Best in Show

Final Drive to TJ Workplace
For the last month (since Brian left for the NWT), Darlene and I have been driving TJ to work. At first, TJ was driving 1 way while we supervised as he had a learner’s permit. As soon as he got his license (first try), he was no longer able to drive our car because of insurance issues with the fact that he was under 25. Since then we have been driving him to/from work, with me (Don) taking the morning commute (6:15 am) and Darlene taking the evening drive (3:30 pm).
Today was the final day as Darlene took TJ to get his insurance for his car after they got back from work.
TJ’s First Car !
Trimming Carrie’s bushes
Today, after taking TJ to work, Darlene and I went over to Carrie’s and worked with her on her yard for most of the day, as there were some trees and bushes that needed trimming this year.
Final Motorhome prep work
There was a long list of items that have already been done for the trip but I had to go to Crystal Glass to see about fixing the rear bedroom window that shattered on me while trying to press window to adhesive I had applied to make inner & outer window stick together - They wanted 550 for a “temporary” fix!…. Needless to say, some silver metal tape worked a whole lot better!
We pulled in the kitchen and bedroom slides so the slide awnings could be taped for our journey across Canada, clean water added to tank, black/grey water flushed, batteries and tires checked.
The bikes were loaded onto the car and tarped down in case we get rain. In addition that, the lights trailer lights and solar battery charger were all set up for our trip.
