About Me

Lee Creek, North Shuswap near Chase, B.C, Canada
We went full-time Rving in October of 2005! We retired from full time to part-time as of the end of 2015. Our present "small but comfortable" Wagon is a 2008 Camper trailer(TravelAir Rustler), pulled by a 2008 Dodge Dakota, 4X4.l. Our home is now a Gated Community Park, in Oliver, British-Columbia, Canada. I retired in 2005 and my Life Companion, Valerie, retired October 1, 2006 from nursing. We invite you to follow and share our new adventures and mishaps. Life is but an adventure full of dreams yet to be fulfilled!

May 24 to 26, 2011; Kamloops for repairs and home

MAY 24, Tuesday, Kamloops for repairs
We were up early and drove to Kamloops with “Bear” to get some minor repairs and warranty work done. Once we dropped the rig at South Thompson RV, we drove up to Costco to pick up a few things then went for lunch. In the afternoon, we hung around STRV as we had no other things to do. Later in the afternoon, we learned that we would have to spent the night there so we went out to a local pub, had dinner and watched the Hockey game and what a game it was! Excitement and suspense to the max.!


MAY 25, Wednesday, back to Lee Creek
They finished the work and after paying the bill, we drove back home to Lee Creek. As we walked inside the rig, we found the drawer under the couch had come off its track and was lying on the floor. We also found that the slide which had supposedly been adjusted was still out of whack and the water under the sink was leaking again. Frustrated and angry, I called STRV only to be told that they were short man power and we would have to drive back to Kamloops. Needless to say I wasn’t happy! Bob came over and we tried to get the drawer back on but the slide was not holding it. We tried to adjust the main slide only to find out it was out by one inch. I made arrangements with STRV to go in the morning then we went to Bob and Gail for happy hour and drown my sorrows. Jack and Mim were also there so we had a few laughs anyway.


MAY 26, Thursday, Lee Creek
We got up to windy and rainy day so I call South Thompson to let them know we would not be coming in today but next week. Val did a load of laundry and I stayed home doing a few little things. In the afternoon, we went over to Ron and Theresa’s place and played cards until supper time. Val made her famous meat balls and sauce then we watched the tube. Still raining but the wind has died down.
