Awake: 7:10am Temp 46 sleep 6+28 mostly cloudy & breezy overnight @ For Lauderdale, FL.
After some morning computer time, we motor in the Suzuki to the Headhunter Factory nearby in Fort Lauderdale. One of the plastic bolts on our Royal Flush toilet lid has been tightened too many times & now the philips head is worn out. I took a chance by visiting the company in hopes they might have replacement plastic bolts; and they did @ no charge. This company is located near the International Airport so I can't help but wander around & gaze @ a few FedEx aircraft on the tarmac & other private jets & commercial carriers.
From here, we drive downtown Fort Lauderdale to the River Walk area, spending about 1.5 hrs walking & staring @ more docked yachts in the Inner Coastal Waterway thru downtown. We share a 20 oz Newcastle beer @ the Briny Riverfront Bar & Restaurant & then....we each have a big fresh slice of Pizza @ the Las Olas Riverfront Pizza about (100) ft away. After that yummy pause, we do an auto grid pattern to see more of downtown Fort Lauderdale; then return to our campsite.
Shortly after we arrive, Zack calls with Camry questions about what preventive maintenance repairs are reasonable to have done on his car. I agree to peruse his e-mail & respond accordingly after tonight's movie.
Evening movie: "Mogambo" with Clark Gable, Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Donald Sinden, Philip Stainton, Eric Pohlmann, etc. Lusty remake of Red Dust. Romantic triangle in Africa combines love & action; beautifully filmed by Robert Surtees & Freddie Young. 1953. We did not see Red Dust, but this movie is rated as good as the 1932 movie, and, in addition, it is in color. We enjoyed the story as well as seeing so many of the wild animals in Africa.
It takes close to an hr for me to seriously go through all the proper preventive maintenance items that are considered to be done to Zack's Camry. Due to the fact that he has done so little maintenance since buying this 1995 car, I had to mull over more on the list than one would do to a continually maintained car. I sincerely hope my choices are of the right stuff.
Lights out: 1:03am
