Nice sun shiny morning. Ear hurts but we had breakfast on the grill away. Trying to use up ham, potatoes, and mushrooms left over from camping with Buddy and Teresa. Next was drugs and a nap
for me. Diane took advantage of the situation by going to have her nails done. After my rest I was out cleaning up the grill when a motor home pulls in beside us. I couldn't believe it, it was Buddy and Teresa they just happened to pick this campground and the staff parked them right next to us. What are the chances. Diane got back from town and we started happy hour early with Buddy and Teresa to catch up on the last few days. They went to see the "House on the Rock" in WI. We never heard of it but they said it was great. We all headed in around six for dinner and rest they are leaving tomorrow.

Woke up to that all too familiar sound of rain and cool temps as well. It wasn't long after I walked Rudy the Burkette's were ready to pull out. We did the hugs and hand shakes again and they were off. We decided to stay another day to see how my ear does. It is a little better but I'm out of antibiotics and I really don't want to have to go another walk in clinic. Diane went to town (groceries) and I rested. I did manage to change the water filter. It stayed cloudy and quite cool temps stayed in the 60's all day with a few sprinkles. Diane made baked fish and green beans for dinner a nice break and it warmed the moho. More drugs and a walk and we called it a day.

We had our normal breakfast on the grill and headed to town to a three story antique store and

museum. As soon as we walked in we remembered it from our first visit to Galesburg. We walked thru it anyway. The museum part was nice, Ronald Reagan was born here, the antique department was way over priced. Next we went for lunch at a little bistro the 'Landmark Café and Creperie'. Diane had the sausage, beef ,onion and blue cheese quiche. I had a crepe of chicken, mushrooms, swiss cheese, scallions and black olives topped with sour cream. Both were great. Next came follow visit to clinic to check my ears. Short version went in at 2pm came out 4:30pm. Ears look better they say. Back to camper sausages for dinner and then we started to pack for road trip tomorrow.

and again for fuel. Now we were about to have fun. We filled up with fuel but could not make the turn to get out of the Pilot RV lane. Tight up against the curb and wheels cut hard we had no choice but to disconnect. But with the truck at a hard angle the tow bar would not release. So I got a screwdriver and pounded out the pins. Good idea right. Not necessarily. When the pin came out the screwdriver was stuck. A Pilot truck driver took his screwdriver and tried to pound out mine. Good idea right. Not necessarily. Handle on my screwdriver came off . Time for more tools. He found a metal punch and tapped out my screwdriver and it worked except his punch was now stuck. He pulled while we rocked the truck back and forth and finally we were free. And did I mention it was 91 degrees. We pulled over gathered up tools, dried sweat and decided to drive the last 45 miles separate. We arrived at the campground got situated and started happy hour immediately. Burgers for dinner, a nice walk for Rudy and the day was done.
