West Hawk Lake day 27 of 113

DAY 361

 

Another grey, dreary day, with light, misty rain for most of the day.

This morning I felt too lethargic to do anything other than read a book and drink coffee. I'm starting to feel sun light deprived. I wandered down to the campground office and chatted with Carol for awhile. I walked Bo. We had lunch. I read some more, until I fell asleep again. I sleep. It rains. I read. It rains more. I sleep more. It rains more. I read more.

This afternoon I took Bo for another walk. He had his nose down to the ground sniffing, and didn't even notice a young buck deer walking by us about 50 feet away. I went to the office, plugged into the fax machine phone line, retrieved e-mail, and updated my blog. I did my regular daily preventive maintenance, which on Mondays is checking truck tire air pressures. DAMN ! The inside rear tire on the driver's side was flat. I changed the tire. I have had to remove and reinstall the rear dually tires so often, for one reason or another in the last year, I have come to really hate that job. After getting the spare and outside rear tires back on, I suspected a faulty valve extension was the problem. I drove over to Keystone Cottages and filled the flat tire with air. I'll know in the morning whether the valve extension was the problem or not. During the time I was working on changing the tire, I assisted 3 late arriving campers find a suitable site, and get set up.

We had supper. Yuck ! Not Joanne's finest. We watched a movie on CBC. I watched the news while Joanne went to shower. We have to leave fairly early in the morning for her appointment at Kenora Hospital.
