Why
is it that when you really want to get things done early in the day
that is the morning you sleep in. We both got up around 8:30 this
morning even though we managed to get to bed earlier last night. By
the time we ate breakfast, drank our Coffee/Tea at the
Computers and checked just the necessities it was after 11:00
by the time we headed out the door. Some of those necessities
included looking inside the Fridge to see what we could eat
for lunch other then Soup. Finding nothing that could be
cooked in Ten Minutes or less we opted to have lunch out.
Our
first stop was Harvey’s where
we were able to save some cash by using a Coupon. We had their
Angus Beef Burgers with Onion Rings and Soft Drinks.
We
were within a Thousand Feet of our destination when our Truck
decided it was time to begin a Regen. Anyone with a Newer
Diesel knows that when the Regen process starts you just
have to keep driving or your Diesel Particulate
Filter will plug up and you will be stranded by the roadside.
Kathy insisted that I run it even though we were not on the Highway
the County Roads and non-stop stretches helped the Truck
clean its Filter.
We
arrived at the Trailer in the Guardian
Storage yard just before noon. Since it was so cold I
turned the Propane Tanks on before going inside. As soon as we
had the One Slide opened and I connected the Blue Flame
Heater then Tried and Tried and Tried to get
the Pilot to light but nothing. The Cook Stove lit
immediately but not the Blue Flame Heater.
We
started packing our Clothes from the Cabinet and the
Closet but after a while we were so cold it was getting
uncomfortable to work. I tried lighting the Blue Flame again
with repeated frustration as it failed to light. After covering the
Summer Clothes we had on Hangers with Large Plastic
Bags I loaded them in the Truck.
We
were practically frozen so decided that we needed to warm up. We
drove to the new Tim Horton’s
not far away. The hot Coffees along with their seasonal
Reindeer Donuts did the trick to get the chill out of our bodies
and re-energize us.
Going
to our Climate Controlled Storage Unit we were able to use the
empty space on our Clothing Racks to add the Summer Clothes
we had just taken from the Trailer. While we were at it we
gathered the last of the Empty Storage Bins from our Storage
Unit so we could continue packing.

Back
inside the Trailer the Blue Flame Heater still refused
to Light. That’s what I get for making certain to drain the
Propane Lines when I winterized the Trailer. We did
managed to load more Containers of Winter Clothes in
the Truck before we just could not take the cold anymore.
Maybe by leaving the Propane Tank turned on overnight it will
light the next time we are there.
After
closing up the Trailer we headed for the Apartment but
realized we didn’t have anything to cook there either. When I
suggested trying to duplicate the Pizza that we had Thirty
Days ago Kathy was game.
We
stopped at Domino’s Pizza and
while Kathy stayed in the Truck I placed our order. A Crispy Thin
Crust with Mushrooms, Onions, Green Olives,
Black Olives, Tomatoes, Red Peppers and Bacon.
While it was cooking I checked out their menu and found I could have
gotten a Vegetarian Pizza with more on it and simply added
Bacon to it at a lower price.
Back
in the Apartment we enjoyed our second meal of the day and we were
not stuffed by a lot of bread. With no Shopping Carts
downstairs I hand carried the Storage Bins upstairs via the
Elevator.
We
took the time to watch the 6 o’clock Local News before
heading out again. We went to a nearby No-Frills
to get the Groceries on our List. This store
did not have Half of what the Amherstburg
or Essex locations carried. We
then stopped at a Metro grocery
store and got a few more items. By this time Kathy was feeling worn
out so we headed back to the Apartment. We had brought our Two
Wheel Shopping Cart so there was no problem getting everything
upstairs.
With
everything put away we watched yet another Hallmark
Christmas Movie.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be
Safe and Enjoy!
It’s
about time.

Packing in that cold trailer does not sound like fun. Hope you get the blue flame working next time. The cactus is really pretty. We are at Quartzsite and drove by the VFW today...miss you two.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are always on the go. I am glad you get to relax and watch the Hallmark Channel.
ReplyDeleteDoesn’t your 5th wheel come with heat/air thermostat so you can use the force air propane to heat your rig? I agree packing in a cold trailer is no fun.
ReplyDeleteWhen reconnecting our Blue Flame heater, I usually have to hold down the pilot button for a full minute and sometimes more, before hitting the light button. Also, if you haven't cleaned the slots where the flame burns, can cause problems. By removing the 4 screws that hold all the black metal at the front of the heater. you can get at all those flame slots. Open them up with a old tooth brush or exacto blade. Good luck with getting it going again.
ReplyDeleteOh that doesn't sound like fun. I hate being cold!! Lunch and dinner out? What could be better? No cooking!!!
ReplyDeleteYour cactus is beautiful. I never had a white one. I did have a lovely deep pink one that I kept for many many years and it always bloomed at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get your blue flame heater to light..gotta be something easy! Love the Hallmark channel, especially this time of year..hubby, not so much :)
ReplyDeleteNice looking Christmas Cactus! We sometimes order a vegetarian pizza with 'Canadian' bacon.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a white Christmas cactus before.
