After several days of sleep, upon returning from Japan, it was time to pack my bags for a road trip to Florida! One week with my daughter, granddaughter, grandson, sister and brother-in-law, mother-in-law, nieces and great nephews.
As I am rolling down the interstate,to pick up my daughter and grand babies, my "low tire pressure" light comes on. Well isn't that just lovely!? I finish the short leg of the interstate, pick up the kids and head off to a gas station to fill the tire. I plunk $1.00 into an air compressor press the nozzle onto the tire stem to fill it..... hissssss air is letting out of the tire. We look at the nozzle again, read the instruction and proceed to try to fill the tire. Again, the hiss of air escaping. By now we are down to 22psi in the tire. Back into the car and off to "Liberty Bikes" where my son-in-law works. He uses a hand pump to get us enough air to make it to the next station. Hooray, the air is free at the next station and the compressor works.
A stop to fill our bellies with grub at "French Frys" was in order. Grubbed on a yummy "Old Fashion" all the way ( slaw, onions and chili ). Then along with a nice mustard stain on my shirt, we are off down I-26 east toward I-95.
Florida was Florida and all that comes with it. Sun, heat, pool time, Mickey Mouse, beaches, sand everywhere and even a fireball in the sky.
See ya later Florida!
