Another Hot Day, Going Through Our STUFF and Getting Errands Run.

Our Location today is at McGregor, Ontario, Canada.

If we are Retired and have no place special to run off to then why are we waking up so early in the morning? Being up before 7:00 in the morning is not a necessary part of our lives anymore. After all the Window Shades were up and breakfast was one step away from being served I was busy reading at the Computer when Kathy came downstairs at 7:20. That meant that we would be able to enjoy the cooler part of the day. 

There's a storm somewhere in those Clouds.

Once we’d finished breakfast and our Coffees at the Computers I did my inside chores before heading outside to service our Waste Tanks. The Humidex at 10:00 was only 104 F (40 C) but staying in the shade of the trailer where there was a slight breeze helped a lot. I have personally noted that after the Black Tank has been emptied that by using the Pressure Sprayer inside that tank, it doesn’t clean out as much waste as it does when using the Grey Waste to flood the Tank. By flooding the Tank and letting it sit for a short while, it will loosen the dried waste, allowing it to be removed. By the time I’ve flooded the Tank Twice, the water is mostly coming out clear.

then a Mandarin Orange for dessert.

Kathy wanted to do something today but wasn’t sure what. She has been saying that she wanted to start going through our STUFF in our Storage Unit and to find some Merry Thanksmas Gifts that will have to be given at the end of August. She also had some paperwork that needed to be filed as well as cleaning out older files that are no longer needed. With that in mind we packed a cooler with refreshments and an Ice Pack before having our lunch. 

Not as cloudy at Guardian Storage.

Taking the Escape, we arrived at Guardian Storage before 1:00 and walked out with a small bundle of Mail. Then we drove back to our Climate Control Storage Unit where we planned on taking things from there to our daughter Karen’s house where she is planning a Yard Sale later this month. We spent the next couple of hours in 70 F (21 C) comfort sorting things out. Then the fun started while I packed the Escape with things for the Yard Sale out in the 113 F (45 C) Humidex. I gave Kathy the job of handling the door so she wasn’t getting too hot.

We made a stop at the Service Ontario building for some Information before arriving at Karen’s shortly after 3:00 and piled things in the corner of the garage. Some was from our House that had been used in our Apartment and we can’t see using it in the future. We also made arrangements with Greg to change the Car’s Ownership to his name on Friday.

After leaving there, we were going to walk around Walmart but we remembered we needed to go to Vehicle Venture. We ordered Window Rain-Guards for the Escape. We’ve had them on Three Vehicles and find them handy. We can leave the Windows slightly down so it doesn’t get so Hot inside as well as keeping the Rain out. 

Our next stop was at Canadian Tire where we returned the Trash Container for Cars and picked up two smaller sized ones.

It was then past 5:00 and we didn’t feel like fighting Rush-Hour Traffic only to get Home and have to cook supper. We stopped at Wendy’s and ordered a couple of Chicken Wraps off the Value Menu, Two Small Frosties and a couple of Senior’s Soft Drinks all for $7.20. They tasted great, weren’t overfilling and didn’t break the bank.

Looking at The Weather Network this evening I was a little surprised to see it cooler in Quartzsite then here in McGregor. Tomorrow there’s a good chance we might get some badly needed Rain that will cool us down for a few days. If you thought we were busy today wait until you see what happens on Friday. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

they go stark raving mad.
