December 1 to 5, 2014; Work, Christmas Party and doctor's appointments

DEC  1, 2014, Monday; Work continues

Man, what a cold blooming day this was!  - 5 with a chill of -10*C.  It finally warmed up some by noon once the sun hit us at our work site in Chilliwack.  We installed glass on a skylight above a pool in a complex.  We got most of it done but ran out of time so will be back tomorrow to finish.  Once home, I took a quick shower to warm all my body’s members.  I am beginning to miss the southern warmth!!!

DEC  2, Tuesday;

I spent the morning with Graeme and Todd working on the Sky Light project.  We got most of it finished but we ran out of material and so have to return one more time.  In the afternoon, I spent over an hour at a workshop getting an antenna installed for a VHF radio that Graeme will need when he goes to Babine Lake near Smithers.  I was home by 4:30 pm.  We had a nice dinner then watched the tube.  Val has been sick with a cold all day!

DEC  3, Wednesday; Sunny and cold

It was warmer than it has been but still cold, especially with the wind!  I spent the day taking old windows apart at the “Home Shop” and signed off by 3:30 pm along with Rob and Joe.  Todd and Graeme are still at their job site.

DEC  4, Thursday; Transport day and Company X-mas outing

I was busy with pick-ups until about one pm and after delivering them to the shop, I went home.  Everyone was off by 3 pm and we were all back at the shop for 4:30pm with our spouses.  R&K rented a small bus and driver to take us all to Port Coquitlam where we had dinner and watched a live theatre show about Christmas.  We had lots of laughs as the show was excellent and very funny.  We were back home by midnight.  It sure was nice not to have to drive especially since it was raining.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ROCHELLE and KEVIN for everything tonight!!!

DEC  5, Friday; To Salmon Arm

We were on the road by 7 am under cloudy sky.  We stopped in Merritt for gas and breakfast and arrived in Salmon Arm at 11:30 am.  We picked our mail, did some banking, went to the mall to get a pair of sunglasses (prescription) then to the doctor for both of us for our annual check-up. While at the Mall, we ran into co-workers from the Provincial Park.  We caught up to some news but soon had to go for our appointments.

On the way back, we stopped in to pick up some of our meds then onwards to Merritt once again for gas only then a stopped in Hope for dinner then home.  There was compact snow on the Coquihalla at the higher altitudes but it was in good driving conditions.  The weather cooperated and we had no rain or snow but I did have to stop to buy some windshield washer liquid.  We were home by 7:30 pm and I was in bed by 8:30.  A good day overall.
