Day 6 - 1st night in Prius, Disc Golf, Plumbing

In review of my first night in the Prius, it went well but could be better.

I slept fine and that is very good news.  Not having a comfortable place to sleep is a real game changer.  The fridge ran on and off all night and I barely noticed and since it is at my feet I didn't wake from it running.  This was also good news as I had not tried sleeping with it on.  

First problem I have is that I need to do a better job of prepping for the next days clothing.  The clothing is under the bed platform and what I need to do is get tomorrow's clothing out before it gets dark and I go to bed.  Much easier than trying to do it in the am.

Another problem I have is that no matter how much planning I did I still think I brought too much and I will need to evaluate what I have and what I use with an eye for a possible shipment home.

I also don't remember where I put everything.  I have a two level trunk that I store things in both. I have things in bags.  I will need to tag the bags as to what they generally are.  Also little things end up in small spaces to save space.

With a good nights sleep I was good to go and head out for my am McDonalds stop for unsweetened iced tea and downloads using att wifi they have there. I also did some college course work for the class I am teaching.

It warmed nicely today to 75 with bright sun so I decided to play disc golf.


I played this course before and did ok.  I need to get some more practice to get into better shape.

When I was done playing I worked a project at home to get a quote on for window replacements on a friend's house, and I posted about the Rius trip down.  

I tried making tea in my water bottle at the park.


Tea bag and bottle of water in the sun and you get sun pomegranate tea.  Put that over the left over ice from my morning tea and I got some good home made iced tea.

I then needed to go to Ace Hardware for a toilet filler tube that goes in the tank for my aunts trailer.  The toilet has been leaking for weeks.

After that I was ready for another iced tea and some updates to my apps on my iPhone & iPad at McDonalds.  

Then back to the trailer to fix the toilet before dinner that my aunt made. Pot roast, red cabbage, mashed Potatoes, & greenbeans.  Mom had some store bought sweet bread.  

Not a bad day in sunny Florida.

At day's end I noticed my Prius was hit by a bumper that dragged from the front passenger door to the rear passenger door.  It was oh so light a run that I don't see a dent but a got a scuff search the width of a bumper.  Must have been a parking lot today.  Err!

This scuff goes with the chip in the windshield I got yesterday on I95 in Georgia.  I hope that my vehicle damage is over now for the rest of my trip.
