Doing The Stress Test, Adding To Chores and Great Tasting Meals.

Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario, Canada.

Last night we both managed to sleep like a couple of rocks and since we tend to get to bed later the same held true for our getting up. When we opened our eyes this morning there didn’t seem to be any light shining around the windows. The minute we opened the Window Shades and saw the heavy cloud covered sky and the Flag across the street moving rapidly we knew why.

After having our breakfast we settled in at the Computers getting caught up on a number of things before getting ourselves ready to face the day. We watched as the wind increased gusting to Twenty-Five MPH but the Sun finally made an appearance through the clouds just before we sat down for lunch. 

For our lunch today we had Leftovers. Leftover Chicken Vegetable Soup that Kathy made for lunch yesterday and Leftover Croissants that Melissa sent Home with us last night. Kathy added a bit of Leftover Jam to dress them up for taste.

The other night when we spoke to our good friends Elain and Rick from the Blog E & R’s Travels. Since they work for one of the better RV Dealerships in New Brunswick they gave us a little assignment to test the severity of the Structural Problem we are having with our trailer. Due to all the Rain that our area had and other things that needed to be done we never got around to doing it.

After moving the car over to a neighbour’s site that hasn’t been here all season we connected the truck to the trailer and lifted the landing gear. The idea was by adding weight on the Pinbox if it was the Main Frame that was failing the crack would have opened up considerably.  The effect to the crack in our sidewall was unchanging meaning our Main Frame is solid. If there is a Structural Problem it is in the Upper Aluminium Frame that RV Manufactures use to keep the weight down in the RVs they produce. Once our test was completed and the trailer unhooked and stabilized we each went about getting to other chores we need to do. 

The crack in the outer skin did not change through the test.

Kathy went inside and started chopping Vegetables that she wanted to use for a Stir Fry for supper tonight. After chopping all the ingredients she put them in Storage Containers so they would be cooked fresh for supper. She also made a Waldorf Salad that contains Fruit and Marshmallows. It’s a tasty treat that is healthy and low in Calories.

I checked out a number of things that need to be taken care of before we head south in less then Nine Weeks. Until I reload our basement with everything we will be carrying it will be difficult to accomplish anything and the To-Do List seemed to grow longer today. 

When it came time to have supper Kathy was in her glory filling the trailer with an aroma that will tantalize me for days. It tasted wonderful and like the Soup from yesterday there’s more for another meal. As for the Waldorf Salad there’s enough for a few more meals.

With the rising cost of Gas and Diesel due to Hurricane Harvey we’ll maximize any running around we do for a while to make it last longer. The price will probably go down in another month. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
