1 tree truck to Waukesha WI

... spending the night at Waukesha WI

No breakfast from the motel. I ate a poptart that I had gotten from a prior motel. BB had something similar.

Got going at 10 AM. Traffic was not too bad being a Sunday morning. Actually paced with some other traffic going the speed limit for a while. Then I got being a slower car and I didn't see anyone going the speed limit after that. A couple going under that I had to pass but most going 10, 20, 30 over. Even where the signs say 'photo enforced, minimum $250 fine.' If they actually would fine people, they likely could pay for these roads without a gas tax.

We went past a couple of swap meets, places where lots of people come every week to sell their junk and buy someone else's. We could see some masks, but also saw lots of people shoulder to shoulder.

We took I-294 even though it was about 4 miles further. Kept us out of downtown.

1st stop was at the Kwik Trip in Pleasant Prairie for fuel. I thought I was going to have enough when I filled last time. By this AM I could tell that I was loosing range. I would have come up about 30 miles short if we went direct to the customer. I added another nine gallons and still may want to put more in if it keeps dropping. There is a station part way between our motel and the drop seven miles away.

2nd and final stop was at the Comfort Inn in Waukesha. 149 miles today.

Later, we walked over to the Texas Roadhouse to get our to-go food. BB ordered a salad and I ordered to appetizers. Ribs and potato skins. Each one was twice what I needed. The ribs came with fries. I didn't eat any of the fries, all of the ribs and half the skins. I saved the skins for breakfast, maybe. They are very good but one or two would be good, but there were eight in the order.

We are about 7 miles from the drop including the stop at the rental car place. As of now the plan is to take the fastest way back to IA, it is 55 miles further but takes almost an hour less time. Then return the car yet on Monday and ...

Wait. Stay the night in IA and watch the load board.

BB did laundry today. One washer wasn't working so she had to do that load twice. Now we are out of soap and quarters. Not sure where to get more quarters? Or maybe we have a stockpile at home if we look.

Long afternoon sitting in the motel. Doing laundry earlier and too full later.
