Fuel Filter Change

I am sitting at Bay 3 at Petro Truck Stop in Florence, SC getting a fuel filter changed. It is so plugged up the filter sight glass is full of fuel instead of only showing about two inches.

Yesterday we went to West Union, SC to get Joe's truck. His other one and my two are in Florence, a little over 200 miles away. In West Union the people at Johnson Controls didn't know where the truck was and didn't want to sign it out when we were ready to leave. Once Joe found the truck it didn't start. He put jumper cables from our pickup to the truck and we listened to a book for about an hour while the batteries charged enough to start.

On the way to Florence it was so hot and humid the air conditioning in the pickup struggled to keep up. One time I checked the outside temperature and it was 101. About two hours later I saw a clearly distinguished line of sunlight and rain. The closer I got to the rain I saw how hard it was falling. Once we entered the rain it lasted for more than 20 miles. When I checked the outside temperature again it had dropped to 75. A little while later and out of the rain the temperature went back up to 84.

The rain had not quite finished when we got to Florence. Joe decided we had done enough for the day and we went to the Holiday Inn.

Today we finished the hooking up and we will be leaving for Monroeville in a little bit.
