APR. 21, Wednesday, Gateway
Val had to go to Kamloops for a First-Aid course for her job. Can you believe that...she is Registered Nurse! The government will do anything for a buck! Anyway, I just did little jobs around the house and cooked dinner for when Val got home.
I finally calculated our average cost for this past winter. Including all our entertainment, booze, food, propane and sight-seeing, some repairs and maintenance, including fuel cost, we spent an average of $3606/month in 6.5 months.
We put on the truck a total of 18894 Km (approx. 11809 miles) at an average of $562 per month for fuel, some maintenance and some propane.
A total of $120 per day average for both fuel and expenses. Not bad for full timing!
APR. 22, Thursday, Gateway
Val was in the mood to clean house and I took this time to write a letter to Mexico about our sticker and brought my resume up to date and printed for distribution.
APR. 23, Friday, to Salmon Arm
We went to S.A today to pick-up our mail and to drop-off a few resume of me in various places in Sorrento on the way. On the way back we looked for and found a few caches then came home around 3:30pm. At 4 pm, we went over to Jack and Mim’s place for happy hour. Bob and Gayle, Marcel and Donna also joined us. We had Marcel and Donna over for dinner.
APR. 24 to 26, to Logan Lake
We left Saturday day afternoon for Logan Lake to visit with Joanne and Don whom just returned from a 3 months trip in Australia, and all our friends. On the way up, we stopped to find three caches that were near the highway. We stayed overnight with Lynden and Charlene. We all met at the local pub and had a wonderful chat and dinner; we even got to dance. It was quite late when we finally came home.
Sunday, after a hearty breakfast cooked by Lynden, we went for a walk in the hills behind the house and found 3 more caches there and introduce Lynden and Charlene to it at the same time.
We came home Monday morning early as we had an appointment at the garage to have the transmission flushed on the car. Back at our place, we visited with our neighbour, Ron and Theresa ; they are going back home to the coast tomorrow.
A very nice week-end indeed!
