We will be headed out tomorrow, so we called it a night early.
It was another wonderful day!

Dinner Out
Tuesday, September 1, 2015 - Indianapolis, IN
Jess had a really bad start to her day! She sent me a text message with this picture:
The front 2 cars are Jess's. Her cars were parked out front her house. We are guessing the lady driving the car was a distracted driver. After she hit the cars she got her baby out of the car and ran. The problem was the 4 month old baby was not strapped in. The police did catch up with her, arrested her and took her baby to the hospital. Hopefully the baby will be fine.
This evening we went out to dinner with Patsy and Rick, and Sue, John and Kim at Alibi's We had a really nice dinner and after dinner we headed over to Patsy's for a while.

Move to Indianapolis
Monday, August 31, 2015 - Indianapolis, IN
Whenever we are going to be traveling Mike will check the tire pressure and lug nuts on all tires. Today was no different, except when he got to the Suburban. A lug nut was missing! Really! I hopped in the Suburban and headed over to the service center. Evidently the service tech broke one of the lug nuts...not sure how, but it was broken and the tech forgot to tell the service manager. So he ran over to Auto Zone to pick up a new lug nut. Of course it does not match the other ones, so he will be ordering a new set of lug nuts for us. We have taken our vehicles to this service center for years, but I am not sure we will be going back!
We were finally on our way. The drive down to Indianapolis was uneventful, which is the way I like it. :)
After we got set up, I worked a couple of hours and we took Gracie for a walk we headed over to my Mom and Dad's for dinner. My Mom made a wonderful dinner. After dinner we played Qwirkle with Mom and Dad and Alyssa. We had a really nice time.

Cleaning Day
Sunday, August 30, 2015 - South Bend, IN
We were up early this morning and went to St. Dominic's for 8:00am Mass. After Mass Mary Ann and Phil invited us to go to breakfast with us, but we let them know we had to meet up with Tony for a couple of minutes to get a couple of things from him. After our "see you later" and hugs with Tony we headed to Tony's Restaurant in Bremen to meet Mary Ann and Phil.
We had a nice breakfast and good conversation. We eventually got back to the trailer and started cleaning up and getting things packed up. We are leaving tomorrow for Indianapolis. I like to clean the inside of the trailer and the grill just before leaving and we always need to put all of the things we pull out back in their spots. :)

Tony's Place
Saturday, August 29, 2015 - South Bend, IN
We were up early this morning and headed for Tony's place. It was supposed to rain today and we wanted to get the soffit on his garage done today. We arrived around 10:00am and it was raining, so we all went to Home Depot to pick up some items Tony needed. We spent a lot of time there. :) We also stopped by Burger King to grab a bite for lunch.
When we got back to the house the rain had stopped and Mike, Tony and Alex went to work on the garage. I painted the window frames in the living room. It really looks nice now. Once it started getting dark out Tony said they could finish up what was left on the garage tomorrow. It was really coming together nicely. Tony really wanted Mike to help him install one of the bedroom doors, so we headed upstairs and got one of the bedroom doors installed.
After all of the house work was done for today we went over to Applebee's for dinner. It has been absolutely wonderful seeing Tony every weekend we have been here. :) We will miss him.
Tomorrow we will be busy getting the trailer ready to move on Monday.

Department Meeting
Friday, August 28, 2015 - South Bend, IN
We ran the Suburban over to the service center as soon as we got up, so they could finish up the work and find out why the engine light was on. We told them the Suburban had to be done at 11:00am, I was headed for La Porte again today. Well when we got there they said it was ready and the engine light was on for the gas gauge. That did not make much sense, since the gas gauge has not worked for a couple of years now. They reset the error code and told us it was fixed, so we hopped in the car and headed out. We did not even make it around the building when the engine light came back on. I pulled back into the service bay and the service manger went and got the code reader. He showed it to us, but we realized the gas gauge code was historical. Imagine that! The intermittent engine miss was the current code!
I needed to get going and I was not going to be taking the Suburban. They gave me a car off the lot to "test drive". Call it what you want I had a car to drive.
I got to La Porte just in time for our department celebration of all of our accomplishments for the past year. :) I had a really nice time catching up with all of my co-workers. And they served a really nice lunch.
When I got back I went straight to the dealership figuring the Suburban would be done. I was wrong. They still did not know exactly what was wrong! So I walked back to the campground, which was just behind the dealership.
Around 5:45pm they called to let us know the Suburban was done. It turns out when the mechanic put the distributor back on he missed a tooth. It is fixed and it looks like we will be able to leave on Monday as planned.
