Day 13:  Saturday 3/11

Ibis getting breakfast at the front of the camp grounds.

Not much to report on today.  The lake is smoooth today.  We were going to take a cruise over to Salt Springs on the other side of the lake. They say the manatees are in Salt Springs Run right now.  Linda, being the good First Mate she is, checked the weather and radar and realized we would be caught in some very heavy rain before we could get back.  Its only about 11 miles to the springs but the last five miles are restricted to slow speed due to the manatee protection zone which makes it about an hour and a half trip one way.  So it looks like this will be an adventure for another time.

Hey… This looks like a great time for a trip to Dollar General!

 Day 14:  Sunday 3/12

Thanks Brett and Alyssa.

Our Grandson and Grand Girlfriend wanted to get us a house warming gift for out "Teeny" Tiny House. They got us a waffle maker. Today we put it to good use...Chicken and Waffles!

If you ain't tried it ya don't know what your missing.

 


Chow Time!

Our favorite Sunday past time is NASCAR.  We watched the race in Las Vagas and one of our favorite drivers, Martin Truax, won.  The race was a good one with excitement afterward when Bush and Lagono had a boxing match in the pits. 

 Day 15:  Monday3/13          Mid 70’s, overcast with showers.

The laundry chute is full.

Today was a slow day.  We slept in and just kind of chilled.  After all, its laundry day and not really something to get overly excited about.  However, at home, Linda says she likes doing the laundry.  I think she enjoys playing with the machines…turning knobs…pushing buttons, and the folding is kind of an activity you don’t have to concentrate on and you can let your mind wander.  Folding towels becomes folding beach towels and the swish-swish of the washer is the waves crashing on the beach.  (I know, I’m really stretching this; but you get the idea.)

We hit the laundry in Crescent City.  Lesson learned…Never do laundry the day after it rained on the weekend.  It seemed like every lady in Putnam County hit the laundry because you couldn’t dry it on the line at home.  Linda noticed the dryers had several settings.  Cool, warm (cool) hot (cool) volcanic eruption (cool).  It took so long and cost so much (nearly $30) to wash and  dry the clothes (some of which we brought back to the camper damp) we are thinking about starting one of those “fund me “sites on the web! 

We took Big Blue for a bath to get the bugs of the grille…It started raining as soon as we left the car wash.

There is not a ripple on the river or the lake.  Actually this is probably not a bad day for fishing but I’m not big on fishing in the rain.

"Lil Fisherman" is second from the bottom.
