Finally Arrived

Ocala, Florida

Weather: low 79 degrees in Bonifay, Florida, high 93 degrees in Ocala, Florida, clear skies

We were still tired when we woke this morning, and didn't get our usual timely departure, as we were slow getting ready to leave Bonifay. Eventually, we got our stuff together and hit the road. It was another good day for traveling, and would have been enjoyable if we hadn't been so tired. As it was, we just hunkered down and made the best of the last 300 miles to Ocala.

We made it to the RV park we're staying in while in Ocala later in the day than we would have liked, but that serves us right for not getting ourselves together in a timely manner this morning. Now that we're traveling more, we're getting faster about setting up the RV, which helps us start relaxing sooner. We always use a checklist to make sure we don't make a mistake, and the list is even more important when we're tired. It was important to use the list today, because I shudder to think what kind of mistakes we could make if we didn't use a reminder.

I was unsuccessful in setting up the satellite dish, and it was probably because I was tired. We have a dish that has to collect the signals from two different satellites, and if I don't do everything right, I might have trouble with getting one of the satellites. After several attempts today, I gave up on it until tomorrow, when I should be more rested.

Once we had rested and cooled off a little, we started getting hungry for some Sonny's bar-b-que, which is probably the best we have had outside Texas. The food was just as good as we expected, and we have enough left for lunch tomorrow. When we got back home, I called my brother Roger and let him know we were in town. We made plans to get together tomorrow evening to do some catch up.

It's going to be a busy week, but we're looking forward to seeing everyone.

More later, be safe.
