MAY 1, Wednesday, move to St-Bruno
We got up at 7 a.m. reluctantly. It is cold in the Unit. It went down to -3*C (27*F) overnight...BRRRRRRR!! Got the furnace going, made coffee on the stove and at 8 a.m., I went to Wal-Mart to get our breakfast @ McDonald. Pierre showed up at 10 a.m. and we left for St-Mathieu de Beloeil on TC (trans Canada) 20. Pierre brought his own GPS to help not realizing I had one too. That's cool. We arrived at our destination about 20 minutes later and paid a exorbitant $38. for one night. As we drove in the driveway, we saw a dealership next door that sold Quantums so we set up, left Val to take her shower and went to the dealer. I now have an appointment for June 16 to get all the stuff done, hopefully. They were quite pleasant but the only drawback is they want $100. to open an account as we did not buy our rig there. OUTRAGEOUS! Welcome to Quebec, people!!!! I will call Fleetwood as I don't plan on paying that.
We went back to the rig, picked up Val and Tucker and went to Therese's house, after having brunch and dropping Pierre back at Wal-Mart.
We had an excellent visit and Michel came home early, a bonus. Even had time to get Tucker a haircut and grooming at a place near-by where they had a cancellation.
It was cool all day and never went any higher than 10*C (50*F). Therese made a very nice dinner and afterwards, my baby brother, Johnny, showed up. Came home around 11 p.m.
Tomorrow, we move to Drummond'Ville. By the way, fuel is around $1.40 a litre here.
MAY 2, Friday
Cloudy in the morning but it opened up quickly and it was sunny for the rest of the day. Also warmed up nicely to 12*C (54*F). So after packing, we went to ST-CYR RV and had our rig checked. We have an appointment for June 16 to get the repair done. Fran at Fleetwood finally returned my call and she is looking into the $100 charge. She agrees that this is totally uncalled for. They took pictures of everything and then we left.
We stopped for fuel on TC 20, again very expensive: 50 litres @ $1.38. Our next stop was Drummond'ville at St-Hubert BBQ restaurant where we had brunch and Diane, my brother Gaetan's wife, joined us. He couldn't as he works in St-Hyacinthe, approx 25 miles from here. We had a nice reunion then we headed to my brother Gilles, where we backed into the yard between two trees. Set up with full hook-up. Home for the next 6 months.
I helped him cleaned the yard and put his portable winter garage away.
MAY 3, Saturday
Raining this morning and the forecast is for rain on and off all day. Looking at this blog, I think I will now change to a weekly re-cap rather than daily news as things will probably get monotonous and repetitive. Will see. Helped Gilles take a load of branches and leaves to the dump. Afterwards, we re-arranged the electrical set up and the sewer so that it is more permanent and not intrusive.
Val cooked a lasagna for everyone for dinner then we watched Montreal vs Philadelphia (hockey) It rained pretty well the whole day and it is quite cool too.
