I 10 westbound Before the rain

Florida Springs RV - Bonifay, FL mostly sunny. y, FL 67 degrees. One hundred ninety six miles west on interstate ten. The campground is a little hilly and tight spaces among oaks and pine trees. When I went to disconnect Silver sally the battery was dead, I had forgotten to flip the switch that turns off the electric inside the car. I was able to jump start the car from Busters house batteries. But, the jumper cables are old and the clips are not in good shape so I am replacing them in the event this happens again.

Elks Lodge Brandon, Florida 46 degrees mostly sunny to 67 degrees for the high today and mostly cloudy.

I took silver Sally to the "shoe store" the right rear tread was getting thin. The left rear was replaced in the summer (August) of eleven because of a slow leak, the second time. In July it (left rear) had a leak repaired, twice and that was enough for me to replace the tire. The fronts were replaced in August of twelve. So the left rear is the oldest tire now.

Elks Lodge Brandon, Florida 57 degrees mostly sunny to 81 degrees for the high today and mostly sunny.

 Bonnie and I went to my sister Alice’s for dinner today. A nice drive across the Gandy causeway (US 92) and returned by the interstate 275 (Howard Franklin bridge). It is easer driving over on US 92 as there is construction on the southbound interstate and the merge of I 4 known as "Malfunction Junction". The return on the interstate is better as this construction was completed a few years ago.

Wednesday, January 30, 2013
Elks Lodge Brandon Florida 68 degrees partly sunny to 82 degrees for the high today and partly cloudy. The breeze is up today more than yesterday as a weather front is moving in on us here in Florida. The camp is thinning out as others are leaving there are no new rigs coming in.

It seemed a good day to take Buster for a walk to the dump and emptying the black water tank. I elected to take a different camp site as the back row has emptied out one rig leaving space for Buster that way there is no one parked on our sides. The last rig at our last site was a little noisy and their sitting area out was right under our windows. Although this spot was filled until Sunday it emptied Tuesday and was still empty this morning.
