6/3/09 Killens Pond State Park, DE

6/3/2009 Killens Pond State Park, DE Mostly cloudy, 70's. T-storm watch.

Bacon & Eggs for breakfast, then off to Felton to look for the laundromat. It was there, but only two small machines were open. We went on to Dover Mart in Dover. There, a gang of people were converting the place to a card-operated remote-control operation. Still, we got in and did our clothes with not too much fuss.

When we came out, we found the tailpipe had separated from its hanger and was drooping close to the ground. The laundromat manager came up with some wire for dropped ceilings; I tied it up temporarily. We proceeded to Scotties Exhaust & Muffler and got it repaired. They replaced three hangers with a type wherein the bolt through the rubber that provides vibration isolation can't work through the rubber and drop out. Quick work and $50 - not too bad.

Then we went west on DE-8 to Marydel MD/DE to look at the place where we were married. On to Sandtown DE to look at D's parent's old farm, now subdivided into several residential lots with nice houses. The little house she moved to later is still there and looking ok, next to the house where Tom & Phyllis lived at the time. Memories.

Back into Felton to fuel up for tomorrow's trip. Then back to the little house in the trees for hamburgers, etc., which tasted just right in the forest.

Now we'll just take our ease and prepare to fight the Washington DC area tomorrow.
