Monday (14th) I had a poor night 's sleep last night. Anyway we were excited to get up and get on the road. After getting our breakfast and doing a few routine things, we packed the RV. We were able to get on the road about 10:30 AM. We arrived at El Reno around 12:30. The drive was uneventful - but you do need to pay attention when you drive through OKC. The next chore was hooking up our utilities and unhooking the pickup. In addition, we had to flush the antifreeze out of the water lines. Steve put on the water filter under the sink and had a mess to clean up. Something must have went a little wrong there over the winter. We had supper at Hideaway Pizza in Yukon with Kristi & John. It's great pizza and the original one is in Stillwater. Then it was back to the RV and trouble with the TV. For some reason it was not getting the satellite signal. Steve worked on that for quite awhile and finally got it going. Our main reason to come to El Reno is to look for Logan a vehicle. He has saved his money and we will match his amount so he can have wheels. When I paid for our stay, I had a nice visit with the camphost. Tuesday (15th) After our morning routine, we picked up Logan & Kristi. First we drove around El Reno to look for cars, then it was back to Kristi's house to do some research on available vehicles and gather ideas about where to look for cars. We drove up the Broadway Extension (OKC) and went to Bob Moore, where Logan drove 2 or 3 cars. Then we went to some used car lots in the south side of OKC and got back to El Reno about 5 PM so Logan could go to work. Later Steve & I joined Kristi & John for Mexican food. It was a little joint downtown and the food was very good. Wednesday (16th) We picked up Logan about 9:15 and headed to Bethany to look at a Toyota. It's a No on that vehicle. Back to Yukon and stopped at Joe Cooper. We were there til 1:00 PM. Logan & Steve test drove a 1997 Ford Explorer (25 year old, 100,000 miles). They said this was the best vehicle they had checked out, so the dealing started. We got out alive! The Explorer is immaculate with good maintenance records and Logan is happy. So that was the one! He now has a vehicle, a girlfriend and a dog - all a young guy needs for happiness. John didn't feel great so he didn't join us for supper at Chili's. Then we had to deal with Kristi's vehicle - someone said she needed $2600 of repairs work. She took it to another place and they said it was OK. No repairs needed. She will keep monitoring it to prevent problems.

Thursday (17th) Today we slept in until 9:30. Then did some routine morning chores. Our next item on the agenda was going to Walmart to pick up my meds and other supplies. Then we just took it easy in the RV. Later we took the dogs to Kristi's house and hung out - but they were not nice to Logan's pup - so we took them back to the RV. Supper was at Kristi's house and we played a crazy game after supper while visiting with everyone. Austyn & Sky (her boyfriend) came over also.

Friday (18th) Today was cold and windy. We got up at 10:00 AM and just putzed around. After walking the dogs and making the bed we continued to just hang out in the RV. Today we relaxed. Saturday (19th) After we got around, five of us went to Bass Pro in OKC. Steve got a new wardrobe of shirts. He likes the Redhead brand of shirts they carry. We all ate lunch at Texas Roadhouse and then made a stop at Academy Outdoors. Then we went back to the RV and did more relaxing. Shopping and running around can really tire a person out!

Sunday (20th). We were going to leave yesterday, but the weather made us change our mind. We are waiting for a better weather day! So today we picked up supplies for a hamburger cookout at Kristi's. Logan did the grilling - woohoo!. We visited about the trip to Montana and then went back to the RV. We returned to the RV and the wind was blowing so hard I thought I would go crazy. Some of us don't have far to go (to get crazy)! LOL
Monday (21st) Another day that we slept in. It was about 10 AM when we got up. We stayed in the RV til afternoon because it was raining all day and it was pretty chilly. There was a break in the rain and we went to Walmart for more groceries. I made chili for supper and we watched TV. There was a tornado at Kingston, OK tonight (southern Oklahoma). Tuesday (22nd) Another suboptimal weather day! It was 37º with a wind chill of 27º! We stayed inside the RV most of the day. Steve has been researching RV tires and lawnmowers while we have this slow time. And we are staying over another night. We did go see Kristi, John and Logan and drove around town to kill the boredom and get rid of our cabin fever. Our supper was sloppy joes and chips. Wednesday (23rd) We were up and around at 8:45 today! I felt a little puny but we got everything unhooked (utilities) and hooked up the pickup and were on our way home about 10:20 AM. We got home about 12:30 and unloaded stuff out of the RV. Then most of the day was spent resting alternating with unpacking the RV. I made some yummy Chicken and Vegetable soup for supper. Thursday (24th) Yes it is still pretty chilly! 36º! We did laundry and paid bills. We also unloaded more stuff from the RV. Steve retrieved the mail. and that was the highlights of this day. Friday (25th) Today we went to Stillwater. I wanted to get hair products from Ulta and shampoo at Walgreens. So after that was finished, we went grocery shopping at Walmart. Then it was back home to unload our goodies and put our feet up. Saturday and Sunday - Pretty much routine stuff. We did walk both days. And on Sunday - we did some trip planning for our summer trip to Montana. Also on Sunday - our electricity was out for about 2 hours. Bummer. I guess someone hit an electric pole.
