Joe's place is marked in yellow. The building has a fantastic stone-fired pizza shop and a bicycle shop in it. Notice that Doak Campbell Stadium does not run north-south or east-west. We usually get seats in that large shadow in the southwest area.
Sams put on 4 new Michelins tires yesterday. They were not busy - it was a quick drive-in and drive-out. the camper has 28000 miles on it - but the old tires were 7 years old. they had plenty of tread on them.
Today Jeanie and Earl Eidem are coming for a visit and to take the kids to an FSU football game. Five of their kids are coming along. Most of them have never been to a game.
The Roadtrek will be used to take us all to the game - about 2 miles from our house. Kickoff is 6 PM so we will head to the game between 3 and 4.
When I bought the camper - I knew the tires were fair. They had good tread - but the sidewalls were showing their 7 years of age. Friday I took it to Sams and got a set of Michelin tires put on it. They have a 70000 mile warranty. I am sure the old tires would have made the 4 miles round trip - but it was as good excuse as any to get new tires. Men love new tires.
We will be parking very close to the stadium - about one block away. One of my builders - Joe - owns a building and lot close to the stadium. The yellow arrow above points it out. We have a 20% chance of rain for the game. Lulu is preparing a big picnic lunch. 9 of us will pile into the van for the short trip over.
Tickets will be very cheap - FSU is playing a small black school called Bethune-Cookman from Daytona. Ticket prices are $38 - but I expect we will have 50 yard line seats for $10 each. Too bad Jeannie and Earl bought tickets already. I am guessing 65000 out of 83000 will show up.
