Family

We did get the new wheel seal then went to Calgary to get some past due warranty work done at the dealership then back here to St. Albert.

Chris was passing through town so he stayed at the campground for a couple of nights.

Peg decided she wanted a get together but with the unpredictable weather we had a BBQ at Wendy's house rather than at the coach.

Jeff had some news for us: the shit head won a new Harley.He didn't have it with him cause it was just delivered and not insured yet.I guess he was at a Quad rally and bought a burger and a ticket for $20.00.
Lucky Bastard.

Jodi and Dean were there too.Dean did not win a Harley but he already has one.

Then there were "the fancies",They went to a wedding.











The weather did hold out so the BBQ was a success and there were no family feuds.
We are just trying to get things settled so we can head to Whitecourt for the long weekend.
Note that we have also had a couple of great days of weather.Wow!

Footnote

The good news is we did not have to pay the bill for the tow trucks.

The Kinsmen Club of St. Albert paid but I think they are submitting it to The City of St. Albert.

What a Country.

We also had a day of sunshine and warmth but here we are back to crappy weather again.The weather around here totally sucks.

PS - ONLY 6 MONTHS TODAY TILL CHRISTMAS

Still Kicking

Yup,we are still kicking and still in St. Albert.
Supposed to go to Whitecourt this weekend but that's not going to happen.

I had to take the bus into get a new wheel seal installed(warranty) on Wed.

 After seeing my neighbour get stuck trying to get out of his spot in the campground on Tuesday,I decided to try and move our rig.

Big Mistake

As soon as I moved the coach 1 ft the front tires buried in the mud and gravel.

The tow truck that pulled out the 5r and truck said he would not touch it and said call cliff's Towing.

So along comes Cliff's.

This guy spent 1/2 hr on the phone and decided he should call a bigger truck.

A bigger truck.

This guy sees that the front end is sitting on the ground and there is no way of getting under it and no way of towing it.

They have air bags to lift it but there is no way of getting the air bags under it.

He decides to call another big truck.

So now we have 2  Trucks

We also have some ingenuity. 

One truck on either side with a strop through a wheel hole held in place by a piece of metal(looked like a wrist pin out of a large engine.

They are positioned ahead of the coach and now they lift,while I keep my foot on the brake.

After they lift the front,they fill in the holes.

I slowly release the brake and we roll forward.

Once we have cleared the front tires of the soft stuff,they lower me and I drive it out.

Cool EH!

Rain

So here we are about a week later and oh how we are making up for the lack of rain.I guess it is good for the fires and the farmers so we are glad for that.

Peg will be returning today after her 10 day trip.Well she calls it 10 days but she left very early in the morning and returns at night and 13 days have past.But who am I to question her counting,after all she is the accountant not me.

It will be nice to have her home and maybe she will bring some of that Ontario sunshine with her.

The condo is coming along but not nearly as fast as planned.Got the appliances but of course the dishwasher hook-ups are all different.Went to install the new crapper and of course water line is different.
I thought me going up and down those stairs all the time was doing me good but apparently not.Seems that's part of the problem with my knee which kept me immobile for a couple of days.

Oh well,life goes on and we are on the right side of the grass.
