This morning at 7:30 AM, after our morning routine, George, Laurie and Bob headed down for coffee, tea and glazed donuts at the main building. I intially thought I'd skip that morning meal as the first seminar I was interested in attending wasn't until 10:30 AM. However, I decided to go anyway, so when I pulled up on my scooter they were all surprised to see me. I decided to have green tea instead of the so called coffee in styrofoam cups. Styrofoam cups are one of my lease favorite vessels for drinking any beverage from, but especially coffee. I also do not like to drink from certain plastics, as both the plastics and the styrofoam changes the taste of the beverage. Glass is the best, then stainless steel, which is what my to-go mug is lined with. With that said, I mustered through the morning meal with green tea in a styrofoam cup. Laurie went to a class on how to program and use your microwave/convection oven. The speaker, actually was cooking food and Laurie was dismayed that the speaker cross contaminated the food she was preparing by not washing her hands between touching proteins. I ended up going to a seminar with George on LED lighting. If I haven't mentioned it before, the Elkhart 4-H fairgrounds is surrounded by freight train tracks. The trains have been on an every 30 minute schedule 24/7. Its funny how, one gets use to the noise and for the most part, we only hear the noise occassionally. Our motorhome is I'm guessing about 400 feet away from the tracks. The typical trains going by are automobile carriers double stacked with about 52 train-cars. Now, the trains must always blow their air horns, but lately, I haven't heard them except once or twice today. Tomorrow is our last day here and then on Sunday we will part company with Laurie and Bob. They are planning on visiting One of Laurie's friends from high school up in North Branch, MI. And we are headed off to Yorkville, IL which is about an hour away from downtown Chicago. Tomorrow, I want to call and make reservations for the Chicago River Architectural Tour and the Gangster Tour. Tomorrow, I'll set up the slow cooker with pot roast, and the four of us will head out for some more factory tours or such.
