View of the day-We have taken over the front yard of the campground, plenty of fixing to do before we get fired up.It was cloudy and humid for most of the days…and the flies were biting, a sure sign of things to come. We went down to Miss Dotties for eggs, then brought the Freightliner back to the yard so Al could get the leaky air hose removed to try and find a replacement. Marilyn got the bucket out and started to give the camper a wash from the all the mud that had coated it at Yorkton and Carlyle. Since she had the bucket out, Al brought the pickup over and we gave it a swish, too.
The next thing on the agenda for Marilyn was to see if there was a way to get cell service…”call back in 24 to 48 hours, please”. We went to the local cell provider and they couldn’t help us either, but after taking a chance and calling on the Tracfone to a local number, there was success. Well, one phone works, at least.
Al went out to get the brakes set up on the General and Marilyn had the task of getting the satellite dish aimed and hooked into the camper. We had some issues back at home when we tried to run the cables through the provided hook-ups and we just ran it through the window so Al could test out the TV watching hockey. The bedroom and the downstairs both have two satellite inputs, but only one of them works on each bank…and we discovered through teamwork that they had been labelled wrong. Once we had signal to both receivers…BAM…Al was watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Marilyn, on the other hand, will be going to Alva to finally get some shopping done…
