Our Location today is Tecumseh , Ontario .
Don’t know how we managed to be up so late last night. The
time seemed to fly. It rained all the way from Amherstburg where we visited
with Kevin and Melissa to Tecumseh where we live. By the time we wrote the post
and got it online it just took forever with difficulty posting pictures.
When my head hit the pillow I only woke once throughout the
night and woke up raring to go this morning which is a first in over a week.
Kathy on the other hand couldn’t stop thinking of things we’ve done, things we
need to do and unimportant things that just kept her awake most of the night for
no reason.
After our breakfast of Ego Waffles and coffee we started
taking note of what food stocks we had in the freezer and pantry. Kathy then
started making her shopping list to use when we’d later go to the grocery
store.
Our first stop was at the area polling station. In the
province of Ontario there were five By-Elections being held due to a number of
Provincial Members of Parliament resigning their seats in the last six months
and our area was one of those. It didn’t take long for both Kathy and I to cast
our vote but when we went to leave the polling station parking lot had to wait
for the EMS and Fire Rescue to go by. At the very next corner someone driving a
mini-van tried making a left turn while running a red light. It only took
another vehicle coming through the intersection on a green light to dump the
van onto its side across the other side of the road. It didn’t appear there were
any major injuries.
Next Stop was at VitalAire where I had to pick up my CPAP
mask. When we were there the other day it had not arrived yet so they called
just before 5:00 last evening to say come and pick it up.
We were in need of some spending money if by chance we
needed to eat out so our next stop was at the Credit Union where I was in and
out within five minutes while Kathy waited in the car. I had just walked in the
door when Kathy had a visitor. Our friend and Member of Federal Government Joe
Comartin had spotted Kathy and they were into a good conversation. When Joe
asked what we were up to and we started telling him of our trips he said we
were making him jealous. We talked for nearly twenty minutes out in the parking
lot before we said our good-byes because Joe remembered he had an appointment
that he needed to get to.
For the next hour we walked around the Zehr’s grocery store
scratching item after item from our shopping list. Even though the store was
having all kinds of specials if it wasn’t on that list we resisted the urge and
just went with what we needed. When we left our shopping cart was amazingly
heavy but our wallets were extremely light. It didn’t take us nearly as long to
put our purchases away at the apartment then it was to find them.
After lunch we headed back to Guardian Storage and the
trailer where we had to open the slides to be able to remove the main
television. We went to Crescent Television to have them check it. For some
reason if we run this television on the antenna it works great but if we run it
on cable in the campgrounds we are parked in we have only one snowy channel.
The other three televisions in the trailer work great on cable or antenna. The
service manager at Crescent recommended we take it to someone’s home so we
could test it because for them to put it on the test bench would cost us up
front.
So now with the television in the back seat of the truck
we’ll have to visit one of our kids to see if we can test it there. For supper tonight
we grilled some Hulka that our friends Vera and Bill had given to us some time
back on the Weber Q and it’s still just as good as before. Thanks for following
along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

When I was a kid, my father had a TV repair business for awhile. Regularly,folks would bring in a TV that was not working. We plugged it in for testing and it worked fine. When there was a charge for the test, they were unhappy. It is always best to make sure it actually is the TV that has the problem first:)
