Bama -v- Western Kentucky
Time to take the RV to Tuscaloosa and begin football season 2012.
Tim, Tanya, Dottee, Mollee and Spencer. Yes, Spencer! Spencer is going tailgating!
We "Barnesee" around and did not leave until 4:20. We were using walkie talkies since I was in the car following the RV. The walkie talkies were not working well so we stopped in Coldwater to check the batteries. While stopped, Time realized he forgot to pack his "hang up clothes". So,he waited in Coldwater in the RV and I went back for his clothes. Finally we are on our way. Traffic was not too bad and we made it to the RV Storage lot (to fill the RV with water) by 7:30. Janis and Randy are staying at the campground this weekend. We visited with them while the RV filled with water. Then to the gas station to fill with fuel.
Shell station is our next stop so we can use our fuel perks from Winn Dixie to save money on the fuel. Finally, we reach the RV lot. Whew!
We get set up and began grilling burgers. Pattie and Ivan arrive and bring supplies for tailgating. We must have been starving because those were the best burgers I've ever eaten! James and Leah came to the lot and got the key to Hotel Patel. Nephie came after work. The night quickly ended. Everyone was gone by 11 PM. Earliest we ever gone to bed on a Friday night in Ttown.
Saturday AM began around 730 am. Switched on the TV and a thin line appeared. The TV in the RV died. Worked on Friday night, didn't work on Saturday AM.
Janis and Randy arrive with ice and then leave to see their Branna and Hunter. I took all 3 dogs for our traditional Saturday morning walk to the Quad. Some traditions can't be ignored. Ivan, arrives with ice and chicken fingers. Pattie, James, Leah, and Jonathan arrive. Ivan and Tim go to Best Buy for a new TV. Pattie and I begin working on Timz Dogz. Pattie takes over and I get a shower.
Ellen and Nan arrive with ice. YEA! We have lots of ice for drinks and keeping stuff cold. Anne P and Ryan arrive. They set up the 2 EZ up shelters. Nicolette arrives. The gang is all here. Tim and Ivan return with a TV. James attempts to get the TV setup inside. No luck but the outside TV works. We all watch ballgames outside. Ann and Dennis Couch joined the gang. Ann's first Bama game! I ride a bike to the stadium and have our gameday radios from last year reprogrammed. We watch AU and Mississippi State until it is finally time to go to the game. Bama wins .35-0! RTR Allie is 54-10!
Tim left the game early in the 4th quarter. I gave him the wrong combination for the locks on our bikes. He walked back to the RV.
After I arrived at the RV, I attempted to get up the new TV and in the process lost all TV! Anne P and James to the rescue. They figured out that that the cable from the satellite bad. They connected the satellite directly to the outside TV and we were back in business. We had a great time watching GA and Missouri. Anne, Ryan, Taylor and Cade helped clean up outside and put away the EZ ups and chairs. Nephie came over after worked and he spent the night with us in the RV. It was great to have nephie in the RV.
Sunday morning, Tim went for breakfast and papers. Normal routines are once again established. Nephie and I walked the dogs to the Quad, up University drive and back to the RV. Nephie took Dottee to see Mary Catherine at the yogurt shop. Tim and I finished the clean up, dumping adn fillign with fuel. Then to Nephie's apt for showers adn then to Willlhagans for lunch.
Yumy food!. Finally we were on the road home. A great weekend with family and friends.
