Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
As soon as we opened the curtains this morning we knew that
the temperature had dropped as forecasted because the sun didn’t seem to be
able to break through the heavy cloud covering that we were experiencing. With
a scheduled water shut-off slated for 9:00 until 3:00 today as soon as we’d
finished our morning reading and chores in the apartment we were off to run
some errands.
Our first stop was Express Auto Service on Provincial road to get service done
on the car. Unfortunately by the time we got there he was overbooked to the end
of the day. That’s when we found out they had just opened a second location and
if we’d drive there he’d call ahead for us. Within ten minutes we were at their
second location where as promised they were waiting for us. I’d recently
noticed some shifting hesitation on the transmission we’d replaced only three
years ago. So today we wanted an oil and filter change as well as a
transmission flush. As we waited for the car we notice we could watch different
vehicles being worked on and different areas of the building through a closed
circuit video feed. Kathy had wanted to find a car wash afterwards but when we
saw cars being hand washed in the shop we added that to our list of things for
them to do. We left there with a shiny looking car that ran better than before
and had that new car smell inside all at a very reasonable price.
Since it was nearly noon and we had more errands to run we
stopped at McDonalds to have their Specialty Chicken Wraps and a free
coffee for lunch. This time we got caught right in the middle of lunch hour
so there was some waiting for our order and limited places to eat.
Our last stop was back at the Staples outlet where Kathy had purchased her
new laptop. She had a problem with it last Friday which was only six days after
we got it home. Kathy had written down the fault that had occurred so the tech new
exactly what to look for. It was the Windows
file that had not updated since I loaded it last Sunday. I was concerned of
the effect it had on the screen so they kept it to run a thorough scan on it
overnight. While there we did some store walking and made a few purchases of
office supplies that we were actually out of.
Back at the apartment while Kathy started doing her
book-keeping off the memory stick we copied her program and I went to check for
our mail. In the process I ran into Dan
the building manager who informed me the possible tenants didn’t show to see
the apartment yesterday which meant we could have stayed home. He also informed
me that the other interested party needed it by the middle of March so that ruled
him out. This means that we can expect more of these showings to take place.
Tomorrow we have more errands to run but the first is the big
step towards our Fulltiming Adventure.
Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
