Hot, hot, hot...!

We finally have a summer heat wave going on here in Eastern Ontario! Temperature today was around 34 C (93 F) which is nice and warm.

Happy Fourth of July!

I am proudly wearing my United States of America t-shirt in support of all of our American friends who are celebrating Independence Day today!

Adsense update

We made $33.03 from our adsense in the month of June. Some days (like yesterday) nobody visits a link to our advertisers sites.

Well that was a productive day

I finally had a day off yesterday! So I made good use of it and did some more work to Sherman. At least when I'm working on Sherman, I can take my time and just putter along.

Canadian Tire

I learned something about Canadian Tire yesterday. They have a fantastic "price match" deal. Of course Americans can't take advantage of this unless they are visiting Canada, but for our Canadian readers, I hope you can benefit from our experience yesterday.

RV accidents

I saw somebody's post on the http://www.rv.net/ forum where the person had driven their motorhome somewhere they shouldn't have, and took out their roof air conditioner. We've never had any kind of serious accident with the motorhome, but we've had a few minor ones...

The housing bubble is alive and well here in Canada

We sold our house in September of 2007 for $241,000. At the time, I thought that was ridiculously high. How could a basic end unit townhouse be worth that much money? I figured we were getting out near the top of the market, but almost 3 years later I think it would sell now for close to $275,000.

Re-posting old posts

Kevin has already mentioned in the past that I am slowly (slowly being a key word) reposting our older posts from our previous trip journal site.  Well I just finished doing June of 2008.  I am working backwards so that means I still have May back to Jan. 2008 and Dec. back to Oct. 2007.  It will be nice to have all the travel posts on one blog.

Duck hunting

I'm not a hunter... not even close. I have no ambition to kill anything. Well, except for maybe the guy who was tailgating me all the way back to Kingston today. Anyhow, I saw something today that made me think about hunting. Sort of.

RV cleaning products

At the RV place where I run the parts department, we sell a line of Canadian made RV products. Actually, they're made in Quebec, so they're not really Canadian made. :-) I don't think they sell them in the U.S. yet, which is too bad because they have some fantastic products.

Visiting my sister and a long walk.

On Sunday, I finished up worked at 1pm and went back to Sherman and my Dad to get some lunch and then we were heading off to Dundas which is the other side of Toronto and very close to Hamilton.

Stick-On-States

A lot of people like those stick on maps that you attach to the side of your RV and then put the sticker of every state that you visit onto the map.

Busy 24 hours

Friday night, we were invited over to friends for dinner. It was about a 20 minute drive, and we knew we would have a beverage or two, so we arranged to sleep in their tent trailer for the night, rather than having to drive home.

Solar, batteries, and inverter...works great!

 I didn't work at the RV place today because I was asked to do the morning drive for the blood courier as well as the afternoon. I didn't mind...it was a beautiful day for driving. And it meant I had almost two hours for lunch...and because it was a bright sunny day, I decided to test Sherman's new inverter setup.

What an icky day!

The weather today is so totally different from yesterday.  Yesterday was beautiful, a little on the breezy side but none the less beautiful.  Today on the other hand started out overcast and the rain held off until lunch time then it came down in buckets.  So Whiskey and I stayed inside this afternoon and worked on pictures and made enough yummy split pea and ham soup for lunch tomorrow and the next day and probably the next.
