Sharp's Travels

Our fuel tank for the truck is painted and ready for pick up. On the way to pick it up we stopped at Menards to get some stainless steel bolts to fasten it to the bed of truck. We had it painted at Jerry’s Auto Body in North Fond du Lac. It was painted white to match the truck. I spent the afternoon drilling holes getting it ready to install. Tomorrow I have to pick up some fuel hose to finish the job. Cheri did laundry today. We went over to Coz and Nikki’s early evening, they had a party for Cece has it was her first day of school (kindergarten).

I have the car show pictures up loaded; the first ten pictures are of the car I really like. Some day we hope to have one like it. Cheri and I did take our morning walk. When we got back Nikki called and wanted to know if we wanted to go out for lunch, couldn’t turn that down. After lunch Cheri and I went over to Menards, I wanted to get some ideas on how to build the closer for the motorcycle trailer. I have a couple of ideas I am going to check out tomorrow. Later in the afternoon we stopped at Nikki and Coz’s so I could upload the pictures of the car show. Then Nikki fixed pizza for supper. The girls were the big winners in cribbage, they won three and we guy won two.

Coz and Nikki came over for breakfast. After breakfast Cheri and Nikki went to the flea and craft sale here at the fair grounds. Coz and I went to the car show. I thought there were a lot of cars yesterday, but there were twice as many here today. I took a lot more pictures and will try to get them uploaded tomorrow. Coz and I didn’t get back to the 5th wheel until around 1:30 pm. The girls were already here when we got back, Nikki wasn’t feeling very good so Coz took her home so she could rest. Later this afternoon we went out to Marty and Anna’s place for Michele’s home coming party.

After our morning walk we went to the car show here at the fair grounds. It is there 36th year, last year they had over 400 cars. We spent over 3 hours looking at all the cars. I took a lot of pictures that I will upload to our photo album. Look under Fond du Lac car show. I only have about 5 pictures in the album. I am having trouble uploading them because of the slow speed internet service. I have over 100 pictures, so keep checking and I will get them out there as soon as possible. Coz and Nikki came over this afternoon and played some cribbage. Then they took us out for supper in Oshkosh to celebrate Cheri’s birthday (39th so she says), it was an excellent meal. I don’t remember the name, but we will go back again sometime. When we got back to the 5th wheel we played some more cribbage. The girls won 2 games and we guys won three.

I was up at 4:30 am this morning getting ready to go and escort the 1157th National Guard returning from Iraq. Coz’s niece (Michele) was one of the 165 coming home. There were six of us that rode to Milwaukee to meet the four buses that were bringing them back to Oshkosh. We got to Milwaukee and had some breakfast and were on the road to get gas for the bikes when we met them heading north. We quickly got our gas and headed out to catch up to the buses. Will by the time we got to Oshkosh we were still about 4 minutes behind them. We headed to the airport hanger and the buses made a trip through Oshkosh. It was a nice home coming with a lot of people on hand to welcome them back. We rode back to Marty and Anna’s for Michele’s welcome home gathering. Then I headed home to see what Cheri was up to. She spent the day cleaning and doing laundry. There is a big car show here at the Fair Grounds this weekend and lots of campers and old cars coming in. So this evening we took a walk around and looked at the cars. Then we took a walk to DQ for ice cream.
