Thursday, we took a ride into Chicago to Navy Pier to hear the Dueling Pianos on the Pier and meet with a former student of Bob's who went to Loyola and has lived in Chicago for a few years. Was fun catching up.
Not much drama traveling this time, just missed our first stop on the return ride, so a little bit of jogging to make the 9:40p Metra train back to Elburn. Biggest drama was when we turned on the Garmin Nuvvi we got really bad news. It must have gotten smacked when we put it away in the glove compartment and the result was a disaster as you can see. Sent it in Friday to see if there's anything they can do.
Friday night, Sycamore RV Resort was pretty electric with weekend campers and kids everywhere. Probably trying to get that last run out before school starts. Met a great couple (Scott and Leslie) in their new RV (moving in their daughter to NIU) staying here from Detroit.
Saturday, since we're moving on Monday for tires, we chalked off the first big "To Do" by finishing repairing the damage from the Iowa tire blow out. Was a lot of work getting glue to hold, holes sealed, etc. That Great Stuff expanding foam is good stuff but really messy. We both threw away our work clothes at the end of the run.Later we were going to go to the MooseFest here in town, but the Severe Thunderstorm Warnings came out around 3:00p and sure enough, around 3:30p we had sheets of rain, hard driving wind and lots of lightning and thunder. Couple of the weekenders learned about their awnings in storms, and will be learning this week how expensive they are.
Scott and Leslie came over after dinner and 'the girls' made them feel right at home. Night of Olympics watching after they left along with planning for the quasi move on Monday, and the weekend is pretty well over!
