11 PM sitting in Betty's hospital room; she's back on oxygen.

Trip to Bemidji went pretty good, got oil & filter changed on Jeep (99 Cherokee), Cricky (81 LeMans), and RumJohn (92 Tempo). Driver side mirror on Cricky was broken, replaced with a cheap plastic aftermarket mirror. Still need to lube them, and RumJohn appears to be running rough once it is warmed up, need to look into that problem. Vger ran like a champ.

A couple of pretty heavy showers went thru Bemidji while we were there, causing a couple of short breaks in the action.

Bought some gas while in Bemidji, paid 3.819 there, it is 3.919 here in GR.

When we got back home we fired up Stripez (92 Voyager) and went grocery shopping. Runs pretty good. I had forgotten, but just before everything turned sour with Stripez I had purchased new belts and hoses for it; still need to get those installed. Also, the steering rack seals are leaking, need to investigate the options for repairing that. Stripez uses nearly a quart of Power Steering fluid a week, that will get real expensive real fast.

As near as I can tell, it didn't rain at home while we were in Bemidji.
