MAY 27, Wednesday, Coquitlam
We went to Costco this morning to buy a few groceries than took a drive around. We spent the rest of the day visiting, reading and preparing dinner.
At dinner I met Joanne’s adopted parents for the first time and we had a very nice visit and dinner. They are very nice people and have RV’ed to some of the places we’ve been such as the Baja so we had notes to compare.
MAY 28, Thursday, To Chilliwack
We spent the morning with Joanne and Jenaya and left around 2 p.m. We took Hwy #1 to Langley where I stopped PACIFIC AXLE & SPRINGS to have an estimate on the repair of the springs under the trailer. After setting up an appointment for next Wednesday June 3, we continued on to Sardis to my daughter and family’s place. We arrived around 4 p.m., parked beside the house, hooked up the power and visited with the family. The girls have really blossomed and matured in the last 2 years. They are beautiful young ladies now, if I may say so myself. Rochelle prepared us a nice dinner then we sat on the back porch and relaxed.
We travelled 92 KM in 2 hours at an average speed of 40 MPH
N 49* 07' 48"
W 121* 57' 46"
Alt: 55 feet
MAY 29, Friday, Truck to Abbotsford
First thing in the morning, I unloaded the kayaks. Jeffrey showed up with his boat on the way to Harrison Lake for the week-end so we made arrangements to meet there tomorrow. I drove to Abbotsford to VALLEY DIESEL PERFORMANCE, dealer of the BD exhaust brake. I spent 3 hours there while they searched for the problem. They ended up changing the exhaust ICP valve which had shown up a couple time on the diagnostic. They re-hooked everything on the BD brake and I left. Within a mile, it acted up and much worse than before so back to the garage where they FINALLY agreed with me that it was the Jake causing a short in the throttle assembly. We unhooked it all and I again left as it was closing time. I am to give them a call Monday. I drove back to Chilliwack.
After dinner we sat outside on the back porch and chatted than Kevin wanted to see MADAGASCAR so we watched that then went to bed.
MAY 30, Saturday, to Harrison Lake
We all sat on the back porch for our morning coffee than it was shower time. Val, grand-son Graeme and I drove to Harrison in Graeme’s car to meet Jeffrey at his boat on Harrison Lake. We spent the rest of the afternoon riding the boat around Echo Island and having a good time. The weather was perfect and very warm. We all got sunburned! We got back to the house by 7 p.m. after stopping at a local pub for dinner. Jeffrey went back to his boat for the night and as he said, “watch the bikini on the beach!”
For the rest of the evening, we watched “MADAGASCAR PART 2” with Kevin and Rochelle. Graeme went out to meet his buddies in Abbotsford. We called it a night after the movie.
MAY 31, Sunday, Sardis
I HAVE UPLOADED NEW PICTURES IN NEW Folder # 41 and updated folder #40.
Everyone went to church this morning then went shopping at costco so we headed for Langley to Best Buy to see about my laptop. I had to leave it there overnight; they are going to reload Vista as some of the programs are not running like they should and may have been installed improperly, so they say. At least it’s free.
We bought a MP3 player for Val and a Electronic Picture Player. As we were coming home, Syd and Vera, Kevin’s parents, called to ask us over for dinner so we went there after dropping off our stuff at home. We had a very nice visit and dinner and stayed chatting until 9:30 p.m.
It’s been a good day!
