Awake: 7:22am Temp 72 sleep 7+39 rain, heavy @ times overnight @ Bushnell, FL.

Kathy does (1) load of laundry & then we discuss which way would be more economical for us to dry the clothes: use our own dryer & pay for the electricity or dry them @ the campground laundry. Seconds later, we choose using our own dryer & record the wattage usage afterwards. We recorded (5) KW @ 11 cents per KW costing 55 cents. Using the campground laundry would have cost at least $1.00 (.08 for 25 min) or more.

I bring in our suitcases in anticipation of getting a head start on packing. Then I check out the Suzuki: add oil, add a little coolant, add some windshield cleaner, check fan belt, add a little water to battery & check the tire pressure. Kathy washed the windows all around inside & out, the tail & head lights, & the dashboard & console.

Mid afternoon, using our atlas, I plot our intended route north; suggesting max miles for a day’s travel, overnight stays & approx arrival time.

Late afternoon, I call a 1st cousin who lives in Inverness, FL & ask if we could pay her and her family a visit tomorrow? Anna Mae tells me: “it’s going to be a busy day but come on over.”

Dinner: leftover stuffed pepper, spinach salad & pita chips.

Late DVR movie: “To Be or Not To Be” with Jack Benny, Carole Lombard, Robert Stack, Lionel Atwill, Felix Bressart, etc. Benny has the role of a lifetime as “that great, great actor” Joseph Tura, whose Polish theater troupe is put out of business by invading Nazis….until they become involved in espionage & find their thespian skills being put to the ultimate test. Lombard’s final film, released after her death by plane crash. 1942. Very funny; add it to your watch list.

Lights out: 12:14am
