Film and Love Bugs

Our first day out of SNF and it was a good one. The weather was very good. We drove the short distance to Florida Applied Film to get the damaged Diamond Shield removed from the front of our RV. That went very well and the RV looks great. While it was in process, we drove to Lakeland and visited Custom Coach Works where we may get our floor replaced in the fall. They gave us a tour and showed us their work and some of our options. It will take some work to figure out what we want and how it will get done. We had a nice lunch on the patio of a restaurant, Ellyn went to a fabric store, and then we went back and picked up the RV and went to Costco for a few things.

Finally, about 3:00, we got on the road. Immediately we hit a problem...lots of them. Love Bugs they call them. Little black bugs paired up for love, and apparently swarming right in our path. At some points they sounded light rain drops hitting the front of the coach. Eww.

After we stopped for dinner in Citra, FL on US 301, they seemed to let up. Now that we are in Georgia and have them cleaned off, perhaps we have gotten through the worst of it.
