Getting ready to Bonzai...

The BSR Spring Campout (May 18-19) is done.  We had a determined group of campers this year, but not as many as the past couple years.  There was a lot of cross wind on Saturday, but everyone made it in safely.  We had about 10 campers with maybe another 10 or so stopping for lunch or visiting us at the campground.  The temperatures dropped to about  26 degrees in the campground Sunday morning before sun rise.  By sun up our sodas were frozen and I had a hard time cleaning the coffee out of coffee pot filter because it froze (should have done that the night before).  We had a great campfire Saturday and Jeff didn't get very wild.   Jeff made his regular call to his wife about 11 PM, to tell her he was fine but Frump was a bad influence on him.  My speculation is that is the worst he gets, she is can not entirely unhappy with my influences, but I have never met this woman so who knows.  Good company and a warm fire, doesn't get much better then that.

Heading home on Sunday with Jeff, we stopped in Springfield, SD to look at process on the ship.  Jeff had never seen it before and seemed somewhat amazed.  Some spring on the way home from the campout, I'm going to stop to see the boat and it will be gone.  That day will be both disappointing and gleeful.  I will most likely never see the boat again, but I will be happy it is where it were it was meant to be and the builder is living his dream.... somewhere far from Springfield, SD.  Next year I'm going to to contact him and see if he can give us a tour.

This week getting ready for the Bonzai Road Rally next weekend.  NE Randy R. is going with me (a new riding partner - SD Randy R still riding, just busy helping his son move on Bonzai weekend and Dave W is not going).  Big Jim is also going to the Rally, but I don't know his plans yet.  I have to get the oil and transmission fluid changed this week and do a valve check.  Also need to get my Garmin rewiring project completed and maybe even put the new HID replacement system back in.  Lots of traveling going on for next 3 weeks.  Might even get Piglet (the Wee Strom) and Mighty K into the action.

Happy May Day... Arrrrgh!

Not going to drone on and on about the weather, just wishing everyone a Happy May Day.  I think of May Day as the festive day on May 1st, not the somber day in 1886 Chicago when angry labors protesting for a 8 hour work day threw dynamite at the police.  Today....

(shoot, this has been sitting in my drafts since May 1st).
