6*C in am; 12*C in pm & sunny
The
day began foggy but it cleared by noon and it was sunny until late in the
afternoon. First thing was to unload and
store the kayaks then removed both the bike and kayaks racks off the Jeep….it looks
bare now! We went to Sorrento to get
insurance for the car and the Jeep then to the pharmacy to pick up a month’s
supply of our drugs! We had lunch next
door then came home and proceeded to work in the yard. At 4 pm, we had HH with Bob & Gail and Marcel
(Donna is away). Val made a stew in the Crockpot
so that’s what we had for dinner then we watched the tube. On that subject, I ordered a subscription
with BELL and it will be hooked up on Tuesday.
We were in bed by 10 pm
6*in am; 13*C in pm
We
had rain overnight but now it is only dark clouds. I calculated some expenditure
for this past season and trip, from
September ’13 to April ’14:
TOTAL MILES: 7866 miles
FUEL: $4100 (Approximate due to utilizing cash
at times)CAMPING: $1409
GASOLINE (Jeep): $1400
DINING OUT: $2400 (highly unusual and big surprise for us)
I
took Tucker for his walk then I stopped at Marcel’s place and gave him a hand
on his new shed. He has insulated it and
his putting gyproc on the walls and that is what I helped him with. After lunch, we worked on our yard, cleaning
up and de-winterizing the washing machine.
We had HH at Bob and Gail’ place with Donna & Marcel. Dinner was left over then the tube and to
bed. The sun finally came out late in
the afternoon.
4*C in am;
Back
to clouds and rain this morning but the sun did come out later in the
morning! I washed both the car and jeep
then worked in the yard some more. No HH
today, we had dinner then watched a movie on the tube. We were in bed by 10 pm
5*C in am; 15* in pm
We
were up at 6 am for Tucker’s appt @ 8 am.
It is cloudy but I can see blue sky in the West. We went into Salmon Arm and had Tucker
examined. Nothing that we didn’t know, a
heart murmur, some liquid in his heart and a slight infection of the kidneys
but nothing overly serious, just what to expect for a 17 year old dog (80 our
age). While in town, we stopped at the
bank then at “Save-on-Foods” for groceries.
We came home, put everything away then I called my specialist to confirm
my appointment for tomorrow only to find out it has been re-scheduled to May 6;
so I have another week of snorting and coughing, DAMN! In the afternoon, I went to Chase and bottled
my red wine and ordered a batch of white for Val. It is sunny but the wind is still fairly
chilly. I contacted DISH NETWORK and
cancelled our contract until November. I
wanted it cancel as of end of my present subscription but in her
wisdom/foolishness, the operator cancelled us as of today so now we listen to
the radio until tomorrow. To bed by 10
pm
1*C in am; 22*C in pm
Well,
since I didn’t have to attend to any appointment, I slept in! Until 7 am!!!
It is sunny and hardly a cloud around, we both went for long power walk,
it felt good! I worked on maintenance
around the Beaver and Jeep while Val did laundry. Our installer showed up at 2 pm and we now
have Bell TV Channels. He showed me how
to go back to Dish when we go back to USA and it is fairly simple. After we left, we continued working around
the yard and organizing the stuff form the Beaver. We called it quit around 3:30 pm, had a quiet
drink then it was stir-fry for dinner, YUM! YUM! We watched BC news for the first time in a
long time! I called my son in law Kevin
as he is leaving tomorrow for a bike trip to the Southern US States. He’s looking at Bryce and Capitol Canyon;
should be very interesting. It’s been a
very nice and warm afternoon.
5*C in am;
I
was up at 6 am and went to town (S.A.) for 8 am for a CT scan concerning my
nose and throat. I also got a new number
for Val’s phone 250 463 1816. She has unlimited calls anywhere in
Canada for $45. I also stopped at
Chrysler about the “engine light” on in the jeep and made appointment for
Friday at 1 pm. On the way home I
stopped and dropped off the paperwork for reimbursement of my insurance while
being in Mexico.
We
went to the Prov. Park but no one was there so we came home and had lunch. Afterwards, Val washed the car seat covers
and Tucker’s bed blanket and cover while I worked on organizing the
basement. It was a warm afternoon and
very pleasant. We had a quiet drink at 4
pm then dinner; Val cooked a Pork Roast and it was delicious with potatoes,
gravy and cheese covered cauliflower. In
the evening, we watched another episode of SURVIVOR! TO bed by 10 pm
