So when we pulled into Stafford last week, the heat index was at 105. It
cooled off, it's back up there again! And now the heat index is 110...Thank you
kids for coming by...Alright!Thanks for all the help! You're welcome...Love you!... Love you to!...
Alright! Thank You Ben.... Have a good one buddy! Nice seeing you Steve!... You're
welcome...Let's do this! Whoo yeah!...Getting the air conditioning....
While we're getting a little bit of a later start than we expected because...
The UPS guy didn't show up till like 5 o'clock...But
given how we plan on driving this, the next few days...It really didn't matter
what time we left so we'll just drive till were tired!
Dad and I actually had a lot of fun today....We made ice cream and
Texas Sheet Cake, a recipe from each of my grandma's...
And had friends over for ice cream before we left! So it
ended up being a fun day! And...It's kind of nice to be able to drive in the
evening anyway so....We're on our way... I have no idea where our first stop will
be! But we're headed for Maine...So we need to
give you a little bit of an explanation of why we are heading to Maine! We
thought we would hit the Upper Peninsula od Michigan and hangout there... But you know...
It's taken a while to get to this point! It's the end of August and it's hot
still! And we just figured let's head up to the Northeast! We were gonna head
there anyways....Let's just get up there so we can thoroughly enjoy the area. And as
for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, it'll still be there when we get back!
And we need to save awesome places to visit when we get back to North America.
Because we're gonna keep on traveling so... That's the deal! The trip we talked about
maybe taking our time and doing two three hundred miles a day a deal... But in
reality with this heat and for Shelby's benefit considering the medicine that
she's on makes her thermostat run high!
We're just gonna make a beeline up to Maine and get to lock cooler
temperatures!.... It's hard on all of us!
Exactly but given the fact that we can't leave Shelby in the car...We always have
to be bouncing from air-conditioning to air-conditioning...
She doesn't even enjoy going out to go potty in this stuff... I think it's just in
everybody's best interest if we get on up to a cooler climate!
And ahhhh..So instead of taking up like what we can have to do this drive... We're probably
going to bust it out in a handful of days!... We have been hitting all kinds
on this stretch road and incase you're wondering what they are....
I now have confirmation! Bye-bye.....Alright a quick fuel stop and...
Opportunity to stretch the legs! We are in Emporia, Kansas area. I'm not quite
exactly sure but we just paid 2.92 a gallon for diesel....It's also dinner time
for a spoiled rotten little dog!....Hey guys you see that light flashing a little bit
in the bottom right corner....
Hey guys you see that light flashing...So the light is definitely not coming on
solid! We typed it into Google....We have the DVD shop manual in back but...We
typed it into Google and looks like we're not the only people who have ever
had a condition like this... You know, you got tons of vehicles...And some people
have said that it could just be that the coolant is a little bit low!
Which I kind of keep an eye on the coolant but hey!...You know...
I'll check in here...Ahh...It can also be the coolant level sensor. I don't know! I'm just thinking....
We're gonna probably call it an early night and give me
the opportunity to do a little more research and plug in my scans... But it is
not stable and solid but...It's just kind life on the road. You got to let the road
dictate how far you can make it!... Well it's not
the first time we've said this but.... 'Welcome to a Walmart!" We are pulling in
for the night because it feels like the right thing to do.... And it will give me
the opportunity to check some things out...But before I go too far....Let me look
at the coolant bottle real quick!...Well I wouldn't say it's the coolant level
because there's the full mark...Right there....Well even without the hot water
going through the pipes back here, it is 88 right now! Time to cool it off!
Alright guys! That's all we have for you today.... I'll have some more for you
tomorrow on that whole light thing....Not really stressing it too much! It's just
the way it goes.... One nice thing about these Walmart stops...
Is we're able to take Shelby on a little Walmart walk!..Hashtag roadlife....Yeah she likes it! We like
it! Everybody needs it....Especially when you're logging some miles. But...Thanks for
riding with us today, we'll see you tomorrow!
