We set TWO records today…first, we left Dayton in the middle of the heaviest rain storm in their history! Second, we ALL got to the show without having to stop and fix ANYTHING!

In between, just before we left the hotel, Boss Hog checked at the front desk, found out that check out time was 11:00, and asked for a 10:30 wake up call. That’s the last we saw of him!

Kevin, Jen, and the kids, on the other hand, left right on time, and arrived at their appointment with 20 minutes to spare.

The rain stopped when we were about 40 miles from the show venue, the Center For Rural Development (how appropriate for the town we were in). We stopped, and since the temp was approaching the mid 60’s, we put the tops down.

By the time we got to the show field, it was raining again. The Old Guys are tough…we left the tops down, and braved the rain. In hindsight, it wasn’t a very good idea.

We did our usual thing (signed in, and got our magnets), but due to the rain, didn’t take any pics. There’s only a half-dozen in the photo album from today.

Then went into the expo center. We just HAD to try some Menonite fried pie, and it was well worth the $4.

We found our hotel…33 miles away, and on top of a mountain. We took a nap, went to the local truck stop for meat loaf dinner, and after we finish the blog, we’re probably heading for the indoor pool and hot tub, to heal some of the new scrapes, aches, and bruises we’ve picked up today!

Now that we’ve pretty much ended our day, the sun is out, and the temperature in a whopping 70*!
