Up this morning at 4:30. Got dressed and suitcase in the car, we were on the road by 5 AM. Got to PVD at 5:30 with no traffic. Southwest counter in the airport was empty as well as TSA. Saw the huge line at the crappy Dunkin Donuts and walked back to the terminal where I found a Starbucks with no line at all. Bought a medium coffee and went to gate 21 which is at the end of the concourse and waited. It was a very smooth flight to BWI. Picked up an egg McMuffin and coffee and ate it in the food court. Went to gate B02 and took a seat facing the main concourse where I could read my book and watch scantily clad women. It was nice to be back in the South with short shorts and tank tops. I'm really enjoying the Path between the Seas book about finding a path between the two oceans across Central America. Famous travel writers and explorers who have never been to Central America have more say in the path to take for a canal then cold scientific facts. Running the Panama Railroad was the first step since it revealed the vast amount of money available people and companies were willing to pay to cross the continent. The flight from BWI had some pretty rough bumps somewhere in VA then the whole descent into Raleigh was bumpy as we went through many layers of clouds. At the airport I was the only one in the Park N Relax van to the parking lot. I had to buy gas at Sheetz since my gas light was on. We dropped it off last week on empty. I stopped into Best Buy and got a price match on the Frigidaire Dehumidifier. When I got home I was a little disappointed there were no back issue of the WSJ on the driveway. Larry must have taken them. he did move the garbage cans which was a plus. I had to go out to home Depot to get a garden hose for the dehumidifier drain. I have it emptying into the sump which is where I found the first problem, the coupling on the Sump output was spraying water. This thing is not supposed to have more than 5 PSI. It was never meant for pressurized pipes. The humidity is doing a fabulous job in removing moisture. It dropped the humidity 20% in a few hours from 81 to 61. I'll leave it run on continuous for a few days. The next problem I found was the butterfly valve is damaged with caulk which is stopping the valve from opening and thus conditioned air is not going into the crawl space. Dinner and lunch today is the beginning of my reduced eating. I had a plum and some grapes for lunch. Dinner was the freebee Ramen noodles, a bag of Southwest peanuts and a bowl of shredded wheat with milk. I hope this can hold me until morning.
