Being a Monday this was Marissa's "split day", working morning and evening and having a free afternoon. In due course she went off to work, and I.....didn't! I had a gentle morning with my PC, my phone, and my books, including making a hotel reservation for Tuesday night.
When Marissa came home at midday we all three piled into the van and headed for Evansville. Our first stop was a Sonic drive-in for lunch. We then headed to the far end of the peoples' trail atop the Evansville levee, parked the van, and embarked on a good long walk beside the swollen Ohio River - not desperately high but enough to inundate some riverside parking lots and lower trails and walkways. The wind was almost as stiff as the previous two days, but the temperature was a good thirty degrees higher making it quite tolerable.
Once we were all exercised we headed to a large Rural King for a nice browse around and a series of miscellaneous purchases by Marissa, including a wood chisel. Since gas in Evansville was cheaper than in Mount Vernon I filled up the van's tank ready for tomorrows run southwards.
Back home the chisel was used to improve the functionality of Marissa's patio door deadbolt, and the pump & hose & electric cable used for the water pumping all put away & the crawl space entrance closed and covered so that until the heat trunking is fixed Marissa need only heat part of Mount Vernon, not all of it!
