New Day New Car

New Day New Car

Wednesday February 3, 2021

We left to go to TTO, from 3 flags to pick up  Brigitte at 9:30 am. We stopped and filled up the gas tank and another quart of oil first. Jim  noticed the car making even more weird loud noises. When we arrived at her cabin in Orlando,  Jim saw this big oil puddle from yesterday. So he got on the phone with budget rental car and found one just a little out of our way, for our day of fun. The rental counter was inside a new hotel lobby, not quite sure if they were open yet. But Brigitte went for a heck of a hike trying to find a bathroom open. 

Jim made the trade in for a new one which was a Mazda SUV. It actually was a little easier for all of us to get in because it didn't sit on the road like the other one.

A really nice deep blue sparkly color. And we have Florida plates now not Ohio. Sorry Ohio not that there's anything wrong with that. We really feel like Floridians though. Here is the oil puddle.

 Jim and I made a quick changeover of all our crap. He got acclimated to the new controls. Tried to get the GPS to work, this one has one, that other car was a no-go, at least he  got the  map running, the other one didn't do anything. 

So we're off to Cracker Barrel for lunch. Brigitte found a new hat she likes is really cute on her. She had breakfast pancakes bacon sausage ham eggs grits scalloped apples oh, man that woman can eat. She did take some home for tomorrow. And so did I. I had fried catfish coleslaw and fries Jim had chicken fried chicken and gravy, they even had the fire going. It was fabulous as usual.

 Then we went to parkesdale farm for strawberry shortcake. 

I wanted some produce zucchini, oranges, and I found some really nice fresh green beans. Bought myself a pair of strawberry earrings, a palm tree keychain for the golf cart, and a trinket for a friend at work.

Today was a lot of driving more comfortable in our new car. Then we headed towards Orlando went to Publix. She wanted to buy more food since we leave soon to go get 2 RV windows fixed and she'll be there a few days alone. After Publix we took her home got her situated. An hour drive back to 3 Flags. We put our stuff away, and crashed at the end of the day.
