Awake: 5:21am Temp 50 sleep 5+45 cloudy overnight @ Newell campsite.
While talking to Sam this morning in his office, our Alpine GPS navigation
unit for our motorhome arrived via UPS from Long Beach, CA. I waste no
time in reinstalling the unit in our overhead compartment but, due to a
lack of proper tools, it takes over an hr to do this. Without driving our
coach down the road, the Alpine appears to be working just fine again &
soon this system can help us decide which way to go.
About 2:15pm, Kyle, the driver, takes our coach into bay # 8. James has
been assigned to install the power pulse system to our AGM batteries. It’s
a fairly simple procedure & shouldn’t take long.
Meanwhile, K & I take a 1.5 hr walk for exercise over near the Miami
Municipal airport to a subdivision called: Green Acres. We think most of
the homes built in this area are due to the aviation training base
established during WWII. When we return to Newell, our bus is ready to be
taken back to our outside parking site.
6:40 dinner: Leftover stew with veggies, whole-wheat noodles, fresh mixed
salad & toast.
Kathy watches her “Dancing with the Stars” program while I wash & dry the
dishes.
Late evening satellite movie: “Remains of the Day” with Anthony Hopkins,
Emma Thompson, James Fox, Christopher Reeve, Peter Vaughan, Hugh Grant,
etc. Hopkins is a self-sacrificing butler who serves with the utmost
discretion & Thompson, an efficient & bright head housekeeper. The 2
collide over work…….especially over overtures of romance. Looming over
these personal stories is the fascinating larger tale of the misguided
Lord of the manor (Fox), who is excitedly making alliances with the Nazi
sympathizers. 1993. We liked this story which was so unpredictable,
especially in the romantic segments. For this, I highly recommend a large
bowl of popcorn & a most comfortable chair.
