Wow? Another interesting day on our journey of life. And I made a big bobo...

Where are we today ?

        The day started off pretty good. Coffees and a walkabout the large Walmart, computing done so thought we would hit the road 7:30 am. Pulled out of Walmart and missed the turn for the interstate, so made a quick turn and thought I could turn around by a bank machine. Oh no, the turn was too tight! Here we were turned sharp a tree in front of us and nowhere to go! Gotta disconnect the car quickly. Got that done backed up a bit (tree behind us) maneuvered around a few times, over a curb, broke our CB antenna on a tree branch, but we got out. Now that was some dumb move I made. Not the first and probably not the last. I was too teed off to take any pics..... of this mess.
        After that mess we hooked the car back up and on the road 1/2 hour later.  Very strong winds today so we kinda played it by ear. Luckily mostly a tail wind again but we could still feel it. Stopped at every rest area to stretch, loosen my arms and away we go . Another upper body workout today. The winds were 32 mph with gusts reported at 57 mph. Only really noticed it badly when we stepped outside, blow us away.
        All in all was a pretty good drive and just sailed right through Indianapolis no problems there and very little traffic.

not much traffic here in Indianapolis
we lucky

thought this was  WATER TOWER?
not sure what it is

love the quiet roads

        Pulled into the Flying J at 2:15 pm , actually 3:15 here Eastern Time zone. Fuel up and once again great gas mileage, 8.25 mpg compared to the normal 7.2. These high tail winds are good for something. The wind was so strong it blew my credit card right out of my hand and I chased it across the lot a couple hundred feet, but did get it then held on tight.

here we are nice and cozy
for the rest of the day and night

this is the Spiceland Water tower 

that sign was hitting the ground because of the wind

       No need to travel anymore today, a few miles down the road we will be heading north and this tail wind will turn into a fierce crosswind, not fun ! Got parked and relaxing here, just watching the weather at least the sun is shining.
       Now have you ever been on a cruise ship in high seas ?  We have, the ship is rolling with the waves and to walk the hallways etc you stagger like a drunken sailer even when sober. Hang onto things so you don't fall down or bump into the walls. That's what this feels like, bonus we can pretend we are on a cruise ship without spending all that money ya think? We have different scenery every day too as well.
        But now after trying to walkabout outside, time for supper. Tonight the rest of our chicken pot pie from last night and a salad hit the spot. Then we can watch the weather and a tv show and be rocked to sleep, Kinda cool!

tasty supper

       The wind is still blowing at 7:30pm and have some snow fluffies. When it clears up in the morning we will hit the road, or not. Our plans are written in jello.
        But ya know soon summer will be here again, hopefully before we know it.

     Thanks for taking a peek at us today, hope you are enjoying yours day too!
