This week is very busy, getting everything ready for the flight out to Nebraska for Maddie's wedding. Today just the beginning of the crazies. Started off with breakfast at Brothers Restaurant hopefully energy for the rest of the day. Most important was pick up, sign and file taxes. All done with a week to spare. Dropped off my jacket at the dry cleaners, hit the wine store and the grocery store. Got back to Moho about 3, had left over wings for lunch and more left overs for dinner at 8pm. Somewhere in there we started happy hour🍷

Today just as busy but never left the Moho. We finished organizing the Moho for a month's stay. We moved and scrubbed the picnic table. I tried to build a safe step outside the Moho just need some more material. It's still pretty shaky, I'll try again tomorrow. We have been avoiding the bag of mail (2 months' worth) picked up from Lynne's. Today we had to tackle that job. When it was all over, we had 1 bill to pay. Guess we should be grateful. One of our favorite comfort meals for dinner, sausage and fried potatoes.

This morning Rudy surprised us by throwing up on the bed. Seems foil and sticks don't digest so well. So, Diane's schedule was screwed up from the get-go. Quick breakfast and she was off to the laundromat. She came back I took the car to get the heavy-duty jack pads from the storage unit, picked up prescriptions and back home. She took the car to the Post Office, Karns, dry cleaners and wine store and still made it home for happy hour.

Spent most of the day making calls, sending texts, pictures and emails trying to get the Moho in for the final repair. No luck yet. Got me all packed up for the flight to Nebraska in the morning. I haven't flown in 20 years. I'm a bit nervous to say the least. The rain, wind and thunderstorms moved in just in time for my flight.

The big day is here. Up at 3am, toast for breakfast and off to the airport at 4am. I was in the airport by 5am for a 6:15 flight. I was not disappointed. The storms🌩 made take off terrible and rest of the flight was just very bumpy. Landed in Chicago had almost an hour before next flight. United was nice enough to send me an email telling me to would take 21 minutes to get to my next gate. And apparently that is for a young guy. I hurried the best I could, stopped at the bathroom and had 10 minutes (to rest) before boarding started. I was a wreck. Flight to Lincoln was bumpy not near as bad as the first half. Landed at Lincoln, life is good. Lincolns airport has just 5 gates. Went to the car rental area. One counter same guy does National, Almo and Budget. Filled out the paperwork and off to find my car it was parked in space one just across from the terminal. 😁 I finally made it to Shari's Airbnb around 3pm.
Meanwhile back at the ranch Diane wanted to nap but no can do. Every time she was close to dozing off, I would call to give her status update. 😉 The plan was for her to go the Celtic festival at Dill's tavern but with wind and rain she gave that one up. The wind was so bad she went out to put our little window awning up.

My day was fairly uneventful. Shari's crew took off for wedding prep early morning. Shari made the remaining family breakfast, we talked a bit and headed over around noon. First gay wedding I was ever at. Not any different than a regular wedding. The ceremony was over in 30 minutes, but pictures took forever. Pizza arrived around 4pm, I was starved. Visited with everyone I knew, had some wine and pizza🍕before heading back.
Diane spent most of the day cleaning up the Moho. She says it is easier to clean when I'm not around. 😏 I don't know why I'm always helpful😁. She did manage to get over to visit with Shane, Morgan and the kids for a while.

Oh crap, another day of flying for me. 😕😐 Visited with the O'Donnell especially little Elias right up until I had to go to the airport. Said my goodbye's and off I went. Now that I'm a seasoned traveler😂😏things went better. Nice weather and smooth flight to Chicago. Again 25-minute hiking to the next gate but I made it. Flight home was good until the landing. Very strong winds made it quite tense as we landed. Good to be HOME. Diane picked me up and headed over to Mike & Karen's to get the truck. It was almost 7pm until we started dinner. Some wine and dinner, I was done.

Oh, it is good to be back home. My own bed, bathroom and got my truck🛻 back. No time to rest, more emails to insurance co and repair facility. I hope something happens soon. I mowed our site, before another thunderstorm moved through while Diane went to the grocery store. The wind has been terribly strong again today. It did let up enough to cook on the grill this evening.
