As far as birthdays go what do you consider the BIG ONE. Is it when on reaches the age of 21 and can go to the corner bar and tip a few. Is it 30 and it's the black balloon when a person hits the age of 40. Along with this age comes a black cake and numerous other gifts that relate to the parting from this earth. God forbid the ages of 50 and 60 or is it really 65 when you retire and rid yourself of the everyday grind of going to work.
Let me tell you, yesterday did I hit the BIG ONE at the age of 70? I don't think so and for sure I never thought of those earlier years as being the BIG ONE. At 70 I am ready for the second round of living and that won't happen if you sit on your ass and feel sorry for yourself. 70 is a great age. Maybe it will be different at 80. Hope not.

CAN'T BELIEVE I DID IT.
Was at the camper this weekend to meet with the man who fixed my air conditioner. When something like that breaks all one can think of it big $$$$$$$$$. Much to my surprise it was not big $$$$$$$$$ but only $217.00 and it works like a charm, although it was cool this weekend and I didn't have to use it.
As you might know there were several severe storms that came through Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. They were flashing storm and tornado warnings all night on tv. Well about midnight I fell asleep and woke about 6:30 am looked out my patio window and saw that it had rained. Met some friends later and they asked me if I had heard the heavy winds, sirens, thunder and did I see the lightning. People were also going around the campground telling people to go to the comfort stations for protection. I must have been extremely tired because I didn't hear a thing. Maybe it was a good thing I didn't. My camper is located at the end of the man made lake forming the letter Y for Yogi Bear and this part of the lake is known as Tornado Alley.
I was sorry to hear of the loss of lives and property due to the storms.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WEEKEND
If you were like me, the weekend started on Friday. Went to the camper to open up and get ready for the flea market that is held every year at our Yogi Bear Camp Resort in Plymouth, IN.
Got everything prepared on Friday and got up at 5:30 a.m. Saturday to assure I got a table to sell my wares. I have been doing this for at least 8 years and I really, really think that this was my last year. With all the work I put into this thing and putting up with the heat, 92 degrees, this is funny, I only made $2.30 for my trouble. I must say one has to sell a lot of items at ten and 25 cents to make anything. But that was that.
The rest of the was trying to keep cool because my air conditioner was broke and nobody would come out to fix it on the weekend. Many of the repair companies were not allowed to come in the park. What the hell is that all about, $$$$$$$$$?
The weekend was not a total bust because I enjoyed good food and conversation with my neighbors.
My daughter came out on Sunday and had a nice hot day. My son came out on Monday and the day was hot but quickly turned much colder and the rains came. If I recall the same thing happened the last time he was there. Maybe one day he will get it right, right.
Finally today I got someone to come out next Saturday to fix the ac. All I can see in front of my eyes is $$$$$$$$$$$. Hope not.
