21 May 2026 - NSTR Another Days Pre-Rally

 

Today we stayed put and got caught-up on a bunch of stuff on our to-do list.  

• I cleaned the bugs off the front cap. The front of these RV's catch a lot of air and get plastered with bugs going down the road.  You have to stay on top of this or you will have a mess on your hands and will possibly /have permanent damage to your front cap.  .  
• I replaced my CO/Propane leak detector.  They have a five year life and mine was on borrowed time.  Thanks to Amazon my replacement was delivered here yesterday. So today was the day. A 2-wire connection, some solder and heat shrink and we were done.
• I washed our windows, inside and out.  Just another one of those housekeeping things that needs done periodically.  I have a nice squeegee device and a painter's pole that makes this easier. 

Several times during the day we took a stroll around the campground and greeted those we met. It is so fun to connect up with Ally's from all over the country.  Today we met a couple from Greece NY, a retired firefighter and a retired school teacher,  We talked with them for an hours or so and then invited them down to our coach and Doreen gave them an Alliance dish towel she had embroidered. 

That is about it for today.  Tomorrow afternoon we will meet with the Chaplain of the local VFW post as they will be the recipient of a FamAlly Cares Inc donation this year.  

Saturday we will move to the Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds Campground and later go out to eat with our Daughter Jennifer and her family including our grandson Lucas who will be home on leave from the US Army!
