Nov 5th - Russellville, MO

We left Logan Valley Christian Retreat late morning last Thursday and moved to Kelsey and Andy's (our granddaughter & her husband) in Russellville.

We had a good time while at Logan Valley Christian Retreat. We had the good fortune to meet many interesting people. A big benefit to me was that I was able to improve my carpentry skills while working on the new building.

Thursday evening/night I drove to Coldwater, MI for a quick visit with family members and to take care of some business. Today I drove back. Nearly 1200 miles round trip. I look forward to tomorrow, the Sabbath, being a "day of rest."

An interesting thing happened while driving in the Odel/Dwight, IL area. On Thursday night I saw hundreds, if not thousands. of red lights that seem to flash at the same time. On the way back today my suspicion that the lights were associated with wind generators proved to be true. There must be around a 1,000 wind mills in that area. I can't even begin to guess how much they cost us taxpayers in subsidies. I did a quick web search and came up with nothing. The Feds, and tree huggers, absolutely do not want information on the true cost of wind power to "leak out" to the general public.

This evening Kelsey and Andy invited David & Elaine (Andy's Mom & Dad), Amy & Melissa (Kelsey's Mom & sister), and Kathy and I for supper. A good time was had by all, or at least by me <grin>.

I only did a temporary set up of the RV so tomorrow I need to install a 50 amp outlet in the garage and maybe hook up the water. We will also need to scout around for a place where we can dump our sewer tanks when they get full, maybe on Monday.
