We stopped at Dad's Junction Cafe, near New Florence, Mo, for lunch. We had eaten there once before when we camped in the area. I had one of their tenderloins then, and another one today. It fills the entire plate and it is not a thin piece of meat. Kathy says it is at least a pound of meat. It is really a meal for two. I did manage to eat half of it and brought the other half home with me.
Parked at home and partially unloaded. Got most of the stuff in the house.
I was going to wait until tomorrow or Thursday to fire up our Hardy boiler. It is supposed to rain all day tomorrow, with a high of 37 degrees. Kathy said I might want to get it going while it was still light today, and while it wasn't raining. It was a good idea. By the time I got things going it was raining and 39 degrees (37 now). I have a few things that might need some "tweaking" tomorrow, but nothing major.
We drove 3,006 miles while we were gone. We averaged 10.7 mpg during the trip. We filled up this morning in Mt. Vernon at a Huck's station. While filling up I noticed that it was biodiesel. My truck does not like biodiesel. I found that out a couple of years ago when we were out west. My fuel mileage dropped every time I filled it with biodiesel. No different today. We paid $3.219 for the biodiesel, the most expensive fuel we purchased during the entire trip, and averaged 9/0 mpg, the worst fuel mileage of the entire trip.
It is good to be home. We praise the Lord for our safety.
God is good. May He bless you and yours.
