Can Am Guest Parking Lot
On Monday, Apr. 15th we woke up to a mostly sunny sky. It was around 7 when I crawled out to join Bill. Boy, did I ever drop off quickly last night! Never heard a peep. We were hopeful, but not convinced, that the Suite would be taken into the shop today. Our initial visit booked during the winter was to get one thing checked and then changed last Wednesday when our cable broke. It is an involved repair so we understood totally that other rv’s were ahead of us.
Good morning! |
So, Bill
picked up the brackets required to fix the damage under the kitchen slide
caused by the tire blow out. Peggy had received those quickly as well as the
cable. Bill is a handyman and can fix many things on the Suite so he began that
job after lunch. Gibbs and I took a few walks and basically spent our time
inside together. The sky cleared out completely of clouds so it was pleasant
but with a coolish wind.
We saw at least 2 brand new units leave the lot today. A Reflection 5th wheel and a Bambi (?) Airstream |
I took a
few pictures of Bill on the job but I’ll let him tell the story. We’re hoping that
we’ll be taken care of tomorrow so we can head home.
Today is another beautiful day although it started out a bit chilly. We reached
63F/17C by mid afternoon and the wind had died right off. We had toasted
westerns again for lunch and that finished off the cut up veggies I had left
over from the other day. It was good and filling.
Our cutie pie likes the grass Can't wait to get him home on the Ridge |
The ’gizzy
stop’ (plastic closure on our screen door) broke off today for the second time
so Peggy brought us one. Bill replaced it. The hardest part was removing the
dried glue from the last time he jiggered the fix. 😊 Told you, handyman. I sat in my chair, feeling quite (dare I
say) bored and did nothing but read my next Stephanie Plum story. This one is
Finger-Lickin’ Fifteen. At 4, Gibbs and I walked around the front lot and when we
returned, I made my tea and took my book outside.
The clouds cleared out nicely. |
It was
not the comfiest place to sit, on our step, but not worth getting the chair out
for a couple of hours. As I was finishing up my last few chapters, a horn
honked and a reddish coloured Dodge pulled in beside Black Beauty. It wasn’t
until Marlene got out that I realized who it was. They were in the city for
their own business and took the time to stop around for a quick hello. It wasn’t
too long but it was sure nice to see both her and Benno.
then our little 'old' man watches us make supper |
For supper, Bill and I had the last of the meat loaf and a vegetable of choice. Mine was asparagus, his was corn. It hit the spot.
Supper was good |
After cleanup we watched an
episode of Fire Country and then NCIS and NCIS Hawaii. It is nice to be back on
home time to watch things when they come on instead of 3 hours earlier! This
has been a very quiet day but ultimately a good one.
Good night! |
Thank you
for stopping by.
Gee, you might be home tomorrow..as much as you enjoy the USA I imagine there's something special about
ReplyDeletethe oh so comfortable
familiarity of the Ridge, hope all goes smoothly as
possible,Mary
Thank you Mary. Probably Wednesday now.
DeleteHopefully the repair is today, and by tomorrow you are back on the Ridge. There is something soothing about knowing the date of summer spot feet down. At least it’s warmer in Southern Ontario. Our Little Rock is surrounded by the frigid waters of Lake Huron….brrrrr. lol. Good luck!

So close yet so far. Nice Bill can make some of the repairs. It's good to have a Handy Man!! You'll be on your way in no time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy. Bills abilities do impress me and saves us labor costs too.
