Elkhart, IN


This week finds us in a wet, soggy northern Indiana.  One advantage of heading north is that we tend to miss the most severe weather.  We were successful in that this year, but we didn't miss the rain.  It's normally cool and rainy when were here this time of year, but this visit is especially wet.

We started this period by moving to Lagrange, IN on Saturday ahead of the rain settling in and spending the weekend at the service center awaiting our Monday morning trailer service appointment.  We finished our main service at Lagrange on Wednesday, spent Wednesday night at Shipshewana, then moved over to the Onan Service Center in Elkhart this morning to have our generator checked out.  Seems all's OK with the genie, so tonight we're taking advantage of the paved campsites at the service center before moving back to Shipshewana tomorrow.  We plan to spend the weekend there.  Next week is our suspension upgrade appointment at MOR/ryde (again, back in Elkhart).   This is a result of us purchasing a 2017 Ford pickup and is being done so we can tow the trailer level, balance the trailer weight on the trailer axles, and gain back some much needed trailer-truck clearance at the truck's tailgate.  So it's been exciting...well sort of as we find out our truck had quit charging the trailer batteries (codes cleared, so we're all good).  And then there's the moving around in the rain which is always fun.

In other news, we're getting over our colds.  Both of us still coughing, but we're better.  Hopefully, we won't make ourselves sick moving around in the rain.  Otherwise, we're good, hungry, and looking forward to getting outside when the rain stops.

So that's it for us.  Thanks for stopping by and checking up on us.  Everyone have a great weekend.   We'll be thinking of you as we eat Ben's Pretzels.  David
