Woke up this morning and did a bit of work on my water-rocket. I attached cardboard fins to attempt to make the rocket a bit more stable in-flight. I went outside and attempted to try my new rocket-fins. I accidentally dropped the rocket “gently” on the ground and 2 of the fins came off instantly. Attempt: failed.

For lunch I met my buddy Chad Stiver for lunch at the Brown Bag Deli in downtown Warsaw. We went up to the storefront and tried the door only to find it closed for the day. Bummer. We then decided to try downtown Warsaw’s newest selection – The Mad Anthony Brewing Company. I had a great Mushroom & Swiss burger there. The price was comparable to the Boathouse in Winona Lake. The service was GREAT.

After lunch we headed off to “Little Bighorn” golf club to hit a bucket of balls on the driving range. I got a chance to use my new-to-me clubs that Dad Garrett gave me a few months ago when he upgraded! I like them, and I think the clubs like me back!

Tonight Jess and I are heading to Marion for dinner with Pastor Bill & June Kinnan. They have invited us along with Thomas (worship leader) and his girlfriend, Bethany for dinner at their home tonight. We’re also attempting to hook up with my brother Kory Pence after supper for some coffee at Tree of Life!

Had a great lunch meeting with Dr. Bob Whitesel today.

He was a great encouragement to me today!

Of course I was a bit in shock when he arrived on his Kawasaki Drifter.

When he is in town (he travels a LOT!), he attends Warsaw Wesleyan. We talked a bit about the IWU Master’s program – of which I now have a bit of sparked interest in.

Good times.

Tomorrow it looks like my buddy Glen Robinson is coming up for an afternoon of fellowship!
