T- Minus 15

Well, we have 15 days left till we hit the road for St Louis to meet Bob and Dorene Boardman. They are coming in from North Carolina and we will be a Caravan of two Motorhomes for this trip. Bob and I have had a lot of tours of duty together in the Marine Corps. That was a few years ago. Am looking forward to this trip with Bob and Dorene.

The knee is coming along pretty good, I go to physical Therapy 5 days a week in an effort to get it back to as close to normal as I can for the trip. I am sure I will still have some therapy I have to do myself on the trip, but that's OK. I May have to cancel the mountain climbing on Mt. Mckinely though..

Installed two new tires to the front of the motorhome. All the tires appeard to be good, but felt that two new ones on the front would give me a "Warm Fuzzy" for the trip. Ken helped me remove the tires and we loaded them in his truck and took them up town to have the new tires mounted, then came back and Ken re-installed them on the Motorhome. Don't know what I would do without his help these days. I'll never be able to repay him. He'll be looking after the house here while we are gone also. He's not only my friend, but my neighbor too. Great combination.

Well, see ya later. Time is flying by....
