July 3 to 9, 2011

Sunday ; Bad cold !

Monday ; Bad cold ! Gave Bo a haircut. Gave Bo a bath !

Tuesday ; Not as bad cold !

Wednesday ; Health improving slowly. Joanne spent the day in Penticton running errands. I stayed home and worked on Similkameen Day Tours marketing. And enjoying the lovely weather, spending part of the afternoon in the gazebo with Sully and Bo, reading and recuperating.

Thursday ; Big hailstorm today ! ! !

Saturday ; Today was a looooong, sour day of delivering rental trailers. Our first pick up was a travel trailer at Gallagher Lake. We had delivered it there last Saturday. There was a plugged sewer line in the campground, and when I was emptying and disconnecting the trailer's sewage hose, there was an ... "incident" ! ! ! Raw sewage all over the ground ... all over my shoes, my knees, my gloves. I was not very pleased ! ! ! And it caused us quite a delay. We took that trailer to the Osoyoos storage yard to be cleaned and prepared to be sent back out in the afternoon. Our next trailer was supposed to be waiting for us in the Osoyoos yard. BUT ... there was some confusion or misunderstanding or something ... < fume > ... and it was actually sitting in the Summerland yard. Driving empty from the Osoyoos yard to the Summerland yard to pick up the trailer, and then driving it back to Osoyoos to deliver it to NK'MIP Campground added three hours to our work day. Again, I was not very pleased. Our work day started at 8:30 AM and ended at 7:15 PM ! Our last delivery of the day was "late". Fortunately the customer was patient and forgiving. And ... while connecting that last trailer's electrical cord to the utility pedestal ... I got stung by a wasp / hornet. There was a wasp / hornet nest underneath the lid of the utility pedestal. Not a great day ! ! !
