Today, the focus of my activities was getting the car repaired. My plan to get an early start didn’t happen. This campground is dark and quiet. I didn’t wake up until almost 8AM. After a quick breakfast with coffee, I was on the road around 9AM.

My day started at the Honda dealer.

I didn’t have an appointment at the Honda dealer. My hope was that with all their extended hours, they could fit me in. At the very least I needed confirmation that I wasn’t hearing things and an appointment. My luck held, they were able to work on the car today. Four hours after they took the car, I had the diagnoses. The air conditioner clutch was broken causing causing the engine to rev and creating the symptom of a lot of noise. At seven this evening I had a repaired car and about a grand less money. Other than tires this is the first significant repair in 5 years. I have nothing to complain about.

While the car was getting repaired, I tried to work on stuff at the house. Between concern about the car and the heat and humidity, I didn’t get much done. Only a few minutes of work and I was dripping. Thank goodness for the shower.

After I got the car back I still had errands to complete. The larder was bare. I stopped at grocery store on the way back to the RV to re-provision. In addition to basics like bread and milk, I picked up a cooked chicken for a late supper. Of course that meant I had to cook the stuff to go with the chicken when I got back to my hot RV.

It is only now, at 10:30, that I have slowed down enough to write this blog. My RV home has cooled off to a tolerable temperature. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get a good nights sleep. I have many more tasks to complete.
