Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
Sleeping with the windows
open is something that we prefer doing until it starts dipping below the Fifty-Degree mark and that is what
happen last night. We made certain that all the windows and roof vents were
closed before going to bed. When my eyes focused on the clock this morning I
nearly jumped out of bed as it was past 9:00. We weren’t late for any
appointments it’s just that if I sleep too late in the mornings I generally
start having a hard time to sleep at night and that’s not what I want to
happen.
There was no way that Kathy
could not hear me opening the Window
Shades in the living area. She was sitting at the Dining Table before I’d even started getting things ready for
breakfast. After eating we brought our Coffees
over to the Computers as a way of Multi-Tasking. Some of the blogs we
were reading were referring to Hurricane
Harvey and how they might be affected by it. On this evening’s 6 o’clock News the Weather Guessers were saying that it has actually Increased in Intensity. We’ll be
praying for all those in this storm’s path.
Yesterday we spent most of
the day getting everything from the boxes and suitcases put away so that we
could once again function in our Home. For our lunch today Kathy realized we
didn’t have our Cooking Utensils. We
rechecked all the Cupboards, under
the Kitchen Counter and the Upper Pantry
but there was no sign of them. We decided to have soup for lunch so when Kathy reached
in the Lower Pantry where I had
installed extra shelves she started pulling out her missing Cooking Utensils. We had already sealed
the boxes when packing things away so Kathy simply decided to put them in the
Lower Pantry. The problem was that she had forgotten that she did that.

We needed to run some
errands so once lunch was finished around 1:00 I went outside to transfer the Suitcases from the truck to the car. There
was plenty of sunshine today with some clouds but the temperature was perfect.
It was around 1:30 when we
arrived at Canadian
Tire in Windsor to get some trash bags
not only for our containers but to be used for storage. As we were leaving we
noticed that we were in the middle of Afternoon
Rush Hour and traffic was nearly bumper to bumper.
We next drove over to Home Depot where I returned some Household Wiring that wasn’t used last year. Not having the receipt
they simply issued a Home Depot Value
Card that we’ll be able to use the next time we need something from them.
Down the road we stopped at
the Pioneer gas
station for gas for our car. We have put lots of mileage on it in the last
couple of weeks so it was time.
After collecting our Mail from our box at Guardian
Storage we went back to our Climate Controlled Storage Unit where after
covering it with a large clear trash bag we returned our Luggage Set. We also took some of the Toiletries we had stockpiled over the years when we lived in the
apartment.
We made a stop at Princess Auto where I took advantage of a few bargains that
were advertised on their E-mail Flyers.
They had a set of Heavy Duty Road Hazard
Triangles that were half the cost of the ones we already have and some Foldable Headphones that we’ll both use
when we have to be exposed to loud noises.
Driving over to Motor City
Credit Union we had some banking
to do. Because it was already after 4:00 and we were in the same parking lot we
walked to Taco
Bell where thinking outside the box
we had our supper.
We drove over to Walmart where
we looked for replacement slippers for me but they didn’t have any big enough in
my size.
Driving over to Zehrs
we spent some time getting the necessary groceries that will tide us over for
another week.
After taking a lot of the
back roads to get back Home to Wildwood Golf and RV Park we managed to have enough time to unload the car
before watching the 6 o’clock Local News.
After reading about the problems we are
presently having with our RV this
evening our dear friends Elaine and Rick Cochrane from E & R's Travels called to try and help us determine the severity of
the problem. When they are not on the road both Elaine and Rick work in one of
the better RV Dealerships in Moncton,
New
Brunswick. They gave me ideas how to check the extent of the problem
and how to have the dealership try to deal with it. We were on the phone for an
hour until they were certain I knew what to look for. That’s what you call Good Friends. Thanks for the advice
guys.
We’ll try to put their
advice into practice tomorrow. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe
and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
