Campout!

We joined an FMCA Chapter while in Perry, Georgia last month. This group, Happy Tennessee Travelers, has campouts every month from April to October. We joined the April Campout which was held in Pikeville, Tennessee.

It was a nice campground with pretty good facilities. Which was good because we had rain every day.  Friday evening we all met for dinner at the pavilion which was bring your own. Saturday, breakfast was potluck, bring your own beverage, although coffee was available. Saturday lunch, you were on your own. Some of the group made their way into town for an auction. Apparently, it was very crowded. We took the opportunity to play pool in the game room.

Saturday evening was again a potluck. There are a lot of great cooks in this group. I haven't really learned to cook in my convection microwave. As you can see I am not even on eye level with the center of the microwave. I'm also leery about using a step stool since I tend to forget I'm standing on one. I do have some great recipes that would lend themselves to convection microwave.

I wish I had taken more photos. I spent my time meeting and trying to remember the names and faces of the other people there.

We had a lot of fun until Saturday night, Sunday morning when we had thunderstorms with a lot of wind. I don't think we've ever camped in that much wind. Hubby is an early riser and made coffee and breakfast for himself. When I got up later and went to make coffee and breakfast for myself, we discovered the power was out. I am very thankful for our propane generator.

We discovered it is not so bad having a rainy weekend with other campers.

Still Here -- More Stuff for the Dynamax Isata 3

No, we did not fall off the face of the earth after returning from Perry, Georgia and the FMCA convention. One of the things we returned with was allergies due to the high pollen count. Poor hubby caught the norovirus, pinkeye and is now dealing with allergies due to the high pollen count at home.

The Defiance Tools e-bikes we ordered from https://www.clarboard.com were delivered and hubs and I assembled them. Assembly consisted of unfolding the handlebars, adjusting the seat, putting air in the tires and putting on the pedals. The jury is still out about whether or not the fenders will be installed. I'm considering painting my fenders first.

My older daughter and I did test them out. Oh my, they are fun.

Safety first, hubs and I finally shopped for and bought helmets. And bought a trailer hitch bike rack. Our next camping trip is coming up soon and now we are prepared.
