We met up with many old friends we have come to know over the years. We made a pair of new friends who were parked next to us.
As we were discussing pets and the fact many folks bring them, and tie them to the bumper and let then annoy everyone else, I stated we did not have that problem. He stated they bring two cats and five cockatiels. We later learned the number of birds was six and all in a small ( by today's standards) fifth-wheel. I didn't say all our festival friends were normal.
Well, maybe Jim and Donna from Newfoundland, PA are fairly normal. After all he is a retired truck driver.
Going away for the weekend did cause it to rain on the garden and a lot of stuff came up, that I wasn't sure about.
A lot of folks are working to pull the 8th Annual Antique Tractor Show together for this weekend, June 5, 6, 7. If you can stop down at the Canton Firemen's Field and check it out, good food, entertainment, Chinese Auction. Ed Pepper will auction and lots more.
I would have written more but a nearly forgotten doctor's appointment in Elmira pretty much ruined Monday.
My lawnmower repairman called and told me how much it will cost and that ruined the rest of the week. I may have to take out a second mortgage or sell the hay.
I see the street sweeper has been here and cleaned up Sister Street. My neighbor Kenny has mowed the lawn at Rich Way's place once again. Now if I could get mine done the whole street would look good.
I'll take this opportunity to congratulate great-grandson Jaden Brown. Although I have not learned the results, it is quite cool to race at the famous Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA.
Now for the latest on the government and Washington, DC. First we had the IRS then the VA, the CIA, and who knows what other parts of the alphabet.
Now we have the TSA, the folks who make sure our fellow flyers don't have a bomb stuffed in some out of the way hiding spot. These clowns were subjected to 70 tests and failed 67 of them. With all this talk about raising the minimum wage I feel many of the above named should qualify for a lower wage based on job performance.
Oh, one more thing about our trip to the doctor. We decided to treat ourselves to lunch. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but upon arrival home I saw on the receipt that we were given the senior discount. We weren't even asked. I had just spent about an hour with the doctor so I probably look a bit rough and old so I can understand me, but my wife is much younger and should have had to prove her age.
