Yesterday we spent shopping for supplies for the continuing adventure and also bought a 32 in. LCD TV which just fits. It is a lot lighter than the old one, which we left at Bob's, and gets great reception over the air of regular, digital and HD signals. The Whippy Dip flavor changed to Black R
Trip Log
August 11, 2007
Erie is having a three day event on the bayshore aimed at the motorcycle crowd. It started with a ride, led by Peter Fonda, from the casino to Liberty Park. We went downtown early for a chance to walk around. We met the Selaney's (former neighbors) at Perry Square and caught up on old times.

We made it back to Erie yesterday afternoon after some thunderstorms and have registered at Lampe Campground until Sunday. Tom Carroll, a good friend of the family and my brother Bob's best friend, passed away Tuesday. We were able to attend the funeral mass this morning and the wake following.

Greetings from beautiful downtown Grand Lake Stream. It is truly fantastic here but the heat and the bugs have been but a small inconvenience. A dip in the lake has become a welcome daily ritual. Alesa & Laura have finished reorganizing the house. Today I am at the studio in Calais await

Last Thursday, Alesa & Laura went shopping in Calais while I fished and fixed a fuel tank leak in Steve's truck. We also bought a trailer hitch so I could pull the boat for our trip to Crumple Island.

We arrived in Maine on July 10th and spent a night in Portland. We are always going by and never get a chance to stop and tour the city. We did the tour and it was worth the stop as it is a charming, albeit large, seaport. We did our normal stop at LL Bean as well. We arrived at Grand Lake St
