Yes, that’s right, I am a traveling fool! Or a fool for traveling. After having a nice relaxing day yesterday, I did a long drive, from Geneva, NY to Belfast ME. In my Tesla. So much easier and faster and better in my long range Model 3 than it was in my standard range Model 3. Woo hoo! And it was an almost perfect drive. No inclement weather. No traffic slow downs. Easy peasy!

Nice driving weather

I had three super charger stops. And all three were new to me. The first was in NY state near Albany. In a strip mall like location. The super charger was busy, but I got a space as soon as I arrived. No place to go to the bathroom unfortunately. Trust me, I looked. Looking took me all the time that I needed to charge. So when I got back from my fruitless wanderings, the car was ready to go. Good thing, as there were two people waiting for a spot.

The next super charger was in MA. At one of the Thruway’s rest areas. That made life much easier and quicker. I didn’t have to get off the thruway, drive to some out of the way place and then back again. And I got to pee. Woo hoo!

The last supercharger was in ME. Unfortunately, it was not on the thruway. It was at a Fairfield Inn. Fast chargers, which is good. But the stoplights to get there were really long. I mean like 4 minutes long! So I wasted almost 10 minutes waiting for lights to change. Grr. And no bathroom. I guess I could have gone into the Fairfield Inn and asked, but I didn’t really have to go. But it is good to have a bathroom at a charging place if one needs it. Imho.

I got to my sister’s place around 6:45 pm. I spent a few minutes setting up the charging for the car. It is very slow charging as it is just from the wall outlet. Maybe I will go into Belfast tomorrow and charge more. We shall see. I’m not too worried since the car is a long range. I could probably make it to Augusta and charge there if push came to shove when I head home.

J made a yummy chicken dinner. I think I am going to make a slow cooker recipe for the 23rd. Pork. Since J said that she has a big batch of beef stew that she made already. And we had chicken tonight.

I don’t think I am going to do much Duolingo tonight as I am in a decent spot in the leaderboard.

Augustus for President: I had a lot of thoughts and put them all in the database already. Like, who votes the most. Why don’t we target them somehow? Seems like a good initial strategy.

In the car, I listened to a decent book. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to the title – Giving Up is Unforgivable. It had a bit about voting. And had some good thoughts and ideas for books and such that I would like to read. I have added those to the database as well.
