A very hot and sunny day! 32*C! I finished setting up BEAR and putting some of the stuff out, took the bikes and kayaks off and unloaded the spare tire which is ruined. The rest of the day was spent visiting and relaxing. Peter took his friends back to town around 4 pm and upon his return, we had steaks and potatoes. Gilles and Lise came over in the evening and we were in bed by 10 pm
This was the hottest and most humid day yet...40*C! Peter and I went over to Gilles’ place down the road and worked on his yard for a couple hours. After lunch, Gilles hooked up his deck boat and we went to the river for a ride. We swam in 79*F water then when it was time to leave, the motor wouldn’t start no matter what we tried so we flagged someone with a powerful boat but he didn’t want to pull us back to our launching site so we flagged someone else, a small boat with a 15 HP motor and he pulled us all the way back. Needless to say Gilles was really upset as we just had it serviced and this is a new boat!!!
Anyway, back at his house, Lise cooked us hamburger and then we all walked to Peter’s place to have a small fire. Gaetan and Josette came over and we had a nice evening.
Cloudy but very warm and humid! We (Peter and us) were sitting by the lake when Brother Andre and girlfriend Pierrette showed up. We were having a nice visit and then brother Gaetan and girlfriend Josette also showed up. It became a double whammer for me and lots of laughs were passed around. We enjoyed good company and a good swim as it was very hot and humid all day. Everyone stayed for dinner and Val cooked her famous hamburger meat balls with gravy and potatoes joined by vegetables. Everyone enjoyed their dinner and Peter took some sugar pie out of the freezer and served it to everyone. It looked very good but I turned down any pieces due to my diabetes. Just as we finished dinner, the rain began so we all moved in the house. More stories then it was time to call it a night as most have to work tomorrow. A great day!
As a foot note, Tucker has really been having major problems with his joints in the back legs the last couple days. We think it may arthritis or something like that. We finally got him to take some aspiring stuffed in cheese and that seemed to help but we need to take him to a Vet tomorrow. His back is hunched and he really has a hard time walking or lying on his sides due to the back legs.
JUL 16, Monday, Vet for Tucker
It
rained overnight and early this morning; rest of the day was cloudy and humid! After showering, we took Tucker to the
vet. $250 later and an X-ray, we were
told he has arthritis and the humidity and heat makes it worse for him. We got a prescription for him then picked up
Peter 1.5 hrs later at a coffee shop. We
came home and Val did some laundry and I went to LUCIEN RV to check about the
repairs on BEAR. They will do the work
so I phoned the insurance company and now we wait for the adjuster. We had dinner together and went kayaking and
boating on the lake. It was to bed early.
