(This post was written late on Thursday July 31st)

These past few days have been occupied with many tasks including repair of the billiard cue sticks and getting a replacement cue ball so the nieces and nephews can play pool at Grandma’s house.  I also did some much needed re-caulking in the bathroom.  I attended a carnival and rode on rides with the kids, visited friends in Roseland,  West Orange, and Red Bank, NJ,  went shopping for a few travel staples at Costco, and even finished reading the C.S. Lewis book.

I have been to the Supercharger in NJ a few times (since charging at my Mom’s home is particularly slow from a 110 outlet).  On one day I met Mike from Western Massachusetts who was charging his blue 85kw.  He drives 1,000 miles a week in his Tesla for work between his home and South East Pennsylvania for work! He has already ordered his Tesla Model X.  On another day, I met Broades (cool name, but no known derivation).  He works for the Tesla Service Center in Devon, PA and he had just delivered a new Tesla to a customer who lives only 2 minutes away from the Hamilton, NJ Supercharger.  He was topping off a blue car so he could head back to work in Pennsylvania.

I enjoyed a nice dinner out with my brother, my Mom, and her two friends Betty and Ben.  We ate at The Four Winds in Wall, NJ.  The food was fantastic, and the service was wonderful too (thanks Jill!). While dining there, a man came up and said that it was rumored that someone at our table had driven there in a Tesla.  That caught me by surprise but I was happy to answer his questions about the car.  After dinner, I showed Ben the car and let him know about the upcoming test drives scheduled in NJ.

Later, I spent time packing up my belongings and researching the first leg of the journey West.  First stop will be in Beach Haven, NJ since the folks from Tesla headquarters are coordinating test drives there!  Then, it is off to Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.   The daily travel blog begins again…  Frugal Tesla
