Happy Birthday Judy!!!!!

Today is a big day for Judy. She went to Curves in the morning then had a manicure & pedicure, with a spider and a web on each thumb. We had a nice BBQ lunch at the Rib Crib did some grocery shopping and in the evening we went to see "Dracula, the Musical Farce" put on by a local players group in a small (54 seat) theater. We had front row seats and were just about on the stage. We really enjoyed it & Boris stole the play.

Of course we had a birthday cake.

Coleman Therater & Motorcycle Museum; Miami, OK

Today we drove to Miami (pronounced Miami-ah) Oklahoma and spent over an hour touring the Coleman Theater. It opened in 1929 and was built by a well digger who discovered lead & zinc, bought the land & mineral rights and was making $1M a month. He married a gal 30 years younger & she tired of taking the train to New York City to see a play or famous performers so hubby built her a theater & brought the shows to her. The guide had lots of interesting stories.

We then checked out a bike museum that had several beautifully restored British bikes, a stock 1917 Harley & the dirt bike hanging from the ceiling was Steve McQueen's favorite. Good little museum.

My complaining about the weather in yesterday's blog brought out the sun for a few hours today.

Grove, Oklahoma, global warming, BS, where's the sun?

Monday we had NuWa perform some minor & some routine service on our trailer; then Tuesday we took it to Young's Welding (where the frame is manufactured & the suspension added) for routine suspension service. All went well. We took the NuWa plant tour both days because it was conducted by different salesmen so we got 2 viewpoints. Judy was happy because she had pecan waffles at the Grain Bin both mornings before the tours, here favorite breakfast. The weather has been wet and chilly. We hooked up Monday morning at 6:30am in the rain and dark so we could be at the plant at 7am. Fun. Tuesday we didn't have to be at Young's until 8am.

We left Chanute Tuesday at 12:30 and arrived in Grove, OK about 3:15. Another short trip but in the rain. It's been wet, chilly & solid overcast over a week in 4 different states. Bullshit on global warming.

This is our third time at Bears Den CG in Grove, it's a free membership CG conveniently located to Chanute. We are getting to know this area pretty well. Yesterday Judy went to Curves and we holed up inside all day. Today, she did Curves then we went out to lunch, the Grand Lake Casino & Chepo Depo. We picked up a couple decks of cards (and lost $10 on the slots, big spenders) then went to a favorite store....Chepo Depo. Too bad Chepo Depo hasn't made it big time like Wal-Mart. If you went inside you'd know why.

If anyone has seen the sun, please let us know where so we can head that way.
