HOOAH!!! Have a great trip Jim! If they talk you into wearing one of those funny Greek dresses the guys wear over there, I don't want to see any photos.

Well Boys here I go.
Get off work tonight and finish packing for our trip to Greece. Will be arriving in Frankfurt Monday morning. It will have been 50 yrs. since I first arrived on German soil. Only have a 2 hr. layover then a short flight to Greece. We'll be there for 2 weeks and celebrating our 30th anniversary when we're there. Got an over night layover in Frankfurt on the way back so were staying in a hotel and going to eat some good German food. Wish I could get back to Amberg but just not enough time on this trip. I'll check in after I get back.

Harry - the Nightlite is still glowing nicely.
Dave - missed the temp by 3 deg, only got to 66 deg. However we'll hit the mid 80s by Wednesday and the rest of the week.
Harold - Guess some areas got it worse than others. Heard that there were Waterspouts out on Tampa Bay and near the Skyway Bridge. We kept getting Small Craft warnings, Lake effect Wind warnings, and the Tornado Watch alerts, but, not much wind in the campground, this time. The timing sounds about right. Heaviest weather got to us from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM and the rain finally cleared out around 8:00 PM.
Cathy and I will celebrate our 37th Wedding Anniversary on Thursday the 19th.

Frank, that was one wicked storm. at least 60 mph winds. Thought a tornado hit.
Whole thing went through in less than an hour
Stay safe

It's gonna take more than a little storm to stop the Wandering Scotsman and the Mrs. Keep that night light glowing.
