Saturday was a really busy (and long) day. We left Palmdale at 6AM and headed over to Cape Coral to pick through some glass being offered up by a very fine Gentleman by the name of Herb. I was able to replace almost all of the glass that was destroyed on Friday morning, and Sherry picked up a load of Bullseye fusible. All and all worth the trip. On the way through Ft. Myers we stopped by North RV to check out a used Work&Play. Not what we were looking for, but the salesperson, Laura was very helpful. Next stop was the Lee Civic Center to walk through the Sun Coast Gun Show. We have been shopping for a Taurus Judge 410ga./45 cal. revolver and we found two at the show, one the Public Defender (2" Barrel) in Stainless, and the other a 3" Barrel, blued. Two very nice pieces! We returned to Palmdale, planted our tomatoes, closed down the studio and the house and packed for the trip home. Nancy Prevatt delivered three cakes for delivery to Jess to sample. Nancy really does a nice job, and worked really really hard on these wedding cake samples with three different types and two separate icings. She is a good kid!

1:30AM we are up and rolling and out the door by 2:20AM. We had rain all of the way. Gas was anywhere from a high of $2.62 to a low of $2.35. Traffic was light most of the way. Sherry slept until we were deep into Georiga (about 7:30). The trip was uneventful, and generally good. We arrived in Abell at 5:10PM. 14 hrs. 50 mins. ! Best time ever! The KIA really kicked as I ran between 70 and 80mph all the way. Gas mileage work out to between a high of 32mpg and a low of 27mpg. Mileage really dropped in heavy traffic, with all of the acceleration / deceleration.

We unloaded most of the glass supplies, turned up the heat, and settled in for a night by the heater. It is cold! 40F. That's hard after leaving 75F this morning.
