Picked up the doc.......

Doc Jody & Doc Heather in Kansas City for the Family Medicine chief resident seminar.

Judy & Greg in Kansas City with George Washington in Washington Square.

Today we went into Kansas City and picked up Jody and her friend Heather. They were in KS for a medical seminar for new chief residents. We then met Steve Billings (he's a slave driver, no mercy at all, we've had lunch twice with him in the last couple weeks but he's so mean he makes Suzy work all the time, she's probably starving!) and the 5 of us went out to Jack's Stack House for BBQ lunch, very good. We then dropped Heather off at the airport then Judy, the doc, and I returned to our place on Clinton Lake at the COE campground. NO rain today, all sun but only mid 60s.

MAN, am I glad we are not in a tent! We do need an ark.

Yesterday we took our HitchHiker in for some toilet service. That's important you know. The bowl wasn't holding water (we didn't want it to hold any of that other stuff) and NuWa replaced some parts they had received from Thetford. While it was in the shop we went to the Grain Bin with Jeff & Susan and another couple so Judy could have one of her favorites....pecan waffles. We returned to the city campground at 3:30 and set up camp and then went to see Star Trek in Chanute. Boy, that was a real good movie that all 4 of us enjoyed. This morning we packed up and left about 10am for Clinton Lake outside Lawrence, KS and a COE (Corp of Engineers) park. It was REALLY windy and fortunately we had a tail wind most of the way north. The last 15 miles we were into the wind or had a cross wind that was not fun. It was 84 when we arrived at noon and sunny. Now, 6pm & 66 degrees, it been raining VERY hard with lots of hail since 2:30. Two big time thunderstorms have passed over us and the rain was coming down in buckets....really. Hopefully it will stop soon and the sat TV will get a signal, I'm pleased the Sprint Internet card is working. When, IF, it stops raining I'll get a couple pictures of this place for you to view. It is a very nice COE park in the boonies.

Back to Chanute, KS....in the rain of course

We had a relaxing Saturday in Chicken Creek then on Sunday Jeff & I pulled his HitchHiker to Chanute as he has a service appointment and his truck is still in the Ford garage with a cracked head. We all stopped at a BBQ joint and Jeff treated us to a nice BBQ dinner....Judy loves BBQ. Judy & Susan followed in their rental car and then Judy and I made the 190 mile return trip. Monday we did the laundry, had dinner with Wes & Tonia to say goodbye and started packing up. Tuesday we made the trip back to Chanute with our HH in the pouring rain arriving about 2pm. After setting up we said HI to Jeff & Susan again then stopped at Subway for dinner.
On Wednesday we towed Jeff & Susan's HH to the HiLo furniture shop so they could remove their hide-a-bed from their sofa and replaced it with storage boxes. Another thunderstorm skirted us this evening and we'll be taking our HH in tomorrow to have a little work done on the toilet now that parts have arrived. Look our Jody.....you are next on our list!!!!
