Friday 17 September 2021
Wednesday 8th, Thursday and Friday we worked at Tompkins doing site clean up and flood clean up. We did quit early enough on Friday to get some kayaking and fishing in. Came back from work hooked up the boat loaded the kayak on top and off we went. Backed in the boat and tied it to the pier and got Diane off on the Kayak. We planned for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Diane paddled out of site as I started the boat and headed out on the lake. About 100 yds. out the motor quit, restarted it quit again and finally would not start. I had to use the trolling motor to get back to dock. Mad, sad, and disgusted I loaded the boat on the trailer and went home. Diane had a great time kayaking so at least one of us had a good trip.
Saturday the 11th we went into Wellsboro I went to a auction and Diane went to crafty/fund raiser show at the fair grounds. We both bought something and she picked me up around noon to head back home. I walked Rudy and then headed up the mountain to relocate the trail camera while Diane went back to town for groceries.
We are sitting out at the fire and the neighbors above us are out unloading some things from the truck. 3 deer just look at us all then go back to eating.
Sunday we started packing up the Moho for a trip to Williamsport for some service work, Diane did another kayaking trip. She is enjoying her trips more and more. Dinner with Jen and Greg always a good time.
We finished packing Monday morning and headed to Rhone's in Williamsport. I drove straight down and was parked up 2:30. Diane on the other hand left, stopped at the post office, went to check the tomatoes at Tompkins where she met another camp host(talked) and then the wine store before joining Rudy and I at 5:00. We were going to do burgers but opted for wings from a local restaurant. We have to be up and out of the Moho by 8am!
Tuesday morning we were up and ready to walk out by 7:30. We had Rudy and had to pack enough of his stuff for the day. Food, drinks and snacks for us and the truck was quite full. First stop was breakfast at Mark's dinner. We were the only ones there at first and I guess the waitress was bored she took our order but stood and talked for awhile. Good we had all day to kill. Food was good and we were on our way by 9am. Into Williamsport hit a few stores, a few antique stores before lunch. By now it was getting warm so we couldn't leave Rudy in the truck. We decided on Sheetz for a wrap for lunch, big mistake it was mostly just dough just wasn't good. Then I got out pumped some gas and couldn't find the keys. We were disappointed with lunch, hot and now I lost the keys while pumping gas. After looking everywhere Diane found them on the dash! All was not lost on the way back she spied a seafood store. We stopped loaded up with shrimp and seafood salad. Oh YUM and that would be dinner tonight. They didn't bring the Moho out until after 5pm and we decided to spend the night again.
Wednesday we were up early than we wanted to be but once they opened up you just can't sleep anymore. Only two hour drive so we packed slow I headed home Diane took the cooler back to load up at the seafood store, more shrimp, more seafood salad, scallops and a nice swordfish steak. Back to Ives Run, Rudy and I had the camper already parked and set up, until she showed up.
Thursday was another work day cleaning up a site pulling vines and cutting branches. We worked longer than normal but wanted to finish up this one site.
Friday we worked helping the rangers disassemble, pull and move the boat docks for winter storage. That was quite interesting. We quit just after lunch to give Diane some time for another kayaking trip. We had so many left overs we couldn't cook the swordfish but don't feel to bad, all the leftovers were some sort of seafood. Next started getting ready for trip south to Chris's birthday party tomorrow.
