I arrived back at our place in Tennessee around 6 PM. The trip was uneventful. I plan on staying at least a week this time.
Kathy is in Indianapolis. One of the girls from Teen Challenge is back in the Indy area for a few days and Kathy wanted to see her. She is staying with Doug & Anthony.
One thing that has been interesting during the trips back and forth has been the fuel mileage of my truck. Several trips ago I noted that the mileage seemed to be significantly better than it used to be. I did not check it but figured I was getting at least 1 mpg better than I got a year ago. I have 89,000 miles on the truck now and haven't done any maintenance, other than oil changes for quite some time.
Before coming here the last time I had a cover installed on the truck bed. I think it has had an additional impact on my fuel economy. I checked the fuel mileage during our trip home the last time and averaged over 18 mpg, 2-3 mpg better than I used to get. We drove an average 5 mph over the limit during the trip. Coming here this time I drove 2-3 mph over the limit and averaged 20.05 mpg.
May God bless you and yours.
