John B. joined us @ the KK meeting this morning. He is so happy to be out & away from the hospital. His physical therapy following his knee replacement is scheduled to begin on Mon.

Gary & Rosemary just returned from a (12) day trip to Italy & Germany. They participated in a special Mass at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome; saw the Shroud of Turin in Turin; checked on the status of the Leaning Tower of Pisa; & toured Florence, Italy among other site seeing ventures.

The main focus of their trip was to attend the "Passion Play" in Oberammergau, Germany which it is only performed once every 10 years.

Back @ our coach, Gary & Rosemary stopped for a brief visit. Gary wanted to pick up his generator but when we started the engine, it ran its best with the choke closed. Hmm, after I cleaned the carburetor on Thursday & for all the other starts I made...the engine ran normal. Plus, I got no electrical power from the generator! Furthermore, Gary wanted to borrow my 1.5 inch socket ....& the largest I have is a 1 & 1/4th inch. I had to disappoint Gary; but he agreed to let me have some more fun by continuing the troubleshooting on the Coleman Powermate.

Early afternoon, Kathy motored to the big city of Ebensburg & visited their library (closed on Sat.), West End Market for groceries, Tibbot's to get some copies made, Wal-Mart & Goodwill. That took a mere (3.5) hrs.

Meanwhile, @ our KK meeting today, young Sammy brought his Caterpillar Truck for me to troubleshoot. He told me the bed of the truck does not tilt & the truck won't go forward or backward. I let him know that this project might take awhile so he'd have to be patient.

Today, before Kathy returned from her shopping, I started my troubleshooting on Sammy's Caterpillar Truck. DSC09430.JPG Dinner: Split pea/ ham soup with bread & leftover Italian sausage stoop + orange cuties.

The Foote Family is now in Confluence, PA. They went (32) miles this day, skipping the campground at Ohiopyle. Total mileage since leaving McKeesport: 68 miles

Evening movie:"Light in the Piazza." We watched ½.

Lights out: 1:34pm.
