Another week of Hosting!!

 Saturday 12 June 2021

   Like life its self, this week went by in a hurry.   We worked Sunday and Monday kind of slow only one party crowd and that shut down early in the evening.   Sunday we had a lot of fire rings to clean out and of course we did some vine pulling and weed wacking, not required but we like to do what we can.  The weather has been "OK"  warm afternoons and cool evenings.  They keep calling for afternoon thunderstorms but we only had one but you had to be prepared every day.  So every time you go away we had to clean up, put the chairs away and shut the windows etc.  The one storm we got dumped over a 1/2 inch of rain in like 10 minutes I mean it just poured and then poof the sun came back out.

   On Tuesday I had my regular check up with the doctor in Westfield that lead to a trip to Coudersport to the gastro doctor that lead to a  trip to Wellsboro for ultrasound and another x-ray.  To sum that all up in four days I had 2 doctors visits, 3 test in two different hospitals and put about  300 miles on the truck.  Now after all of that the doctor calls back to tell me my numbers look great, A1C is down, cholesterol is down and have a great summer.  Good news just took all week to get there.

   Now while I was running all over Tioga county Diane was stuck here at the Moho going stir crazy.  She had to fit grocery shopping and all of her other shopping around my doctors visits.  So Saturday we went to do some yard saleing in Elkland.  They were having a town wide yard sale day.  So... we left here around 10:30 to go to town and wouldn't you know it just down the road is a flea market sign and we pull in.  Turns out the store used to be a sporting goods store and now the owner is retired and the place is more a sporting goods flea market.  Well I got to talking to guy for awhile then a little longer meantime Diane is tired of looking at fishing lures and keeps reminding me of the time.  Finally we leave with  4 or 5 items including four books Diane wanted.  He didn't charge her cause she had to wait so long.

  We finally get to Elkland around 11:30 yard sales everywhere, people walking the streets and you can sense a "find" just waiting for you.  We parked and hadn't hit but two or three sales when hunger hit us.  So we go to  the Rusty Nut restaurant for some lunch.  It is a new BBQ type place with really good smoked meats.  We split the combo and it was still way to much to finish but very good except for the over use of pickled onions in just about everything.  Lunch is over and we enjoyed it, now it's time to hit the yard sales.  We soon realized it must have ended at 1:00 or so because by the time we returned some were gone some packing up and the rest just had junk.  So we took the back way home and called it a day.

   We have Sunday yet before our next shift and hope to get some kayaking in.  Saturdays are a little busy on the lake for kayaking with all the ski boats, jet skiers, and fishing boats buzzing around. That's about it for this week. 

    

Taking a break from Kayaking,
