Sunday, August 31

7:05 a.m. - Yesterday went okay.  I got things done that I needed to get done.  I was able to write out the beginning of the month bills, and then I fixed the mower.  I was very happy that the belt and mower deck piece were correctly ordered.  Then I spent time working on cleaning up the HHR after Chase's torture of it.  Then I took Amber's bike over to Bettendorf for repair.  While I didn't get all of that done by noon, I was back to the campground by around 2 p.m.  Then I finally had a chance to relax and read my new book.  We had guests for supper, so around 5 p.m. we had hot dogs, brats, and burgers.  Brandon Baker, his son Colin, and Shawn and I hung around the campfire until around 10:30, and then I tried to watch a little meTv before heading to bed.

Today?  I'd like to stay at the campground all day.  I'd also like to watch the Notre Dame game.  Other than that, not sure.
