I woke up about 7 and dozed until 7:45. Then it was up for breakfast. There were two big thunderstorms last night, so I didn't get quality sleep last night.
With breakfast over it was time to hook up. There was one small problem. I didn't have Ellen dock the Starlink before I took it down. Oh well. We left the park about 9:15.
Most of the trip was on state highways with short jaunts on county roads. Most of them were pretty rough. There weren't many curves though. Instead there were a lot of hills. It was a relief to get to I 10.
Mileage sucked and the EGT's were really high. I was worried until Ellen looked it up. We had a 20 mph head wind all day.
We got to the park a little before 2. The truck went into regen as we were driving the 5 miles into town. I decided to drive up and down the highway until it was finished. We were driving into town with the regen almost finished when the low fuel alert went on. I'd thought we had plenty. I immediately stopped and put in 10 gallons at the net station ($4/gal). Then we went on to Wally World and filled up the rest of the way with $3.49 fuel.
We ended up putting 35 gallons in. That meant that there was only 4 gallons in the tank when the alarm went off. At 9 mpg that's only 36 miles. No wonder it went off. After fueling up we went home.
I sat down and watched videos. Amazingly I didn't fall asleep.
Ellen refused to make dinner, so I ended up with a frozen one. I wasn't particularly happy about that. After dinner was surfing.
