We had a false wakeup when Libbie alarm went off at 12:05 instead of 4:05. It
was not on Alaskan time. We got the correct wake up at 4:05 AM, 4 hours later on
her cell phone. It was raining and dark out when we left for the airport at
4:33 AM. Got there before 5 and dropped the keys into the bin. The airport is
tiny and did not have TSA Pre. They gave us a blue card to use so we didn't
have ot remove hour shoes. We got off on time and had a very smooth flight on
time into Seattle but faced a 3 hour layover. Picked up a very expensive 2
biscuits and 2 coffees for $14. at McDonalds in the airport. Wow.
we had a 3 hour layover in Seattle which is not a bad airport. We got some
seats with power outlets and hung around until it was time to load our plane for
the 3 hour flight to Minneapolis. We had a young college student between us,
Ann, who was flying from her parents assignment in China. She was going to her
boyfriends family in Charlotte before returning to school Aug 29 in Alabama.
In Minneapolis we bought a sandwich and chips for dinner and then boarded a very
cramped flight to RDU. The plane is an MD88 with 3 and 2 seating. We were on
the 2 side with uncomfortable seats for the 2 1/2 hour flight. We got in 10
minutes early and began the drive home which was easy. It cost $133 for
parking. our car once again was first to be dropped of by the Relax and Park.
We got home and found the cable modem was totally dead. It doesn't even light
up. The violet tower watering is also toast. It won't reboot when i tried it.
The great news is the moteinos running the fans worked great. The back room is
circulating and also the foundation fan circulated.
I need to do something to improve the water controllers for the tower and the
outdoor sprinkler.
