When Gracie and I went out for our morning walk it was snowing! I was hoping we were far enough south for this time of year that we would not be seeing any snow, but Mother Nature had other ideas. :)
It was another wonderful day!

Snow!
Monday, November 17, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
When Gracie and I went out for our morning walk it was snowing! I was hoping we were far enough south for this time of year that we would not be seeing any snow, but Mother Nature had other ideas. :)
When we got back I cleaned off the steps, so they would not ice up and cause me to end up on my butt. :)

Breakfast at Campbellsville University
Sunday, November 16, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
This morning we took our time getting up and getting ready for the day. We finally decided to head to Campbellsville University for breakfast. As we were leaving Bruce and Margaret and Richard and Marcella were also headed out to go to breakfast. Shortly after we arrived John and Kathy joined us. After a good meal and great conversation we finally headed out, 3 hours after we arrived. :)
Before going home we stopped by Lowe's to pick up a couple of things. I picked up a Christmas wreath and we got a string of lights to put on it. We will not be putting it up today, since it is raining. Maybe tomorrow. :)
We just relaxed the rest of the day.

Long Hike
Saturday, November 15, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
Today Gracie and I went for a 6.35 mile hike. It was a little cool today, but it was a really nice walk. Below is a map from my mapmyfitness app.
We took the Shipp Trail, which is the loop toward the bottom of the picture. We also took all of the Cobee Trail, which is the smaller loop on the top right side. Below is a picture at the beginning of the Shipp Trail.
The Shipp Trail comes out very close to the marina.
It also comes very close to the road that goes down to the marina.
At one point I lost the trail, but I did end up finding it again. Below is the area where I lost the trail. :)
While on the Cobee trail I saw at the bottom of the hill this small frozen water fall.
After our nice long walk when went back home and relaxed for the rest of the afternoon until it was time to go pick Mike up to go to church at Our Lady of the Hill.

Amazon Offer
Friday, November 14, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
Earlier this week Amazon was looking for 100 of the Camperforce to go to the Jeffersonville, IN facility. They offered a $500.00 bonus, plus $0.75 more per hour. They only got about 30 people to sign up, so today they offered a $1000.00 bonus. Ok, that is a lot nicer, but they are having us stay at the Louisville Expo. They have already turned off their water, so we would have to use our fresh water tank. They would have a water truck stop by every other day.... It puts us closer to Indianapolis for Christmas, but it puts us further north. We decided we would stay put. They got all of the necessary Camperforce to sign up.

Cold weather arrives
Thursday, November 13, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
Nothing exciting has been going on the last couple of days, the cold weather has arrived as predicted and we are trying to stay warm. This evening Mike put heat tape on our hose. It is supposed to be a low of 24 tonight, but I think it is going to be colder. Our outside thermometer is showing 25 and it is only 8:00pm. When Mike bought the heat tape at Lowe's they told him the only reason they stock it is because the Camperforce at Amazon. They will even order the heated hose for you. :)
No snow yet, but it is predicted for the weekend. I can honestly say I am real glad we are not up in Northern Indiana right now. Don't miss shoveling snow at all. :)

Last Nice Sunny Day for a while
Monday, November 10, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY
Today was going to be the last sunny warmer day for a while, so I wanted to take Gracie for another long walk. I had several things I wanted to get done today, including getting in at least 5 hours of work. I also had several phone calls to make. We finally headed out for our walk about 3:45. I was hoping to walk to the Cabin Trail, but by the time I got there I was afraid it would get dark before I got back, so we turned around and headed back. We still went on about a 4.5 mile hike. It was really nice.
I am not looking forward to the cold weather that is coming.

National Corvette Museum
Sunday, November 9, 2014 - Bowling Green, KY
This morning we headed for the Bowling Green to go to the National Corvette Museum. Before going there we thought we would go to Bob Evans for breakfast, but they were very busy and we did not want to wait that long. We went over to Crackle Barrel and they were just as busy. So we decided to eat at the Corvette Museum Cafe. The Cafe is in the Museum.
We both order the BLT and a smoothie. It was good, nothing special. Then we went on into the museum. We found out today is the last day to see the sinkhole. They are going to start filling it in tomorrow. So we were real glad we made it here today.
Here is the hole. It is very big!
There were 24 corvettes in this room and only 8 of them went down in the hole. Only 3 of them will be repaired. The rest are beyond repair. The first one to be pulled out was driven out of the building and has since been repaired. It was called the "Blue Devil". One of the other ones being repaired was the millionth one built. It is currently at GM being repaired. The last one to be repaired is going to be this black one.
This 1983 is the least damaged of the ones not being repaired, but it still sustained a lot of damage.
This one is 1.5 millionth one to be built.
The next 3 were the most seriously damaged vehicles. The first one was 1991 ZR1 Spyder. The next one was a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06. The last one was a 1984 PPG Pace Car. The Spyder was by far the most heavily damaged.
We had a nice time seeing all of the cars. It is a great museum with a lot of history on Corvettes.
We wanted to make a couple of stops before heading back to Campbellsville. First we stopped by Cabelas where we both bought some hiking boots. Ok, so that was not a planned purchase. :)
Then we headed for Lowe's to see if we could pick up some heat tape for our hose. With the cold weather coming we need some heat tape. The only heat tape we could find is not recommended for hoses. Hummm.
Next we went to Best Buy to ask about changing our cell service, so I can use my phone as a wifi hot spot. But it turns out they are not allowed to sell Verizon at this store. The nearest Verizon store is in TN. You have to be kidding me. It seems Bluegrass Cellar has a contract with Verizon and they do not have any stores in South Central KY.
We thought we would try to pick up some heat tape at Wal-Mart, but no luck. We will have to just get the heat tape that Lowe's has for now, unless we can find some on the internet.
Before heading back we stopped by Red Lobster for dinner. It has been a very long time since we have eaten at a Red Lobster, but it was very good.
On the way back the moon was very big and beautiful. It was hard to get a good picture, but here was my attempt. :)
