We would like to thank everyone for their Anniversary Wishes on our very special day. Even though it
was extremely Hot yesterday we enjoyed
just being together and spent a lot of time outside dealing with the Cars. Combine all that and we both
slept like a couple of rocks.
By
9:00 this morning the Humidex was
already 102 F (39 C) so after completing our morning reading on the Computers we busied ourselves getting
some inside chores completed. With the entire Transient Area filled there was no way I was going to
attempt to do any laundry today but that didn’t mean that I couldn’t get ready
for it. I changed the bed linens to the new Bamboo Sheets we recently purchased. Just handling them while I made
the bed told me they will be extremely comfortable.
After
getting the second set of Eyedrops
in Kathy’s eyes this afternoon, I walked down to the Trash and Recycle Area before starting to work on our new Car. It did take longer than I expected
because most of the Seasonal Campers
and Transients were outside
celebrating Canada Day. With all the people we know they all
wanted to ask how Kathy’s eyes were doing. Even after that short time outside
walking in the Sun I needed to cool
down before going outside again.
Yesterday
on our way Home with our New 2015 Car we picked up so accessories at Canadian Tire. This afternoon I installed the Ergonomic Steering Wheel Cover, the Seat Covers and the Floor
Mats to protect the carpeting from dirty shoes. We’d also purchased a small
Waste Basket but it is too large for
the back seat.
With
that completed and another brief cool down inside I installed the Pizza Stone on our Weber and fired it up. With a Humidex
of 113 F (45 C) it didn’t take long for it to warm up as a fact our Store-Bought Pizza was cooked to
perfection in Twenty Minutes. Still
trying to eat lighter we only ate half and saved the other for tomorrow’s
lunch.
We
enjoyed another Walmart movie this evening but were starting to
feel closed in. Even with the warm breeze under the Gazebo it felt better inside so we went for a drive to Essex. If you recall in yesterday’s Blog that this vehicle has a
lot of New Electronic Changes that
we are unfamiliar with. One of those is the installation of the Wiper Control Switch to the right of
the Steering Column. As we were
leaving I accidently touched it and the Wipers
started going and there wasn’t a Cloud in
the Sky. I thought I shut it off
only to look in the Rear-View Mirror
to see the Rear Wiper going. We had
to pull over until we could figure out how to shut them off. It resembled
something in a Comedy Show.
We stopped
at McDonalds to have an Ice Cream Cone to help us cool down. We then drove around the town
and taking a different backroad that we were unfamiliar with started heading
west. We actually drove through a small settlement that we’ve both heard about
but didn’t realize it was so close.
We
don’t mind the warmth but this high heat can settle down anytime soon. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave
a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

It's good you have a nice cool car to drive around in. We have probably ALL turned on the wipers and not known how to turn them off. It's the rear one I can never find the switch for!!
ReplyDeleteI love your car! I get ya about the wipers or sometimes I do the lights instead of the wipers..just takes some getting used to. Happy Canada Day.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the Escape! It seems it was time for both of us to upgrade vehicles. We love our suv too!
ReplyDeleteStay cool!
