Busy and productive day

I was woken up around 1:18 a.m. with the loud rumblings of a forthcoming thunderstorm. Even my sound sleeper (John) was woken up by the loud rumblings. We were treated to quite the light show from our bedroom windows. Finally, it all dissipated around 2 a.m. and we were able to get back to sleep.

As we had scheduled a service appointment for the truck for this morning, we had an early get up and go and were on the road to Rapid City by 7:45 a.m. We had coordinated the appointment with Rick and Y and they picked us up at the Ford Dealer. We went out to a leisurely breakfast and then Rick had the oil changed on the Jeep. We were pretty much in and out from the Kwik Lube pretty darn quick. We got a call from Ford saying that our truck was done. We decided to pick the truck up later so we headed off to the Journey Museum (see our May 19 journal entry). Rick and Y seemed to enjoy it and we consider it one of the Gems of the area. We then headed to the Ford Dealer and picked up the truck. Good to go for another 10,000 miles.

We then stopped at two RV stores for some water heater parts Rick was looking for as he is having some random issues that are driving him nuts. We had a nice linner (lunch/dinner combination) at On The Border. Of course, while in Rapid City, we stopped to do some shopping. We got home a few minutes before 8 p.m.; it was a long day but very productive . . . gotta enjoy that!

We went up to Rick and Y's to play cards but called it an early night a little after 11 p.m. Learned a new card game and Rick and Y want to refresh themselves on the rules for Canasta before we play that game. John and I have played Canasta a couple of times many years ago; hopefully, it will come back to us quickly.
