Last Sunday I got my new cargo wagon (pic below) and it has worked well for me so far! It is a long way from the Regal or the Gio to the apartment, and this definitely takes a load off...
Tuesday, I manged to arrange my airport rides for late on November 30, and the Feb 25 return. My usual ride is without a car, and most others won't drive at night...
Wednesday, I worked like heck on more photos for upload... I always have about a 2-year backlog ready and waiting.
And I got my final delivery from Temu. It included a supposedly leather-look long winter trench coat. It looks not bad, and it might stop the wind well, but the only liner is a thin nylon, so it is more for spring-fall use.
Thursday, I shopped online to find a good deal on the Cha-Cha sunflower seeds for pickup at WalMart. They are a Chinese product, but they are by far the best and cheapest when I find the sale. On the way there, I picked up a few items at Dollarama, especially a cloth bag that I secured over the rosbush by my car to help it survive the winter.
That evening, I was called to play cribbage with Rob, Marie and Marlene. We haven't played since spring and my decisions on my discards always were wrong... We lost 4-1, grrr, but it was fun to play again.
Today, a flash of light awoke me as my computer and monitor lit up, showing the time as 3:55am!!! It has never done that before and I worried that a hacker was at work! I researched online and they said it was just programs that had permission to awake the computer, and so I found out how to close them all off.
I worked on more photos, then watched Canada's men beat Guatemala 3-2 in soccer.
And, while I read my book, I had 2 bad Vincent Price movies playing in the background. I would rather have sports in the background!!
I was gratified to see one of our bunnies again next door... It is fun to see them survive in the city.
I am slowly gathering things to pack for trip south soon. The list is getting longer every day.
I talked with Bernie about removing my car battery again for the winter. The temperature is supposed to hover around freezing for the next few days, so any day is fine with me, We decided to wait around 10 days...
I still stress over that $405 rolling-stop ticket given to me by the Sherriffs. I am awaiting confirmation about whether they have jurisdiction to operate in the City, because there in nothing online. City Police are said to have the only power here. Every day, I think of sending the ticket to the Justice Minister for quashing on several grounds, not the least of which is that I am certain that the Sherriffs did the same offence through 2 stop signs to chase me...
I don't want to leave too many things to the last minute before I leave.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
