Comings and Goings

Yesterday was a whirlwind of activity, in more ways than one. Some machinery left and some arrived.

Then some needed fuel.

Once again, we couldn't even get down the road again for awhile.

When we saw the project managers checking the plans, we were hoping that everything was put in the right place, so that they didn't have to start over!

Luckily the work moved down around the corner in time for me to go to the airport to pick up Dave and Jim. They flew in to DAB to drive the red pick-up back home!

This is the 2004 Ford Sport Trac that we found at the car show when we first arrived here in Daytona this spring. It's quite a step up from our 1993 Ford Ranger. Now I can throw my kayak in the back, put in a CD, turn on the A/C, set the cruise control, and head out to a lake or river. My knee is going to be so relieved, since it is also an automatic and I will no longer have to shift with the stiff clutch. Orignally Dave had it set up to have it shipped back to Glenville, but they just kept putting him off and not giving him a transport date. That's when he and Jim decided it would be quicker and cheaper to fly down and take turns driving it back home. They arrived at 2:30, had a swim in Mom's pool, did a quick system check of the truck, had dinner, and away they went. They will arrive home at about 5 P.M. tonight. This morning it all seemed like a dream, as I'm sure it does for them too!
