Hey guess what? Its snowing, we are not really surprised, glad I am off the road with our house.

Where are we today ?

New Hamburg Ontario

      Looks like I got here just in time, a bit more snow overnight and the car was covered in it this morning. Think is the first winter our poor car has had to be driven in this type of winter weather 13 years old and was still like new underneath. Mind you I have had it oil sprayed 3 times, and it is still seeping so that will help and the body panels are plastic.
        We we unhooked the car yesterday Suzie moved the driver's seat all the way forward and now it would not move back. Really much to cold outside for me to get on the ground and check things out. -7f (-21c) with the wind chill factor. 

so got my snow brush out of the trunk,
(yes I kept it)

       This morning I headed the 20 minute drive into Plattsville, visit my favorite mechanic, Dale at Pettigrew's garage for 8 am.

blowing a bit with a couple inches of snow

          Headed into town past "Camp Awesome". Hmm no parking there right now too much snow!

"camp awesome" is awesomer in the summer

          Now Dale had 2 cars in the bays was able to let me pull in beside one on the hoist. I proceeded to find the problem, a broken wire that releases the divers seat to adjust it. No problem right? Well here I am for a good 30 minutes trying to see under the seat, upside down. But with trifocals it's almost impossible to focus on things up real close. I asked if he had time to take a look. No problem he was doing a brake job on a car and having to wait for parts anyway. Within a few minutes he fabricated a new wire, hooked it up and now I can adjust the seat and drive the car safely without my knees touching my chin.

much warmer here in the garage

      Next over to our coach and picked up a few more items on our list. We have the fridge turned off, but it was not as cold as it should be. So I emptied it and took it back to her Dad's place, filled the empty fridge and freezer in the basement kitchen.

her we are parked for a while I think

               When I got back a very nice neighbor lady had used her snow blower to clean out the driveway and sidewalks. Suzie had taken here Dad to visit her mom at the Stratford hospital and had a nice visit and lunch with her.

the snow is beginning to pile up

just looking down the street, looks so pretty right?
not.

snow hanging over the front door

       While they were gone I got a few things done here and whipped up supper. Left over pork and veggies, add some gravy a slice of bread and a salad. Hit the spot with a tasty hot pork sandwich. Missing my Weber Q right now but will not be too long before I get it here and be grilling.

yummy

              Was asked yesterday what my fuel  expenses were for the trip back from California.  Here's what I have. total distance 3,050 miles. Fuel cost was $903.65 for gas average about 7 mpg with and average speed of 65 mph, 36 ft coach towing our saturn, I was not wasting anytime, just wanted to get home safely. I choose this longer route because of the weather forecasts and was really glad I did. Had great weather, though some very cold days, dry roads, sunshine and no wind. I could not have come home sooner because of bad weather, and yesterday was a perfect day to arrive, some snow and freezing rain in the areas I just came through.
           Wanna thank everyone again for being with me on my journey.
           Now gonna do what we need to do and enjoy the great Canadian White North. While reading the blogs of fellow rver's enjoy the wonderful warm southern weather.
           Hope you had a wonderful day too.
