Wednesday, June 24

5:42 a.m. - Yesterday was a good day.  In the morning, I had my first attempt at campfire coffee, and it was a bit of a battle, but it was okay.  I think I could have had more coffee grounds, and I learned that the fire is a challenging first part of the process.  If there aren't any hot coals left from the night before, then starting a new fire is a requirement, and then the fire needs to be a good fit for the coffee pot.  After coffee, Amber went home, and that gave me a chance to try a ski walk and bike ride.  I did both, which was good for the knee.  I need to start a daily effort of getting in more exercise now.  After that, I cleaned up and went to have lunch with Chase.  It was nice to see him.  We didn't have any breakthrough moments, and there weren't any serious conversations.  I don't know what the future holds or what Chase sees for his future.  I just know it was nice to spend some time with him.

On my way home, I stopped for diesel.  I needed to start fueling up, and $200 later, the truck's tanks still aren't full.  Getting a total fill-up with the truck certainly is hard on the wallet.  I made my way back to the campground to drop off the firewood and then head to the house.  I wasn't sure the weather was going to cooperate, but I was able to get the yard mowed - a good task to get out of the way that should get me through to the weekend before having to do it again.  Then I came back to the camper to have some supper and a campfire.  I finished off some leftovers in the fridge, and then mom came over for some campfire time.  It was another beautiful night for campfire chat.  

And on to today.  I'm going to head down to Fort Madison this morning to visit with  the Hoenigs.  Then I'm not sure what the rest of the day is going to be.  I will head to Shawn's to check on his place, but other than that, I just don't know.  I was supposed to have my last physical therapy session this morning, but I got a call to change the time to the afternoon, but I didn't want to do that.  With that in mind, I just canceled, so no more physical therapy is scheduled.  I'll see Dr. Hussain tomorrow, and then ORA should be in my rear view mirror for awhile.
