Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
Not wanting a repeat of the last few
nights I had a cup of Sleepy Time Tea
while I wrote the blog last night and only remembered laying down then waking
up shortly after 7:30 this morning. Kathy has been sleeping quite soundly so
she had regular tea instead. Guess who was busy organizing the new trailer most
of the night instead of sleeping and woke up tired this morning.
Even though we were up early we didn’t
have much time to spend at the computers. There were a number of comments
asking for pictures of the new trailer so the easiest way to check it out would
be to go Online. Type in this entire description 2014 Jayco Eagle Premier 351 MKTS and you’ll be able to see
pictures taken by the dealers. Since we are losing our outdoor kitchen fridge
we were lucky enough to get the twelve cubic foot side by side refrigerator to
make up for it.
After the normal inside chores I was
soon headed outside before 9:00 this morning and the Humidex was already at 100
F (38 C). Kathy had a morning
appointment in the trailer so she was doing double duty getting ready for that
plus packing and purging STUFF we
won’t be using in the new trailer.
Once I’d watered our flowers as well as
the weekend seasonal camper’s flowers I removed our storage skirt from the
front of our trailer. Spreading it out on the grass behind our shed gave me a
little bit of shade to help with the high heat. I was surprised just how dirty
it had gotten in the three months it had been installed. With a bucket of soapy
water and a stiff long handled brush I managed to make it appear white once
again. Even though I was drinking plenty water I still ended up drinking a
bottle of Gatorade before lunch to be able to continue working.
Mary from Healthy Heals arrived just before 11:00
and I noted she was parking her car with the windows closed. I reminded her she
wasn’t in the city and she could lower her windows so the heat wouldn’t build
as much. Inside the trailer as she was attending Kathy’s feet Kathy told her
about our new trailer. She can’t wait to see it!
After Mary left Kathy busied herself
making her Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
which helped to clean up even more food from the fridge. She managed to chop
everything without cutting herself today. I was busy flushing our waste tanks
when she called me in to lunch. At that point I was so hot and hungry I didn’t
start eating slow enough and managed to find out just how hot the soup really was.
With lunch over Kathy went back to
rearranging things and packing so we’ll hopefully spend less time at the RV
Dealership. I’d gone back outside to fold up the storage skirt that I’d left
for the sun to dry when suddenly it started raining fairly heavy so I was back
inside really quick. It only lasted enough to wet the entire patio.
At that point Kathy from her lack of
sleep and me from exposure to the excessive heat needed a quick Snap. Fifteen minutes later we were
back on the job Kathy inside and me outside. When I polished the Nose Cap of
the trailer the other evening the storage skirt was still in place and when I removed
it this morning you could easily see where I had not polished. An hour later
the entire front on the trailer was shiny.
When we’d had our break earlier I’d suggested
that I could grill something on the Weber for supper. As I finished the
polishing Kathy gave me some nice Salmon fillets to grill while she baked a
couple of smaller potatoes as well as cooking some baby carrots inside. It all
tasted great and was a refreshing meal.
On the 6 o’clock News they were showing that the slight shower we had turned
into a major downpour that lasted nearly an hour in Windsor. Guess we got lucky! They
also showed the Humidex at the
moment was 109 F (43 C) and it’ll get worse tomorrow.
I went back outside after the news to
first add more Gatorade to the
outside fridge, finish mounting the seven-point plug on the back bumper and to
rearrange the shed. By making more room in the shed I’m hoping to be able to
leave more things from the basement here to shorten our stay at the dealership.
Once the new trailer is back on our site I’ll be able to better organize the
basement and hopefully it won’t be so hot.
When I came in for the evening Kathy had
been talking to our good friends Vera and Bill and she told her about the new
trailer. It’s looking like we’re going to have to start schedule appointments
for everyone to see it. We both drank Sleepy
Time Tea tonight. Thanks for following along
and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
