Trying something a little different this trip.


Trying something a little different this trip

Well, we're going to try something a little different this trip. I'm going add a link to a map below that will let you see where we are when you click on the link. I just have to remember to start the tracking app for this to work. Check back to see if it works for you and let us know. If it doesn't, I'll delete this post. If I've forgot to start the app all you will get is the blank blue screen. If I remember to start it up you should see a map with one red marker showing our present location. Click "Show Route" and you should see several little red dots showing our route from where we started to our present location. Mouse over the red dots and it should tell you the time and speed we're traveling and some other info like latitude & longitude. You can zoom in and see exactly where we are on the road. It updates every 30 seconds, but you might have to refresh your browser if the route disconnects for some reason. You can view in Map View or Satellite View. For some reason the buttons for show/hide route won't show on an IPad. When you first go to the page it takes a little while for the route to show.

Visiting the Tennessee Snow Birds

I said last night I'd post pictures of our new windscreen so, before leaving this morning, I snapped a couple of shots to show the difference. The new one is 2" shorter than the one in the pics posted last night. It feels kind of odd looking over the windscreen after being behind a Tulsa Tall for some 200,000 miles, but so far I really like this windscreen. Only time will tell about the rain protection, but I like the adjustibility (is that really a word?  Sounds good, anyway! LOL


We left Zephyrhills at 10:45, headed for Sebring/Avon Park/Lake Placid to visit our friends from Chapter M that winter down here. We arrived at Glen & Sharon Bush's around 2:30, & Bob & Marty Shields were already there. We sat around for about an hour & a half catching up on what had been going on with everybody, then headed out to the Golden Corral to meet up with Rick & Cindy Valentine for dinner and a little more catching up on the happenings. Cindy's mother, Margaret, came with them, so it was a pleasure meeting her, also. After eating, it was time for Pam & I to hit the road so we could get back to our motel before night fall and all the critters started to prowl.


On the way back, we passed an orange & grapefruit processing plant that we thought was kinda' neat so we took a couple of pics before the Security Guard ran us off. We couldn't figure out what was so secretive about orange & grapefruit processing, but there must be for some reason.  I can truthfully say I have never been run out of a citrus plant before!  LOL


Well that's all for tonight so it's time to say nighty night again!!

My legal assistant  / spell checker / punctuation corrector hard at work. Thank you honey!!
