Sunday ; Well, we're home ! The weather today was sunny and mild.
This past winter season … 180 days out of Canada … we travelled about 13,000 km. / 8000 miles, about the same as the previous two winter seasons. The lowest diesel price was $3.679 in Yuma, Arizona in December and January. The highest diesel price was almost a month ago, $4.79 in California.
We spent much of today getting "long term" set up in our site. Getting set up in our site here in the spring is much more complex than getting set up in a campsite that we're staying at for one night or one week. Joanne went to town and did some produce and grocery shopping. She had a phone call with her sister. She did laundry. We visited with neighbours. In the evening we watched Amazing Race and Celebrity Apprentice.
It's good to be "home" ... I guess. After five years of summertime living in this "weed infested rock pile" of an RV park development, we're disappointed that there are still about 50 unsold, vacant, and undeveloped lots in this park, and the soap opera politics and drama persist.
Monday ; Today was cloudy and chilly, with intermittent light rain. I hate this kind of cold, wet, spring weather.
Today was another day of "return home" chores.
Tuesday ; Cold and wet ! YUCK !
Wednesday ; A bit of sun today, and a bit warmer, but not much of either.
Thursday ; BRRRRR ... very cold !
Poor Bo ! Two wood ticks in two days !
Friday ; Still cold and wet ! Still disgusted !
Ran some errands in Keremeos this morning. Went to Cawston to find start and end points of my stint as Rick Hansen "Man In Motion" 25th Anniversary Relay Medal Bearer next Wednesday. Feel very proud and honoured to be selected as medal bearer. Drove to Penticton to run more errands before heading to South Okanagan Event Centre for first annual BC Interior RV Show.
Right ! Really nice 3/4 million dollar class A motorhomes. Just what everybody needs to go schlepping around Mexico ! RV designers seem to get more out of touch with reality every year. These rigs would rattle apart if ever driven on anything other than an Interstate ! All flash, no substance !
There were a couple of automotive dealers at the show. When did one ton diesel duallies surpass $80,000 in price ? ! ?
WHAT ? ! ? B.B. King is in Penticton next Saturday ? ! ? WOO-HOO ! Yes, yes ... bought a ticket ! Just one, Joanne doesn't want to go.
Saturday ; Happy 11th Birthday to Joanne's niece Amelia
Still cold and wet < sigh > ! I mean the weather in Keremeos, not Amelia ! HA HA HA !
