Back to Palm Coast

Sunday Dec 30 thru Wednesday Jan 2

On the way back to Florida we paid a visit to a pair of Valpo friends. (Bill was the Plate Mill Superintendent at Inland Steel and Dee was in the personnel department. Bill and Dee retired 10 or more years ago and moved to Gulf Shores, AL about the same time Deidre and I moved to Scottsdale. We had kept in touch but had not crossed paths in 12  or so years.) When they heard we would be "passing their door" on the way to/from Houston they invited us to stay. We stayed two nights and had great fun catching up on all the news. I find it interesting that neither of them had aged a minute.

We were back on the boat by 6 PM Saturday. Sunday we did the shopping because the rental car was to be returned Monday. We were planning to leave Palm Coast on News Year's Day but were we expecting a package Monday that was delayed till Wednesday.

Head in the Electro Scan again

This gave me a chance to get on with some jobs. I had our new compass to install and wanted to try a few more fiddles with the Electro Scan. The new compass looks smart, the sanitation system is still kaput.
