Awake: 6:35am Temp 41 sleep 6+23 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
K & I join the Koffee Klub meeting for an hr this morning. The big topic was Father Job’s mother’s passing away on Saturday. There was some discussion as to who would be interested in driving to the Scranton area to show their respect & attend her funeral. Barry commits himself to bringing Theresa, Monica & Margie.
K & I are thinking: we have no real plans; maybe we should drive our tow car up to Scranton, PA (some 200 miles) & pay our respects. Meanwhile, I ask Barry for the exact address where the funeral will be held. He will call later & let me know.
Back @ our motorhome, Al visits & reminds me that tomorrow the Rotary is having an International meeting with (5) Rotarians visiting from Turkey. The more I talked with Al, the more interested I became in the Rotary meeting. Last yr, K & I attended a meeting in Ebensburg when the Germans visited & we both found it most interesting.
I call Barry & let him know of our change of plans. He was ok with that. So we committed ourselves to the Tuesday late afternoon Rotary meet in Ebensburg.
My young buddy Gary C. calls; we left several messages weeks ago & again on Sunday for these guys with no response; we thought they had left the country. Here they were touring some VIP’s, Gary’s sister & her husband, who chose to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary with G & R who in turn took them to see some of the local attractions.
At a thrift store in Miami, OK Kathy found a “Stir Crazy” popcorn popper that externally was in great shape but the internal thermostat was kaput. Our S.C. popper works well but the foundation body has a good sized hole & the plastic bubble cover is full of cracks + one handle is broken off. So, I used the (2) poppers to make (1) good one.
Next, with Kathy’s help, the canisters are cleaned, then the filters are installed & the well water is now feeding our motorhome.
I felt very ambitious so far today….but when tinkering around outside with my tools on another project, I suddenly began feeling useless. Time for a break I figured. That was @ 4:30pm. Inside the coach, I poured Kathy & myself a glass of wine; we toasted & both sat down to relax.
I didn’t finish the wine……my stomach ached big time; the couch was comfortable but my body was grumbling & I was groaning. It became obvious: I had caught that flu bug from the boys yesterday.
Holding a pan & sitting on the toilet was not nice but with my nurse’s help, we kept it clean. The whole ordeal completely wore me out. I spent the night on the couch. Kathy was feeling good & I was happy to have her help.
High temp=68 Lights out for me: 9:00am
