Why haven't there been many recent posts?

I've been occupied, both physically and mentally, for the last month.

One of my only two Williams cousins was critically ill with heart problems in Rochester, MN. We visited him and his wife Sharla on three occasions.

He had surgery on two subsequent days to install auxiliary pumps. From this, he never recovered. After over a month of unconsciousness, it was deemed that he would never recover so nature was allowed to take its course.

His funeral was last week in Brainerd, MN.

The good news is that the sad occasion gave us an opportunity to see his three daughters, their husbands, and their seven children. They live in Georgia, Indiana, and China.

I have a new flight student which keeps me busy on nice days. The goal is for him to get his Private Pilot License before we leave for Rockport 35 RV Park. As a practical matter, that means we should attempt to get it before Thanksgiving.

We have told Allison that we will be at the park December 11. I suspect we might arrive a few days before that. We are allowing a few days to spend with our Workamping friends who are at a Corps of Engineers park just NE of Dallas on the way down.

And a few days ago, I discovered and started to fix a hydraulic leak in the slide mechanism on the trailer. Messy.

I am now feeling the squeeze! The rest of the summer's work to do and only a few weeks to get it done.

Those are a few of the reasons updates have been few and far between recently. Of course another reason is that I've not heard from you so don't have your comments or articles to post.
