Cape Cod Trip - Day 1

In the morning, I teleworked for a few hours before driving to White River Junction for two hours of volunteering at UVAC (using the woodchipper).  Afterwards, I returned to my condo to telework for another four hours.  I later packed up my car and left (1345) Hanover North, bound for Hanover South.  I talked to Eileen on the way (I-89 to NH-3A).  Also listened to audiobooks.  I had problems with my recently "repaired" car as I lost my cruise control and all associated features.  Stopped for gas at Irving in Hooksett at 1510.  After that, got on I-93 and drove south.  Encountered more cruise control problems with car (grrr...) as I reached Boston (1600) and then had to sit in a traffic jam for almost 90 minutes (while only 30 miles from Katie's) on the way to Hanover.  By the end of the drive, I found myself on MA-3A for a few miles.  After reaching my sister's house, I got to visit with Dan, Ella and John before they all left for previous engagements.  Meanwhile, Katie and I drove over to eat dinner at the Ocho Cafe in Weymouth.  Since my sister was driving, I had no idea where we were when we arrived!  We had a delicious dinner and then Katie drove me through Hingham and, eventually, out to Hull.  We stopped for a bit at Fort Revere Park (amazing views) and then headed back towards Katie's.  When we arrived, I got to visit with Johnnie and John again.  Went to bed at around 2300.
