Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
Once again it happened! I looked
at the clock to see what time it was this morning and after thinking it was a
perfect time to get up early my eyes blinked and the clock added more then an
hour to its reading. Knowing that Kathy had not slept well last night I busied
myself raising the Window Shades in the living area and getting things ready
for breakfast before turning on my Computer.
Busy getting caught up on
my reading I suddenly noticed that the clocks in this part of the trailer were
doing the same as the one in the bedroom and were moving much faster then what
they should be. Against my better judgement I turned the burner on the stove to
boil water for our morning Coffees.
It sounded more like a Gong echoing through
the trailer instantly waking Kathy. I didn’t even have the milk on our Cereal and Kathy was coming down the
stairs.
With breakfast out of the
way we were enjoying our morning Coffees
so much at the Computers that it was necessary to have
a second cup. We did our inside chores but for some reason the clocks were in
unison that we had missed our lunch.
Kathy thought that by
having Fettuccini Alfredo with Chopped Ham not only would we be
nourished but it would slow the clocks down. The meal was delicious and filling
giving us plenty of energy to see us through the rest of the afternoon.
As soon as we’d finished doing
the dishes Kathy got busy wrapping more of the Christmas Gifts that we’ll be giving out when we celebrate our Canadian Thanksgiving because we’ll be in the
southwest for the big day. Our daughter has renamed it Merry Thanksmas as a way of celebrating both occasions at once.
I went outside to work on
some electrical issues. The first was to check the Fuse for the Landing Gear.
I had complained to the service tech when it was in for the Warranty Repairs about it. When we got
it back he said he’d replaced the resettable fuse with a new one. Trying to
level our trailer on our site it seemed to kick out more much often then before.
When I opened the access hole I found a lower rated Fuse then what was there originally. After replacing it I had no
problem getting the trailer readjusted level.
When changing lanes while
towing it seems that many people can’t see the double set of Turn Signals on the rear of the trailer
so while at the Love’s
Fuel Center in Arizona we
purchased a pair of Marker/Signal Lamps.
I didn’t get a chance to work on them until after we were back here in McGregor.
That was when I discovered the new lamps needed a special plug in adapter that I
finally found at Bogar’s Truck Parts and Service. Once they were installed when
I went to test them they didn’t work. Finally having a chance to see what the
problem was I found that the Adapters
were wired differently then the Lamps. The wire colour was not leading to the
contact of the same colour. This not only caused the Fuses to blow but messed up the Relays. After connecting different coloured wires together, the Lights are now working the way they
should even though the relays are temporarily bypassed.
Kathy had managed to get
quite a few more Christmas Gifts wrapped but when
I asked what time it was she nearly went into shock because the clocks showed
it was nearly 6:00. This sounded like a conspiracy by the Clocks as if they were demonstrating that they could speed up at
any given time.
Stopping what we were doing
while I chopped an Acorn Squash in
half while Kathy breaded a couple of Chicken
Breasts with a Walnut Crumb Breading.
When I went outside to grill the Chicken
Breasts on the Grill Mat Kathy microwaved
first the Squash then some French Style Green Beans. We ended up
eating the Squash and Beans while they were hot because it
took longer for the Chicken to cook.
I think it was the Clocks messing
with the time needed for the Chicken to
be done. Everything tasted great just wish we could have ate it at the same
time.
Watching the 6 o’clock Local
News while supper was cooking the
only thing they were talking about was Hurricane
Irma hitting Florida and eventually heading north.
We were just getting
comfortable after reading some Blogs this
evening when I noticed it was past the time I normally write the Blog. Not only are the Clocks but the Calendar and the Counter on
our Sidebar conspiring against us as
well. Time is running faster then we can keep up and we have a lot to do. Thanks for following along and feel free
to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
