I got behind in the blog again.  Oh well, not that there was a lot to write about. 

Saturday afternoon we did some price checking on tires.  It is time to put new ones on the Suzuki.  I have benn 75,000 and 80,000 miles on them.  That is both driving miles and towing miles.  It looks like we are going to have it done on the base. 

Saturday we also checked out the Havelock annual chili festival.  They have a lot of booths and then a bunch of people making chili.  It all had beans in it so it isn't really chili to me.  Anyway, you get to taste the various chili's and then vote for your favorite.  Since it was late in the afternoon when we got there some of the booths had already closed up, having run out of chili. 

Saturday evening we went over to Stormy's house for a BBQ.  Most everyone was there.  We had a good time together.  We will be getting together later this week. 

Sunday we went looking for a part for my P-trap under the sink.  I seem to have a leak down there.  I hate plumbing problems.  The afternoon was quiet. 

Monday morning Bill got up and took the car over for tires.  We have a little noise coming from the rear and we thought it was the tires.  Looks like it might be the brakes instead.  So back to the service shop tomorrow morning. 

They made three of the rigs move out of the campground today to allow them to get rid of the tree that fell down.  They were suppose to be done by noon but they didn't even show up until almost 3:00!  They didn't finish either.  There are still a couple of big pieces left to haul out.  Two of the rigs decided to leave and the third is going to be allowed to stay as they work. 

Well, that is all.  Here are some pictures I took at the chili festival.
