I used to call them kids but they are all grown up now. Tracey is a year older than Gary Chris is a couple of years younger and Rex is about 4 or 5 years younger. Chris is in the army in Germany. A lt
Col. He will have 20 yrs in in Jan. Will stay in as long as they want him or till they move him where he doesn't want to go. Thats about it for now. Will update later this week from bueatiful Urbana , ohio
I see I had Annie comment on my blog. Yes I miss that dog. She is a sweetie just like her mom. She's kinda sloppy kisser though.

Home for a few days

We got home about1:30 this afternoon. They put a new gear box on the jacks. Not sure they are working quite right. Will see this next weekend. sWent out with Gary Lisa and Kristin for Thelma's birthday. Had cake at Garys. We will sleep in a little later in the morning but then we have to get busy. I need to take propane tanks and get one of them refilled. We used a lot of gas last week as it was cool and not enough electric to run heaters. Thelma has here pre op test tomorrow afternoon at 1 Wed I have haircut it will be busy this week. We left the trailer hooked up when we were at Tipton. At brown county I used a hydralic jack to get the trailer unhooked and then on Sun morning used it again to get hooked up. This will be our last weeked of camping. Thats about it for now. Hi annonyamous

We did not get an award this year. We have only been back in FCRV for 7 years as of last year I think. We received the Hall of Fame award two years ago. this is the states highest award. We have also been appointed In Retiree Directors. The couple that had the job deceided to give it up. We are good friends with them. They talked us into the job. We thought we would never take another job but deceided to take this one. We had a lot of people congradulate us on Sun when they announced it. Also said they would help us at any time so that makes us very happy.

Stay tuned for our next adventure Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Tipton, In

We made it here about 3:15. Got set up and Sherryl came and picked us up and we then went to Logons road house for steaks. We then went back to Violets and Thelma Sherryl and Violet went to the grocery. I took Annie for a walk and then waited for them to get back. We came back to the trailer about 8:15. Will get up early in the morning and head for the trailer dealer. Thats about it from here. Will post tomorrow on what we find out about the jacks. Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Leaving tomorrow

Well the rally is almost over. Tomorrow we have church and then a board meeting. I am going to get up early enough that I can get the trailer hooked up before church. Yes this is only a 2 day rally. It is for people that are not retired. A lot of the retirees stayed over. Think only one left and they had some buisiness to take care of. We will go to tipton and then leave there on Mon morning to get the trailer jacks fixed I hope. They gave out awards tonight for people that have 5 10 15 20 or more years in FCRV. They then had a band that played bluegrass. We stayed for about an hour and then left. That's about it from here. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Invitational Rally

We started our Brown County invitaional today. This is when all the other people come in that are not retired. We have a pretty good group here. Had hospitality tonight and then played euchre. Just got back. Did n't do all that well but had fun. Tomorrow there is not much going on. Some games in the afternoon. and evening program. Think we will go out for Mexican food. Thats about it. Oh some guy backed into my truck with his motorhome. Hit the truck with a bicycle carrier. Just scratched the piece above the bumper. A couple of people saw him. His wife was watching and didn't get him stopped in time. I wonder if nobody had seen it if he would have owned up to it. I had to ask him if he hit it. Then he said yea i guess I did. He almost acted like it was my fault. We don't have to high opinion of him. Will call the insurence co next week. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli
