Austin's 13th Birthday

We spent Saturday in Herculaneum celebrating Austin's 13th birthday. We had a nice time, it was good to meet Kristy's family. Very nice day.

Central Great Lakes Aliner Rally

OH IL WIs by IN MI Aliner

We just attended an Aliner regional rally in northern Indiana, right next to Michigan. We had a little rain but it didn't bother anything. Everything turned out great. I think we had 30 Aliners there.

We always have the usual, how do we fix this:

Also the famous campfires:

It's always good to see all of our friends at these events.

Moving an Aliner

This is not the proper way to move an Aliner.

A 25th Anniversary Celebration

Last night we attended a very nice party. As always, we had a good time.











The kids even did an awesome song.

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.
