We took the toon out today. At the last minute invited Bob & Ginette Everts & it was so nice. We went down to the lock & dam before Pekin & then ran out of gas just before we got to PIA!! Thank God boaters are congenial, caring folks! Mommy flagged a boat down (she learned the distress signal at their boating class!!!) He had just enough gas to get us back to the entrance to our marina. We flagged another fishing boat down & he took Daddy in to fill our new, empty gas cans that were sitting in the truck! Guess we learn a little something every time we go out.
A. One of the tanks was full but wouldn't switch over - need to fix that
B. Always carry extra gas!
We did get to see part of the air show with the Thunderbirds - 6 jets flying their formations. What a wonderful view we had in the middle of the river. They made us so proud to be Americans!
All in all, it was a really pleasant 3 hours. Mommy said I'm like an old pro - in my life jacket & lying next to mommy taking a nap!
