So, I finally found a car that was located in Connecticut. After they called the racing action on Friday, Melanie and I borrowed PR Ted’s rental car and drove to Connecticut to pick up the car. It took four hours to get up there and only three to get home. We avoided NYC and took the Tappen Zee Bridge on the way back. We got back to the motor home around midnight. The dealer was going to deliver the car on Sunday, but I was afraid the race would get called, so I wanted to make sure we had it in case we had to go home early.

When I woke up on Saturday morning, it was still raining outside. After they called the race, we headed home around 12:30. I drove the motor home and Melanie drove the new car. It’s about a 10-hour drive back to Indy. We stopped at Smoky Bones in Columbus to grab a bit to eat and got home around 11:30. The Knocks were sitting at their fire pit, so we went over and joined them. Jimmy Prock was home already, so he and I talked about the rainout.

I slept in on Sunday morning and then unloaded the motor home and took it to the shop. Then, I watched the Colts game and we went for a ride in the car on Sunday evening. I came to the shop on Monday morning to check in and tried to go the Indiana license branch (BMV) to register the car, but they’re closed on Mondays. I didn’t do much the rest of the day. I looked at a car dolly so we can tow the car behind the motor home and then we had take-out from Los Rancheros for dinner.

Today, I decided to buy the car dolly. I couldn’t find one to borrow, so I decided to buy the one I looked at. Before that, I went back to the BMV to get the car registered. It took about 90 minutes, but it’s done. Then, I did some banking before spending the afternoon getting the car dolly hooked up since we’re leaving tomorrow. We’ll take off around Noon and get into Dallas around Thursday morning. Some of our friends from Ottumwa now live in the Dallas area, so we plan on visiting with them on Thursday.

Keep your fingers crossed we don’t have any rain this weekend.
