Keeping busy in Webster!!

 Wednesday 4 January 2023

     In case you forgot last night Rudy puked in the bed.  Today Diane spent the day at the laundromat doing all the bedding.  That took all morning and most of the money she won at bingo Monday night. She won almost 90 bucks her first night playing, not too bad.  Another hot day today (not complaining) it rained on and off all morning I worked on the blog and even managed to replace the water filter in the refrigerator.

    Over to Clermont this morning for Diane to apply for a TSA preapproved pass.  It is amazing how

much construction (housing) is going on just everywhere you look, places with 15/20 three story buildings all under construction at once.  Anyway, Diane found us a nice restaurant, the Tiki West Bar and Grill. The building could use some maintenance, but the food was good.  I ordered the 1lb steamed shrimp with old bay (surprise I know) and Diane ordered the shrimp tacos they were really good. I had to bring half my shrimp home. We stopped at a small RV dealer to look around it didn't take long they only had two coaches.  It took all day with the drive, lunch, TSA stop, RV dealer and traffic we didn't get home until 5:00.  Salad for diner with shrimp (shrimp twice in one day).

   Cool this morning 55 degrees.  After breakfast I started working on the truck bed. Over the years dirt collected in the bed rug and I guess it was deer blood that soaked into the material, but it stank something terrible.  I couldn't close the bed cover is just smelled to bad. So, my plan was to remove and replace bed rug.  It didn't take but an hour to remove the rug but then I looked under the plastic bed liner only to see more debris caked in the corners and even some paper towels, I'm guessing from when it was installed.  Meanwhile we have lunch and Diane goes up to play Po-Ken-No. I watched a short YouTube video, got more tools out and ripped out the bed liner. It wasn't that hard, but the size made it difficult to maneuver around and get it on the ground without falling out of the truck. The nice thing about being in a campground of old guys, no one even flinches when they see an old guy with a wrench stumbling around a truck. 

A visit to Shawna!

    By the time Diane returned I was done. We cleaned the place up and headed to the cemetery via the dumpster to throw out bed liner.  It wasn't graceful but after backing up to the dumpster I got on the tail gate and with Diane's help we flipped it in without going in also. After the visit to the cemetery, we checked out a couple of restaurants, both permanently closed.  Back to the Moho and baked fish for diner.

   Cold this morning 42 degrees. The nice thing with cool mornings in Florida is once the sun comes up it warms up quick.  By the time breakfast was over it was almost 60 so I decided to wash the truck.  It took us most of day. The amount of dirt under the bed liner was unbelievable.  I thought the bed would be pristine after being covered with bed liner and bed rug, well not so much. I guess the road dirt and dust just collected under the liner for the last 6 years. We finally wore out and called it quits for the day.  The truck is looking good inside cleaned up and now the outside all washed.  

Instead of making dinner we decided to head into Webster to check out this interesting looking place and try their Cubans.  It was entertaining to say the least  

They use the bottle 
tops as you tab!!

Sunday 8 January

   I was out drying the dew off the truck; seems the campground water left it terrible spotted.  That seemed to work, looks pretty good now.  Len came over for breakfast at 9:15, he was supposed to be here at 9:00 but says he didn't remember 9am being so early on the weekends.  We had a really nice chat and breakfast.  It was cool this morning but warm enough to sit outside and eat.
   It was almost lunch time until Len went home.  We cleaned up dishes and Diane did a load of

laundry. Around 2:00 we decided to go for a walk/bike ride. You know how it goes. I had to get my tools put the bike rack on the truck, air up bike tires and load up the bike.  We get in the truck and I'm out of gas, so we have to go the long way around. It was almost 3:30 by the time we pull into the Van Fleet trailhead. The good news being so late the temperature had dropped a bit and the ride was good, not to hot not to cold. Felt good to get some exercise. 
  Back to the Moho just burgers for dinner and a nice walk for Rudy
