August 23, 2006





Albany, New York - We are visiting with my daughter and her family. We camped in Averill Park, NY which is about a half hour from here. Not such a great campground but we are not there much anyway. the weather has been grand this week. We went to the washington County Fair all day yesterday. Stayed for the Burners UK concert which was quite good. They have a dyamite sax player. Lots of Credence Clearwater, Earth Wind and Fire and Chicago type music. there are pictures in the archive on this website of last year at this same fair. I will post some new ones as soon as I download them to this computer. I am using Ralph's Apple since mine is on the fritz again. I am trying to make it last since I don't want to buy a new one. It is the battery which costs $175. We watched the Gymkana and the lawn mower tractor pull. Looked at some spectacular cattle and horses, a few swine and some goats. We enjoyed some "nutricious" fair food too. One thing we did note, is that the prices of everything at the fair have risen dramatically.

I finally got a decent haircut this morning and Ralph is going to a cardiologist here in Albany this afternoon for a second opinion. Later toay, we are going to a polo match and will enjoy a tailgate picnic. My daughter is a fabulous cook. she is making special chicken and other goodies. We bought some sparkling fruit juice and special cookies for dessert.

My equipment seems to be falling apart all of a sudden. My main TV in Bearfoot died from what I think was a power surge. ralph took all the supports etc down and he along with my daughter, grandson and a neighbor took it down, put it in the car and we delivered it to a tv repair place. It better be done on Thurs. since we will be taking off on Sat. for Wog Island. My camera zoom has quit and is unrepairable. I don't want any more equipment failures.
