\nHello again from Greenville, OH<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n
\nFriday Morning October
\n7, 2011 (third travelogue of this trip).<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n
\nThis week has sure gone by
\nquickly. We leave tomorrow.<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n
\nPat has been having a ball
\nusing the various resources available here. In addition to the great
\nresources at the Garst Museum, she has spent some time at the county
\nrecords facility looking at old documents. But the really great
\nresource has been the Library. They have a genealogy department.
\nThe woman who works there is so very helpful. She is apparently a
\ncontract person (low pay, unfortunately), and just loves her job.
\nShe has been working directly with Pat and the two of them have made
\nsome pretty good progress.<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n
\nWe have again gone to a
\ncouple of graveyards. Some folks think that is kind of weird, but it
\nis rewarding to find the markers of our ancestors. Besides that, the
\ngraveyards are beautiful in their own way.<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n
\nI have been spending quite
\na bit of time on work related efforts. It seems that when we left
\ntown, the world discovered that our business exists {big grin}. I
\nhave had to process a couple of nice orders for our fire detection
\nand suppression system and have an order for a specialized version
\nfor an industrial customer (indeed, all of my orders have been
\nnon-RV). That is a great trend. Hope it keeps up.\n<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n
\nWe are heading to
\nChattanooga next week to participate in the Bus Conversions Rally
\n(website)<\/a>.
\n I have been working with the Bus Conversions Magazine owner,
\noffering several seminars (including Pat’s rubber stamped greeting
\ncard seminar) as well as any type of help he needs. I am also
\nscheduled to be a co-presenter of a one day welding workshop
\n(assuming there is sufficient registration). We will arrive a couple
\nof days before the workshops begin and help with the various
\nactivities needed to facilitate a rally of this magnitude.<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n
\nThe welding workshop will be a first
\nfor me. I am doing the \u201ctextbook\u201d presentation and the other
\nperson will work with the attendees to do actual hands-on welding. I
\nthink it has the potential for being a good session. I have been
\nspending a lot of time pouring over welding books to get the slide
\npresentation developed. I have a lot of welding experience (since I
\nwas 15 years old), but I have never tried to \u201cteach\u201d a class.<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n
\nOur daughter asked about the fall
\ncolors. The trees here are just starting to turn and the colors, so
\nfar, are great. I think we will hit the best colors in Tennessee. I
\nhad mentioned that the weather was rather cold when we got here. It
\nhas now gotten pretty nice with daytime temperatures in the high
\n70s\/low80s and nighttime in the mid 40s.\n<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n
\nI had noted that we are staying in the
\ncampground at the Darke County fairgrounds. I had linked to a
\nsatellite view in the last blog and that view shows how extensive the
\nfacilities are. Here is the link: (map)<\/a><\/u>.
\n There are a large number of barns and facility buildings. The
\ngrounds are immaculate. Many years ago, I attended a car show in the
\n’56 Chevy in Hamilton, OH. My brother-in-law and I drove up here to
\nattend a very large steam tractor event. I fell in love with the
\nfairgrounds when we were here and it has been just as neat as I had
\nremembered. At least one source says that the fairgrounds is located
\non 176 acres and has 1000 campsites. The Darke County Fair is said
\nto be among the largest county fair in the US.<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n
\nLast night and this morning we are
\ntrying to catch up on washing. It is sure nice to have the washer
\nand dryer in the bus. That lets Pat do the washing while we relax
\nand do other things. We have 30 amp service at the campground, but
\nthat is not sufficient to run the dryer. We are running the
\ngenerator when we do the drying, but that is a very small price to
\npay for the convenience.<\/div>\n
\n\n<\/div>\n
\nThat is all for now.<\/div>\n
