Tomorrow we pull ANNIE out of bed, load and then hit the road to Daytona. Will be testing
the wireless cruise control. Works fine on short runs so far. Now to venture out and play
with the GMC Sunshine Statesmen. So starts our club season or rallies.

Pulled ANNIE out of storage this morning at the COOP. Preflight went well, no problems
seen. On the way from Orlando to Lake Mary stopped at a new WAWA in Longwood and filled
up with 89 octane, ethanol free "boat gas" at $3.99 per gal. Love living in Florida. "boat
gas is everywhere. Smile Now to wash the girl.

Am home from out trip to Daytona Beach with the Sunshine Statesmen.
We stayed at the International RV Park in Daytona Beach. Site was great
costing $20 per night w/ 50/30 amp, water, sewer and a BBQ chicken dinner
Sat. nite thrown in by the campground.

Wireless Cruise control worked like a charm. Can bump speeds up AND down.
Control remote is about the size of car lock fob. Also ANNIE had about
20% more power and better mileage with the "boat gas". She ran like she
did 12 years ago (before ethanol). This was all clocked and gauged by my
seat of the pants.
