Pier-Lon RV Park 5/10.

We spent three days at Pier-Lon campground.  It’s on the West side of Medina, so pretty close and not far from I-71 so easy to get to.   Pier-Lon has a lot of green space, play ground and full setup for $50 per night.   There is a big pond with a beach and is a great place for kids.  Alcohol isn’t permitted, so it is setup as a family destination.

One Piece is a great watch. 9/10

One Piece is really entertaining.   Yeah, everybody says that, but I was surprised.  There are a few anime series I like, but it’s usually the silly stuff.  I wouldn’t watch One Piece, Cowboy Bebop or Dragon Ball Z as anime.  Making an anime into a TV show is even less likely to work out.   The trailers weren’t enticing.  I thought it would be some sappy Mexican kid moping around.

Sparky likes apples.

My apple trees really came through this year.  As I was picking them, Sparky decided to get in on the action.  He likes the idea of apples, but doesn’t actually eat them.

Most of the apples will go to feeding the deer, but some looked so good, I’m making apple butter.

Judging people at Planet Fitness

I get that “judgement free zone” is supposed to mean that a pudgy dotard like me won’t feel intimidated by the fit young people, but I am judging people all over the place.   I respect the chunky rascal on the treadmill, trying to get hammered into shape.  I appreciate the crotchety bastard who just finished the rehab regiment after cardiac surgery.  He can’t lift much, but he’s lifting.  It’s the other people.

Galaxy Outlaws by J.S. Morin is not Firefly. 7/10

J.S. Morin’s Galaxy Outlaws is usually recommended as a book series similar to the Firefly TV show.  That is just wrong.  If you like Science Fiction, you must watch Firefly.  It’s described as a Western in space.  That doesn’t do the TV show justice and is part of why Firefly didn’t catch on when it originally aired, and only lasted one season.  The characters in Firefly make it a perfect TV show.  10/10.  There isn’t a thing that can be changed to improve it.  If you don’t like Firefly, then you don’t like that genre.
