Up at the normal time and started packing the kitchen. Watched GMA and waited for 8 AM to avoid Tampa traffic. Took all the icemaker ice and put it in a kitchen garbage bag and tied it at the end for my ice chest. Filled the thermos and put the ice chest with fruit in the front seat and got going at 8:21. Up around Tampa it was raining so hard I could hardly see in front of me. When I got to I-4 I decided to go East immediateley to try to get out from under the rain. It worked, the drive was good and the sky was blue and sunny. Had a problem at Disney World. all lanes were stop and go due to an accident in the left lane. Once clear of that it was flying all the way. Did a rest stop before Jacksonville and a gas stop around Brunswick. Hit heavy downpours of rain once again in Brunswick where I couldn't see in front of me. A few miles of this and it cleared permanently. The temp hit an even 100 in Manning, SC and stayed there for several miles or about an hour. Next tank of gas was at a BP around Florence where I paid too much. Pilot across the street was cheaper since they don't have a surcharge but I was staying away fromPilot. Got home at 7:45 without any problem. Bought a rotisserie chicken in Kroger along with baked beans and potato salad for dinner.
