August 15, Tuesday, Sunny and warm
Went for a bike ride today with Therese, Christiane, Lise and Val. We were gone for 4 hours on a wonderful trail following the St-Francois river. Made it to the village of St Bonaventure and had lunch there. Afterwards, we returned to our departure point and had a black cloud with rain just missing us. We were lucky. Unfortunately, I forgot the camera so no pictures.
August 16, Wednesday, Sunny and hot
Took the truck in for an oil change and fuel filter change. Washed the rear and front of "Kenzy" (new name for our fifth-wheel, short for McKenzies) and took all the vent covers off as it is going in tomorrow to be re-sealed as it was leaking.
No other events to report....quiet day
August 17, Thursday. Cloudy with some sun
Took "Kenzy" in to Roulotte Lupien to get the seals re-done and check the rubber under the slides as they seem to be leaking. After an inspection, we found out that we had two broken springs. (sound familiar Craig????) We hit some bad road bumps in Ontario and Northern Ontario and I can only guess that it was somewhere there.
We agreed to change all the springs to 6 leafs spring however I have to call my insurance first to see what it covered.
Returned home with Kenzy at the end of the day. Gilles is home tonight.
August 18, Friday, Sunny and hot
Very warm night and humid. Helped Gilles with the house. Put up the siding on the front and some touch up and also installed all the new windows which arrived this afternoon.
August 19, Saturday, Cloudy, humid and warm
Another warm night. Help Gilles some more with the house. Gaetan and Diane showed up after dinner and later on, Andre and Pauline. We had a camp fire. It began to rain a bit later and never stopped until Monday morning. Andre and Co. stayed overnight in our rig.
August 20, Sunday, Rain, rain and more rain.
Managed to work on the house for about two hours before the rain took over for good. Andre and Pauline left around 2 p.m. and Gilles got ready to leave for Latuque later. It is about 3 hours from here and that is where he works. He stays there for the week and usually comes home on Thursday night.
Finally got the satellite hooked-up for the TV
August 21, Monday. Cloudy
It rained most of the night, at times heavy! We left at 8 a.m. this morning to take Kenzy to Lupien and get the springs installed. What a a difference it made in the height. Gained about 3 inches of clearances on the wheelwells. It was ready by noon and we brought it back home. If nothing else, I am getting lots of exercise of backing up in tight spots. Total cost was $800; 400 of which was for labor and taxes.
Called UPS today and had them forward our mail here for the last time. Also made an appointment for Tucker to get a haircut
That`s all folks till next time
