Today was an on/off rain day. There was a red flag up today at the beach, which meant hazard water - the waves were really strong & it was very windy. We decided to take a ride to the nearby city of Apalachicola. We stopped at a marina called Bay Shore. There were a lot of huge fishing boats docked there and Richard wanted to check them out. Well----that was when we had another "I love Lucy" episode. Being that it was rainy out we had the head lights turned on our car. When we got out to look at the boats, we forgot to turn them off -- yep when we got back to our car, the battery was dead! What do we do now.?? Richard went to look around for someone who maybe had jumper cables ( which we had with us -- back at the RV) surprisingly a truck pulled up in the parking lot and it was a park ranger who .... Had jumper cables!! ( Guess God does work in mysterious ways) He jumped our car and would not accept any payment. When Richard checked our battery, he realized it was over 5 years old. Since we depend on our car to get around when we are at campsites he decided we could not wait until we get home, we drove around & found an Àdvanced Auto Parts store & bought a new battery which they installed for free. When we got back to our RV, the rain had stopped so we went for a bike ride. Later we went to the civic center where they have Tues. night bingo, which we went to last year we were here & won 2 games. We did not win this year, but we enjoyed the evening.
