Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
It was the second night in
a row that we slept with our windows open and we were just barely comfortable.
When we woke this morning, the temperature was already 79 F (27 C) but feeling
like 90 F (32 C). We were fortunate that there was a steady breeze that was
keeping us cool and when the wind would gust we were just comfortable.
Breakfast was lite and we
finished our morning Coffee/Tea at
the Computers. As soon as my cup was
empty I started doing my inside chores. Since there was already plans made for
later this afternoon the chores for the day were kept simple as we tried to
avoid using out Air Conditioner.
Standing outside for the short time that it took to empty our waste tanks even
though I was keeping Hydrated my
energy level was sapped.
For lunch Kathy once again
kept it lite making a nice French Onion
Soup for the main course with a Yogurt
cup for desert. We did up the dishes before we thought about Relaxing. Kathy finished reading the
book she started yesterday and started another. Since I’ll be using the table
saw to cut the materials for the Shelving
and Cabinet Modifications I needed
to make a list of all the pieces to be used. Referring to my measurement plans it
took nearly an hour to make my list.

| Roads were surprisingly empty most of the day. |
We were out the door headed
to Windsor by 3:00 with a number of stops to make before our appointed time of
5:30. We were going to attend our grandson Matthew’s Indoor Soccer Game that Kathy had verified Online before we left Home.
The first stop we made was
at the Bulk
Barn on Walker Road where we find it so much easier to buy the different
ingredients to make our own blend of Trail
Mix. Rather then getting the Ready-Made
Packages that are overly salted, have things that neither of us like and
not enough of what we do like this works better for us. As we were about to Check-Out Kathy ran into Kelly who used
to Baby-Sit Kathy’s children years
ago. After a short talk, we were back on our way.
The next stop was Home Depot where
I ran into Gord whom I worked with for over twenty-five years. Because of the
time I only briefly talked with Gord. We picked up the Full Extension Drawer Glides I’ll need to modify one section of our
Pantry. I also looked for a Four
Foot by Four Foot section of ¼” plywood
but since there was none Kathy suggested just getting two smaller pieces. Something
told me not to get them but I did.
We stopped at Wendy’s
next where we enjoyed their Chicken
Wraps off of their Value Meals Menu
for supper. Since it was only 90 F (32 C) but feeling like 104 F (40 C) outside we also needed something to cool down so we each had
a small Frosty to top off our meal.
Now we had to get across
town by 5:30 and it was nice to see the west end of the E.C. Rowe Expressway had no Construction
Delays but we barely got there on time. Having lived on the west-end for a
number of years I knew a lot of shortcuts. I dropped Kathy at the door and went
to park the car. I was just approaching the door when Kathy came out saying “Nobody is here!” A call to our son
Kevin verified the game had been cancelled and they forgot to tell us and
nobody posted it Online. We missed a
visit with our daughter-in-law Jennifer and our grandsons Connor and Haigan
because we thought there was a game. I had Kathy stay inside while I retrieved
the car.
We found the nearest Dollarama and
walked around for a few minutes to cool down and to walk off supper. We did
manage to find a few more storage containers that we needed as well as a few
packs of mints before heading for Home. We were able to take the new Herb Grey
Parkway which cut fifteen minutes
off our trip.

Once we were Home
I looked at my Materials List that I’ll
need tomorrow. When I examined the list of pieces of plywood that are needed I realized
that I will only make two pieces from the panels I got today. I’ll have to
return them and get a full sheet if necessary.
We are hoping to sleep with
our windows open again tonight and tomorrow’s temperatures are supposed to be Hotter. Thanks for following along and feel free
to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
