SEPT 28, Monday, Visiting in Chilliwack
Val got a phone call from the doctor this morning. She has to go see him on Thursday afternoon to have a lump removed. She learned that it is cancerous but NOT malignant so that’s good news I guess but she will have a scar around her right eye which we will fix when we return next April.
Everyone is at work or school so we spent the day shopping and doing laundry. For dinner, Rochelle and Val cooked a delicious Pork Roast. Unfortunately, Graeme couldn’t stay for dinner nor could Vanessa as she had to work so we said our goodbyes to them before they left. In the evening, we sat in the living room and socialized.


SEPT 29, Tuesday, back to Gateway
It rained overnight! Actually, the weather man says there could be snow on the Coquihalla pass!?
We said goodbye to Hayley as she left for school then we got ready to leave. Kevin’s mom came over to help Vanessa paint her room so we chatted for a few minutes then it was time to go. After saying goodbye to everyone, we went to Rochelle’s work and said our goodbyes. We stopped for a Tim Horton coffee then drove east on Hwy 1. It was cold over the pass and snow could be seen at the 5 000 feet level ( the pass is at almost 4000). We stopped in Merritt for lunch then it was straight to Gateway. We got here around 4 p.m., put everything away and relaxed.


SEPT 30, Wednesday, Rig to Kamloops for minor warranty work
Val went to work today and I took the rig to South Thompson in Kamloops. There was a water leak that I had to get fixed so I got them to do other little things that needed attention; nothing serious! I was there all day and got back around 3:30 p.m. I stopped at Flying J and fuelled up at .889/L and I weight the rig and truck. I actually have 1600 lbs to spare on the trailer axle which is excellent. Even the truck notices an easement on pulling “the Bear”.
It was raining when I left this morning but it cleared later and was sunny most of the day but it’s back to clouds now and much, much cooler; it only got to 60*F today.
Only one day to go! I HAVED POSTED NEW PICTURES IN FOLDER # 43
