Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
It was another wonderful night for
sleeping with the windows wide open last night. Unfortunately Kathy who
normally sleeps soundly like that only had a so-so night’s sleep. Most RV’ers
would say she had a Pretravel night but we weren’t going anywhere. The problem
was that we had an open ended appointment today that was for anywhere between
the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. With the appointed time being that specific Kathy
didn’t want to sleep in. She actually woke me up this morning when she jumped
out of bed at 7:33.
We got dressed before having breakfast
and had the dishes washed before we sat at the computers at 8:15. Surprisingly
at 10:24 there was a knock on the door and the cable installer was here to
reactivate our cable television that we’d given up over three years ago for
satellite. Martin had the connection outside of our apartment changed, removed
the old Bell satellite boxes, reconnected both our televisions to cable and showed
me how to use it all within twenty minutes. It will take us time to get used to
the channels so we can watch our favorite shows because the numbers are
different. We’ve already noticed a big improvement on many of those channels
and we can even use our VCR/DVD player that we couldn’t do while connected to
satellite.
Shortly after Martin had left
while I was attempting to show Kathy how to use the new remote I managed to lose
the connection and no matter what I did it would not reconnect. Finally I called
for technical support but I was on hold for nearly five minutes when I hit the
same buttons as before and everything came on the screen crystal clear.
Needless to say I hung up immediately and went about doing other chores.
I ran a quick errand to the Metro
Grocery Store for some supplies Kathy needed to finish our lunch. After eating I
was immediately on the phone with Bell canceling our television service with
them. Of course that’s when they start offering you all kinds of discounts in
order to keep your business. They should give long time customers discounts as
a thank you for being good clients then they wouldn’t lose customers.
Later Kathy and I drove to Staples
to get another ink cartridge for her printer. This also helped us to get some
walking exercise in. From Staples we headed to Walmart to do more walking and
get additional groceries. We also made a quick stop at the Dollar Store for a few things.
Since we haven’t refilled our empty
propane cylinder since yesterday Kathy baked a beautiful Salmon Filet in the
oven for supper. It didn’t have the same taste it would have had on the Weber
but it still tasted great. Not sure what we’ll be up to tomorrow but it should
be a busy day. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
