May 1 to 6, 2014; Appointments and more appointments

MAY  1, 2014, Thursday; Gateway
A beautiful sunshine greeted us this morning.  I worked some more on my organizing and I took a drive to the Park but the manager wasn’t there.  I changed the air filter on the Beaver.  What a job!  It was very tight in there and that filter is huge and heavy due to the dirt inside.  The new one was much lighter but tricky to put back in.  Val gave me a hand and we finally got it installed.  I checked the anti-freeze in the radiator and had to add two gallons.  I then checked the level on the “Instant Hot Water” heater and it is also low so will have to buy some tomorrow.  We took a break before dinner then watched the tube.

 
MAY  2, Friday; To Salmon Arm

Woke up to another cool but sunny day!  We went back to S.A. to look for a few needed items and to have the Jeep checked out.  A couple hundred dollars poorer, the Jeep’s engine lights was turned off and the cause, a faulty wire!  I couldn’t find the special anti-freeze I need for our “Hydro Hot Water” system so will have to continue my research on that.  We came home and cooked dinner then more tubing!  It rained in the evening.

 
MAY  3, Saturday; Gateway
It rained all day!  I took Tucker for his walk then I went to Chase and finally found the special antifreeze I need for our Hydro water tank.  I rented some movies and that’s what we did for the rest of the day.

 
MAY  4, Sunday;
More rain today!  Took Tucker for his walk in between rain falls. We went into Chase to return the movies we watched yesterday, took a short drive around then came home.  Val cooked the Alaskan Cod I bought a while back; it was delicious. 

 
MAY  5, Monday; To Salmon Arm
Cloudy this morning but there are a few blue patches too.  I had a doctor’s appointment this morning and we discussed the CT scan I had last week.  I also got a renewal on my pills and dropped that off at the drugstore in Sorrento on the way back.  I drove on to Chase and return our movies and got more than went to the Bank.  We had a great dinner of pork chops and potatoes with my favorite gravy then we watched a movie.  I recorded “The Black List” to be watched later

 
MAY  6, Tuesday; To Kamloops
We have a sunny morning but it clouded over in the afternoon.  We drove to Kamloops early and did some shopping for work boots with steel toes for me.  The Park is reimbursing me for the cost.  At 2:15pm, we drove to the Specialist and after an hour wait, I finally saw him and he confirmed that I may need surgery but first, he wants me to try antibiotics and nose spray for the next 3 weeks. I am to call him in mid June to discuss further.  We drove to Sorrento to pick up the prescription then home; there is a lot of construction on Hwy 1 widening it to 4 lanes, almost to Chase.  We had a quick drink then dinner.  The sun has come back out and the forecast is for more tomorrow and warmer, finally.
