We woke up at 7, had breakfast, hooked up, and left. The first 60 miles of the trip were a pain. We were driving due east just as the sun rose. I had to hold my hand up to block the sun's reflection on the hood.
Eventually the sun rose enough to turn the trip into a normal boring west Texas drive. We listened to more podcasts. Some were pretty good, and others not so much.
We were going 314 miles today. Unfortunately we didn't get stellar mileage. Part of the reason was a regen. That meant that we had to stop inn Kerrville for 10 gallons.
One worrisome thing. The CTS isn't reporting the input air temperature or the engine loading anymore. The temperature is stuck at 108 (not even close), and the loading never moves off 0. I'm not sure whether this is an engine problem or a CTS problem. The truck seems to run fine.
We had to deal with a short delay at the 1604 exit, but it wasn't bad. They've completed widening 1604, so it moves a lot better. We got to the park about 2. We unhooked and then went to the club.
We took Abby and she walked around with us. Of course people wanted to pet her and talk about her. We walked all along vendor's row and got our signature sheet filled out. Ellen wants some new lenses, but there's very few available because Pilla has discontinued them. I got a t-shirt.
We stopped for shave ice before we went home. It's really hot and humid here. We're not used to it. We met a lady from Capitol City. She was going to run her dog, so we let it run with Abby. They had a good time.
We stopped at Wally World on the way home and I bought DEF and stuff for dinner. We got home after 6. Ellen fixed dinner and then we started watching videos. That turned into a nap until 8. When I woke up I sorted through all of the stuff in the goody bags. Then I took a shower and went to bed.
We have to drive to San Marcos tomorrow to vote. It's 60 miles one way.
