How was your weekend?
« Reply #15 on: June 01, 2004, 08:47:59 PM »
SAT - Did some family time and stuff that needed doing around the house.
That night a Tornado or some very high straight line winds hit NW of us and knocked out all the power lines. Spent most of my Saturday night at the Fire House listening to radio reports and waiting to set the storm sirens off should they come toward our town.
Finally about 2am storm moves out of our area so I go home and to bed.

SUN - Sunday morning all power is cutt off so they can repair the grid. No TV or AC till 9pm Sunday night. Missed all the Races and other Memorial Day stuff.  :(
Went to church in the morning and at around 2pm the Fire Dept gets together for it's cookout. Extremely good even with the bigscreen out! Generators hooked up to cook FF and for the radio. Considering it wasn't all bad.


To the Soliders out in the field that couldn't be home with their loved ones.

Also to the Soliders that gave thier life for our Country without which none of this would be possible.

We're leaving the house now as we sold it and are preparing to go RV full time until we decide to stop.

Friday, packed
Saturday, packed
Sunday, packed some more
Monday took the Mrs. out and taught her to drive the truck / motorhome. We have a Volvo 660 semi tractor that I modified to a motorhome. It has an auto transmission but she never drove anything THIS FREAKING BIG before. It's not towing right now but the 5th wheel won't slow the truck down any. Had a great time then went back and packed some more.

Got to get a 4 bedrrom + den house w/ 3 car garage in a moving van to take to the kids in Texas. I am SO sick of packing!!!! The house closes on the 11th. :eek:
