There was high thin layer of clouds today, but enough sun passed through to allow the temperature to climb to the mid nineties. The wind strength has come down a little from the last couple of days.

Even though I got a decent sleep last night, I seemed to doze off every time I sat down for more than a couple of minutes. Perhaps yesterday’s visit to Disney’s Magic Kingdom in the late day heat zapped me more than I knew. This turned into a day of recovery.

I made one errand run to Walmart. Today wasn’t for grocery shopping. I was on a singular mission to buy holding tank treatment for my black holding tank. It supposed to help break down the contents of the tank, but more important to me in the hot weather, it has an element of deodorant. To keep the tank from retaining too much crud, I don’t dump the tank until it is at least half full. Right now, I’m on a weekly schedule for dumping the tanks.

Of course, I couldn’t go to Walmart without picking up some groceries. The good news is they were stocking the bottled water shelves. I was able to restock my supplies. On the bad news side of the equation, the price of Walmart brand orange juice from concentrate in gallon containers has gone up again. It is now $8.28 a gallon. When I switch to this “generic” brand about 8 years ago it was because the name brand had gone up over $5 a gallon. Walmart’s brand at that time was in the four dollar range. Orange juice is clearly not one of the things that Walmart has a “roll back” sticker on the price tag.
