Bill’s friend of 30 plus years, Joey, and his wife Janet drove all the way from Northern Illinois to get a bit of Florida sun and warmth…
Why all the coats, long sleeves, long pants you ask???? Yikes!!- a series of thunderstorms rolled through the night before they arrived making the sand roads just wonderful to drive on…. AND the cold front behind the storms whooshed through to the tune of a cold, breezy day of barely 50 degrees with their first night here dipping down to 23. We had installed them in the Magic Bus as Janet was particularly cold and Bill and I (OK ME, ME, ME!!! mostly) like the house cool at night. (Lest you think I am freezing the man, I also introduced him to down comforters which he LOVES…) Anyway, guests in the bus mean everyone has a bit of privacy and each couple can keep the temp whatever makes them happy.
BUT…when we went to bed, the temperature was forecast to get to mid-30’s so we had the bus set to heat with heat pumps. Heat pumps are good to 40ish and then less efficient as it gets colder to usually no heat at all below 30. When I woke and it was 23 I panicked a bit…but good news - for whatever reason the heat pumps spewed out heat all night and kept the bus at a cozy (HOT) 74 and all were happy.
It was a bit warmer the second day so a 4 wheeler trip was taken. A good time had by all and a great visit all around.
