A reminder of some rules (or guidelines):

2. As an alumni of The Ohio State, the Buckeyes will always be the main game whenever they play
3. The "commercial games" will be who I'm flipping to in the breaks of the Main game.

Ohio State game, bye to our summer home, and on the road again

Spent Saturday at the rig watching Ohio State play with the Davis family.  It's almost become our end of the season tradition.

Smoked some bacon wrapped stuffed chicken thighs.  Men liked them, women not so much.  They were thick.  Was really excited about making them, was equally disappointed in them.

Friday was Connie's last chemo treatment in Ohio.  Had originally planned on leaving Timber Ridge Monday, but pushed it backed to Tuesday to give her an extra day recovery.

Did most of the seasonal things all last week, then packed Sunday.  Today (Monday) she was in great spirits and said "let's go today", so I finished everything up this morning and got ready to leave by early afternoon.  Will give her a good night sleep, then all day tomorrow to spend time with her Dad.

Always tough saying goodbye to folks, especially "The Sisters".  They've been such wonderful friends and we'll miss them.

Got into Caesar Creek around 7p.  Didn't have a reservation, so we took a "walk up" site.  No biggie AND we saved the reservation fee Reserve America charges.

The new steps and back up camera all worked great.  Also had a bonus a few weeks ago.  Camper at Timber Ridge put out a bunch of "free to good home" stuff.  Had been needing to replace my leveling blocks and he had a whole set of them.  Grabbed those babies up and tried them out today.  Perfect!

Lunch with old friends in the Flats

Fortunate today to meet up with our friends from Conneaut (and Bethany!) for a great lunch along the Cuyahoga River at Lindey's Lake House (formerly the Coastal Taco).

We met through boating in Ashtabula and used to be dock partners for a few years at Riverside Yacht Club.  They still have their boat at Conneaut Boat Club.  We had so many good times with these guys and watched both of our daughters grow up.

Had a great time catching up for the first time in a few years.

The week in review

Last week was a "good" week.

Met with our friends, the Greens, in Berea at the Cornerstone Brewery for some beverages and dinner.  (Note to self:  Don said the chicken strips are like Arby's).  Pulled pork was good, Connie said the fried green beans were good.

The weekend at the park was pretty laid back.  I did introduce a new beverage, a Pineapple-Lime Tequila Chiller.  Was really good.

Sunday, it was wakey wakey for French Toast and Bakey as the Davis family came out on their way to spending time at Ohio's Largest Indoor Water Park, Kalahari in Sandusky.

Jimmy Buffett Concert (at Woodstock?)

Had a few people over to the rig last night to watch a broadcast of the Jimmy Buffett concert on Margaritaville.TV.   One of the neighbors said it was kind of like Woodstock.  (Um, yeah.  No.)  Only one picture because I didn't get any shots before it was too dark, but had probably 8-14 people at any one time.  Also a good test of a new recipe of Key Lime Martinis*.

Was a good test (for football season) since cutting the cord of the new set up with the FireTV, the projector unit and the screen.  Got to be really dark, though.  At least 15-20 minutes after sunset.

* - Key Lime Martini Recipe:

1 part Eagle Brand Milk
1 part Pineapple Juice
1 part Lime Juice
1 part Whipped Cream (or Vanilla) Vodka

Ready for the fall and next spring

One of the nice things about staying at a seasonal site (like here in Timber Ridge Campground) in the summer on the same site is being able to buy and store your firewood, and your "stuff" over the winter.

Guy down the road sells a 1/2 rick for $35 and a whole rick for $60.  You load, you haul.  Got the whole rick in the fall of 2017, lasted till this June.  Got the half rick this time, which should last through next June again.  We'll see.
