Nothing much planned here, libby is at her moms going thru things with her sister, packing, piling, grabbing, fighting etc.  My plan is to grab a little friend and his family and take them up to copper harbor to Fort Wilkins for an enactment, the fort dates back to 1847 or around there and was used to protect the indian community from drunken copper miners, the history books don't tell it quite that way but I think I'm closer to the actual truth lol. Copper Harbor is at the tip of the Keweenaw Penninsula and the end of highway 41 at the northern part, from there you kinda run your car out into lake superior and a lot of deep water, so just short of the water is a whirl-i-gig where the road turns back onto itself and heads back to florida, Huntar likes the bus and laughs when I hit the air horn, not sure which day we'll go depends on which day the little guy is feeling the best, but I'm looking forward to it.

Yesterday we spent the day in the company of a family of friends, little Huntar and his family, I fired up the bus and drove up to houghton and picked them up then we went on a ride, first stop was to Chutes and Ladders, it's a playground for kids with all kinds of tubes and platforms and stuff, you climb and you slide and you do all kinds of stuff, from there we went to the state police post in calumet and took a ride in a patrol car, even got to hit the siren and talk on the radio to some cars downstate, that new radio system with all the towers is kinda cool, got to say hi thru the radio to Govenor Grandholm and her family at a BBQ, from there we hit the fire department and rode in a firetruck and again hit the siren and even got a little red fire chiefs hat for huntar and a teddy bear that they give out to victims of home fires. Then it was nap time for the little guy so the portable crib was set up in the bus bedroom with all the stuff plugged in and we went to a state park and enjoyed a free site with electricity while we grilled some steaks and sat and visited on the beach at the park, after the naptime we took a ride and visited a copper mine that dated back to the 1840's, was kinda cool, we stopped at the state highway garage cause he spotted a road grader and the forman insisted that I pull the bus up to the diesel pump while they showed him the road grader and a huge loader, so I even got the tanks topped off which I thought was cool and nice of them, after a ride to a zoo with little animals we went home, I dropped huntar and his family off, headed home and fell asleep on the couch, little guy wore this old guy out lol, was a nice day.

My wife and I along with a lot of other Vets and pepole who remember what this day stands for will be at the little Clarkdale, AZ cemetery for a memorial service for those who gave their all so the American people can just think this is just another holiday lets party.  If you just so happen to see a VFW or American legion person asking for donations for a Poppy remember these are made by VETS in hospitals and the Poppy's stand for the ones in Flanders Field.  We use the money to fund programs for the Vets. If you see a Vet please say thank you and WELCOME HOME. Those from Vietnam know what I mean.
Off my soap box now, you all have a great day and remember those who made it possible, and there are a lot of us on this board.

I spent the day on a 80' House boat cruising the KY Lake and over through the canal into Lake Barkley and back.

Harrah's Metropolis Casino paid me to haul a group of Vets and their spouse, or guests over to KY Lake Dam Marina where they loaded the boat. And the group insisted I go with them. Well since I had nothing else to do for the 6 hrs they were going to be out on the water I said "sure why not!" Boy did they consume a lot of alcohol! (I just drank "diet water" and watched!)

Didn't go far, just about 20 minutes to a buddies place with 19 acres.  Spent good time with family and friends.  Now I have to fix my genset.  Some electrical problem with the starting system...  Otherwise - glad to be done with brake problems!
