Saturday's task

20+ years ago I built a free standing tree house (fort) for the boys. It is past it's time. Half rotten and an eyesore. Time to go.

Now what do I do with all the junk leftover?

Food Pictures

I haven't posted any food pictures lately so I thought, why not? Here are some of the delicious meals my wonderful wife has made me lately.

Montauk State Park

We just spent a few days at Montauk, near Salem Missouri, camping in the Aliner. Montauk is a big trout fishing area.

This was a do-it-yourself, unofficial Gathering. We had nine Aliners and one Chalet. Of course the best thing was the people. It is always good to see our friends at these events.

The weather was typical for Missouri in August, low 50's to upper 70's. Yea right, but it was wonderful. Actually it was cold this morning, must of been upper 40's. I wouldn't know. This place is in the boonies. We had no TV, no cell phones, no Internet. I think I was having withdrawals.

We visited, played games, and just enjoyed the company.

We even had two Interior Designers discussing fabric, carpet and curtains. I heard talk of a new TV show, "Pimp My Aliner".

We had good food including Jan's cobbler made in Dutch ovens, two nights. Boy, was that good!

A few went to the Lodge for dinner. They said the food was good.

One of our group was trying to sell his Aliner but I don't think he had any takers.

We had some unexpected visitors, too.

We also did a lot of bike riding.

We are looking forward to the next time we get together.

Friends and Family get together

We had a gang over today for BBQ chicken & bratwurst. It's always good to get together. We had a nice time.

Birthday Dinner

A nice steak, huge sweet potato, Bud Select and Key Lime Pie.

Hard to beat.

Camping at Carlyle Lake, IL

We just spent 3 nights at Boulder campground. Good weather. We had a great time.

We had some awesome sunsets.

We did a lot of bike riding.

It did get a litle warm as shown on my indoor-outdoor thermometer. The transmitter was in the refrigerator.

Our A/C unit worked very good. It was in the 60's overnight inside, just the way we like it.

Bike Riding

Today was a beautiful, sunny day.

I got two bike rides in this weekend. Yesterday Route 66 State Park, today I rode River Des Peres trail. River Des Peres didn't smell too good today.

Craig's 26th Birthday

It's hard to believe Craig is 26. He didn't want to go out to eat, just wanted to hang out and eat pizza. Ok by me.
