8am... Gary is warming up the truck, Dean is in the driveway saying goodbye, I am on the phone with Pat making sure Miss Olive is settling in to her new digs at Pat's place.    Finally we pull out of the driveway and head to the Fifth Wheel to get our coffees for the first leg of the trip.  I love the coffee that you get at their little store, not at the coffee counter.  It's madefrom that hot concentrated coffee liquid that is mixed with hot water to make a nice tasty cup of java.  Coffees are settled into the console,  I get settled in my nice warm truck seat, turn on the iPad to read the LFP, and just relax while Gary gets settled into his driving routine.  All this settling doesn't last long though, for the first story of the day is about to occur.    Gary looks down at the dials and notices with dismay that the right front tire pressure is going down.  Twenty-six, twenty-three, twenty pounds... Uh oh... This is not  looking good.  The GPS is consulted, a tire repair centre in Rodney is located, the tire is repaired lickety-split, and we are back on the road again.  Thanks to Xact Auto Service in Rodney for quick and professional service.  The tire had a puncture in it that they repaired with a patch on the inside of the tire.  Well done, guys!  We are back on the road again by 9:45. 


It has been a pretty boring day of driving... which is a good thing, actually.  We pulled into Meijer's in Bowling Green, Ohio to pick up some lunch and beer (non-alcoholic for me).  Then we carried on to our night time stop here in Georgetown, Kentucky.  After a delivered pizza for supper, we both crashed around 8:30 and slept right through.  That was a looooonng day for us old turtles.  We will take it slower today... heading for Decatur, Alabama tonight.... there's bahbahque there!
