20220823

20220823 - Up in the am and headed to the dentist, everything looks good. Home and to the desk to knock out the things I needed to get done in the AM. Jumped in G's car and headed up to the school. I stopped to fill up the gas and G walked over and met me. G drove us to Jackson OH to get his car inspected. It took us about 1.5 hours to get there. We waited a bit, pulled in, gave the guys all the paperwork we had and hoped they didn't impound the car... IT passed inspection and the guy said there was a BMV just down the road. We went there and there was NO ONE in line so we walked right up to the counter, got the new title and new plates in one stop in about 15 min! AMAZING! I never thought we would get all that done toady! I found the world's largest apple water tower and a house made of stone from the Grand Canyon in Jackson so we had a look and G drove us home. 

20220821

20220821 - Up in the am and got around and a couple things done. Took Hazel for a walk as it started thunder. LJ&I finished packing up the last couple things and headed up to Kent. We had to drive through some of the hardest rain I have ever driven through on the way. We made good time, parked, walked, met up with some of J's friends and made it to the dorm and got him checked in. L&J got a cart and I brought our car to the dorm, we unloaded everything and J and his roommate Hayden took up a load, L guarded the stuff we sat on the curb and I went to get J's car. I got back with J's car and L&I unloaded it. I took J's car back to the parking spot and then walked back to the dorm. They had everything in the room by the time I got back. Perfect timing! L was trying to arrange all of J's stuff, he wasn't having that, but did allow her to make his bed. We met his other roommates and JGF6 showed up with her new friends, they are all jealous of J's BIG room. LJ&I met Hayden's dad, we met his mom during orientation, and exchanged phone numbers. LJ&I headed to the ballroom where J had to go through a short orientation and L&I just hung out for a bit. We offered to take J, Hayden and JGF6 to dinner, but they were already making plans with their new friends. So L&I headed to Mike's Place for dinner and I had arranged to meet Jim & Carrie Long there as they were dropping daughter off at Kent today too. We had a really nice dinner with them. It was great to catch up and the food was amazing! Back on the road and we swung by the Farm to pick up some Bday presents Gma&paW had for D's bday. It was a quick stop and we were back on the road. Home and got things settled and headed to bed after a long day,

We found Mifflin High School, which I didn't even know existed, and apparently it is the place to go to practice as there were already 2 others there doing the same thing. We got the stuff set up and G practiced for about an hour. He did better than I expected, and it wasn't as easy as he thought it would be. We swung by the auto parts store to get future fluids for G's car on the way home.
