Devyn's return from soccer camp

Today we drove to Hope College in Holland, MI.  Randy took her there Sunday for a week of soccer camp.  She had a game at 3pm so we got to watch it, it was the championship gave in her class and they won 1-0.  She impressed me with a body check she threw on an opponent as they battled for ball control at the game's end, she said it was payback.  Good aggressive play.

Devyn had a short rest in the car then she drove the last half of the way home.  We stopped in Jackson at Klavons for a pizza supper and met Randy there.  The restaurant was packed at 7pm and we had no place to park so the went next door to Steaks Eatery.  We now plan to eat pizza at Klavons Saturday then see Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

New HitchHiker bearings

Wheels off, spindles removed and taken to have the new bearings pressed in.  While we were here two other couples arrived for service and we know one of them.  They had a HH 2 years ago at the Custer, SD rally but then wanted a larger unit which NuWa no longer makes, bought a Teton and had water leak problems and now have a New Horizon.  Small world.  Keith was finished with the bearings about noon so we headed back to Onsted.  We met Randy in Coldwater (he was returning from Three Rivers) and Judy went with him so he could take delivery of his new Chevy truck.  I returned to Onsted, dumped the tanks and set up our home by the time she returned with his car.

Back in Elkhart at MOR/ryde

We returned to Elkhart (120 miles) today to have our HitchHikers bearings replaced.   We were here last month but they didn't have the correct bearings.  Before returning they sent me a picture of the four Timkin Bearing boxes so I know they should have the correct ones this time.
We also broke another window shade so we took it to SWC in Goshin for repair.  On the way home we stopped at Jo Jo's Pretzels and were they good!

At least MOR/ryde has supplied some entertainment out our back window as they are doing lots of construction at their plant on Moyer Steert.  Business is good.  This is their second new building in two years and they now have six paved sites with 50a and 30a power.
We spent the morning addressing ride quality and took Keith, the service tech, and Ben, an engineer, for two trips with them riding inside the HH.  After checking and measuring the suspension system they decided we needed to drop the tire air pressure from 115 psi to 90 psi.  Not sure I will go that low but I'll experiment with it.  Because this took half the day the bearings will not be finished today so we get to spend the night in our HH inside their service bays.

Independence Day......BOOM.....BANG!

When sister BJ heard Dave & Jane were here she came up for a visit too.  I believe the last time we were all together was for Uncle Lyle's funeral.  Great mini family reunion!

Of course with the family here Randy had to get "The Flintstone" out and do some grilling.

Randy & Chris had to leave mid day for a fireworks run down to Ohio.  Here they are in action.

Chris loading some of the boomers.

I liked the pictures of the fireworks being launched.  The fellows put on a very good show for the 15 or 20 folks that were here.  The neighbors across the street were also firing off fireworks and we enjoyed the competition......Randy & Chris won.

                                                                           THE END.

Dave & Jane stop by for a great visit!

My cousin Dave and his wife Jane from Medicine Hat, Alberta stopped for a two day visit after visiting his mom, Aunt Dorthy in Ontario.  Maybe RVs run in the Bahnmiller family?

It has been a VERY long time since we have seen each other and we really enjoyed spending some time with them.  We introduced them to Pegs & Jokers and ended up playing many games.  I look forward to our next meeting, maybe this fall when we head west?

Enjoying Randy & Devyn

We haven't been up to too much this month.  Time is passing quickly.  Judy woke me up one morning to see Tom strutting his stuff to impress a lady friend in the front yard.  After the show they flew off to a secluded spot in the woods for the honeymoon.

Onsted HS academic awards!!

This week Onsted High School had it's awards ceremony.....at 8:05am.  Judy and I attended to see Devyn receive several awards for her academic achievements. We are very proud of her, she's not only a very good soccer player but an all A student.  It was interesting to watch her interaction with her friends.

We are proud of her soccer achievements but I believe her academic work is even better.  She is preparing herself for a wonderful future.
