It was 80º at 10:00 this morning as we rolled south towards home. And for fun, Mother Nature tossed some 20+ mph winds (out of the south, of course) at us. It drove our mileage below 8 mpg. Fortunately, the truck and HitchHiker have good road manners, even in gusty wind conditions.
It got to a high of 88º as we drove south. And humid.
We rolled onto our island shortly after 2:00; dropped the cargo trailer in the parking lot, parked the 5th wheel, then came back for the cargo trailer. Then, the unloading. "Only" 82º at home, and not quite as humid, with a sea breeze. Still sweated it up plenty carting stuff from the 5th wheel to the house.
By 5:00, everything was unloaded and put away. Someone is going to have to clean the exterior of the HitchHiker, because bugs like to be out when it's in the 80s. And, apparently, they enjoy splattering themselves on the newly-waxed front cap.
Which bring up the question:
What is the last thing that goes through a bug's mind when it hits the windshield?
Answer: His ass.
I saw a Pizza Hut commercial before we left this morning - and suggested that for supper tonight (the power of advertising). And on the way to pick up the pizza, this sunset...
Seems to be saying: "Welcome back to the Tropical Tip." :-)
