Dump Station and the Milk Run

Warning, if you have a weak heart you might want to stop reading as this blog may be too exciting for you. Most of it is true.

The three Corps park along the Caloosahatchee river have the most sought after sites in Fl. They are large sites with great views and are immaculately maintained. The sites have water and electric but no sewage connection, they have a dump station you have to move to to empty your waste tanks. They have buildings with showers, toilets and washers and dryers, also first class, many folks use these facilities because they don't want their tanks to fill and have to move and dump. However my co-pilot won't use these facilities for fear of getting the bubonic plague, trench foot and Alzheimer's, so we use our own rv facilities, since she can't manage the rv by herself she won't let me use the park facilities for fear of me succumbing to one of these horrible diseases. We can go about 3 days before we have to empty, really no problem since we get out at least that often, go by the station, empty in about 5 minutes and are on our way. Have to confess, much nicer and handier to use our own.

Needed a gallon of milk yesterday, that's all. Went in to Cape Coral, had lunch at Pollo Tropical, on the way back ran across a BJ's where we stopped for milk. Made the mistake of taking a shopping cart in, stuff started filling up the cart and BJ's don't have small packages, half gallon of strawberries, large bag of oranges, Nita was putting in a box of a dozen monster muffins, convinced her we didn't have room or could eat that many, won that argument, lost some others. Nita has a collection of valentine cards sent to her by her grade school friends when Lincoln was president, no, think was FDR, anyway she got a pack of valentine cards, lost that one. Left with a full cart and topped it off with a bottle of single malt Scotch. So stop by, we can wine and dine you by the river.




Nita about to levitate in her zero gravity chair enjoying her new book on Kennedy. I'm starting my 3rd Jack Reacher book, tough guy.

  1. If I didn't know better, Clint, would think I was reading Mark Twain.

    Keep it up!
