Kerm here.

Ya know, some days you travel a zillion miles and at the end of the day you think this is the greatest and other days you get your butt kicked running a just a few miles.  Today was one of those days.  BUT, in the end the nutso days have stories and the smooth days blend into the background. 

If you read Chris's blog she did a Readers Digest version of the day.  I won't go into everything else but poor Misstickle, the boat traveling with us, had problems overheating and had to stop somewhere in Paducah.   I'm thinking that they may have pulled up to a maintenance facility for tow boats in the Paducah  cut..  We saw them missing and called them on the radio and they said to push on as they had the situation under control but would not be able to catch up.  In retrospect, we should have turned around but they were fairly adamant that we push on.

We are due for R and R.  We're thinking that we may go further up the lakes and find a nice cove and just hang out for a few days.  Well,  after buying a new camera,  fresh veggies and meat.  We'll keep you posted on what's going on when we know ourselves.

Other stuff. sister Mary and Cecil were going to visit us down here in the lakes but something came up.  We were looking forward to their visit.  O' well.  Son Dan may have a break in his jet training due to simulator schedules so he may visit for awhile.  Good, as I think there is a programming change that needs to be done on the voltage regulator.

I'm going to bed.
