Port aransas

The coach hasn’t moved in three months. Just because we don’t move the coach doesn’t mean we don’t use diesel fuel though. Diesel fuels our furnace and hot water. So after three months it was time to take the coach out, get a new inspection sticker for the one that expired in January, and get a fresh tank of fuel. It took seventy-five gallons.

When we stop for fuel, we never pay at the pump. If you pay at the pump, the pump will shut off at some predetermined amount established by the gas station; sometimes as low as $50. That can make for a tedious fill-up of a big tank. Judy always goes inside and gives the attendant our credit card which eliminates the gas station’s predetermined limit. After this last fill-up though, we had to call the credit card company and ask them to raise our predetermined gas station limit on the card. We just can’t get a full tank when it cuts off at $300.
