Tue - Mar 6/18

Repeat of yesterday's weather, clear and sunny with an increase to 80 F.

The next few days will mostly be tying up loose ends for packing and organizing for travel home. Charlotte did a "Spotless" job of the bathroom and organized it for departure. We made a run to the dumpster and may need a few more in the days to come.

I called Nick (in Canada) this morning. He didn't realize the item he wanted from Harbor Freight was over 300 pounds. There is no way we could get it into the motorhome or car. I will check out another item and see if it is small enough to fit somewhere/anywhere.

Martha (Quilter Extraordinaire) stopped in to check with Charlotte about an upcoming project (next year). She will keep Charlotte up to date on pre-project requirements. She left with "Gertrude", a nice green "bundle of leaves", that resided on our table while we were here in Florida. We can't take plants home to Canada. Martha updated us on the plant she adopted last year. It was thriving and had to be re-potted twice... We are glad "Gertrude" will have a good home.

We would be going back to Harbor Freight to pick up a "Tubing Roller" and few other items around 4 p.m. I had to find a spot for the oil and filters I bought at Advance Auto Parts yesterday and took them out of the trunk. I needed the room for our new purchases.

On the way to Harbor Freight I made a repeat stop at Advance Auto Parts (SR-19 @ CR-44) with the AC Delco number (PF932F) for the 2 Quart Oil Filter for the 8.1 (496 Cu. In.) V-8 motor in the RV. They couldn't find a reference for the 2 Qt. filter yesterday. I also gave them a WIX (57398) number to cross-reference for the oil filter on the ONAN Quiet 5500 Generator on the RV. They found both; but they were at another store. They would have them shipped in from the Leesburg store for pickup later today.

The next stop, at Harbor Freight, resulted in picking up the Tubing Roller and other items from my list.

Then it was back on US-441 to Chili's for our last fix of Tex-Mex. My parking spot awaited. It was my last chance for Chilis "Texas Cheese Fries" this Snowbird Season. Charlotte decided on the Caribbean Salad. We both enjoyed our choices immensely.

Meanwhile, back at Advance Auto Parts, I was able to pick up the filters. Note: The 1 tiny filter (for the ONAN) which was 1/3 the size of the other two filters, cost more than the 2 large filters combined.

Once again, we made it back to the RV in time for the Evening News and Jeopardy and our NCIS (2 shows) and Bull.

Finally, after checking the weather, we think we will be leaving early (Friday) for our trip home.
