6:24 a.m. - We received a lot of rain yesterday, and then it turned a little hot. So with the "rain day", I ended up going to the Musser Library in Muscatine to do a little research. It was fun, and now I know the process of doing the research, which pretty much is done all through the computer anyway. And that was all after getting in a little resistance training in the morning. So I worked the big muscle groups, and then I worked my brain. That theme continued after returning from the library...I read my book, and then Amber and I went for a little walk up around the track at the school. In the afternoon we "lounged", and I started loading up the camper for this weekend's stay at Loud Thunder. In the evening we went to the Mercer County Fair to watch Darrin Harrison, and man was that craziness. In his event, it was a "trailer race", which means each entry had to pull a trailer of some kind while they raced around the track. Most of the vehicles pulling trailers were trucks, but Darrin was the only one driving a van. He ended up getting third place, but the whole thing was a spectacle. There was one truck pulling an old hay rake; another truck was pulling a boat trailer with a boat on it. I question the whole safety thing, but it sure was a spectator event. We took Tucker with us, so after watching the race, we took him home and then came home ourselves. We didn't stay for the bus race...seven school busses racing on the track as well...geez...craziness.
So today, after getting around this morning, I'm taking the camper out to Loud Thunder. Today doesn't look too bad for temps, but tomorrow's temps could make it more of a pool day at home rather than a camping day - the air conditioner is likely going to get some work. The rest of the weekend is looking okay. I got a message from Chase that he may try to stop out sometime this weekend, which would be nice.
