Car repair,emissions test on our coach on a cool spring day.

Where are we today ?

          Up early as usual and caught another beautiful sunrise right out our dining room window. This was the best part of the day.  After the sunrise, just a cool, overcast day temperature only got to 7 c (44f) with a 25 kph (15 mph) cold north wind. 
sunrise is beginning 
the WOW !
           Had our car at Pettigrew's garage for 8 am new o rings for our fuel injection, done in less than an hour and back home for bit. Headed into Baden, the Wilmot Rec Centre and got a few miles done on the indoor walking track. Then home for lunch.
         After lunch secured our coach and headed down the road 12 miles to Hickson Motors to get an E-test (emissions Test)= Money Grab. For 2 pm, this needs to be done every 2 years in Ontario in order to renew our vehicle license stickers. Yeah a $100. plus $13.00 tax money grab... ok needs to be done though.
nice country drive to Hickson 
this the place small town garage,
my kinda place
        While I did this Suzie took the car to her Dad's to help him with some printing and help him with his excel spreadsheet that he does for the Mennonite Relief sale setup in New Hamburg the last weekend in May every year.
        E-test done, back to camp awesome by 3:45 and all set up. Easy peasy it is. Chat for a while then time to whip up supper. Tonight gonna heat up some pork ribs I picked up on sale yesterday only $5.97 already cooked and in BBQ sauce almost half price and pretty good, we have had them in the past, just heat them up. I like to do them on the BBQ but was only 38f with a NE wind, the oven works great and we can use the heat inside today.
good deal,
we like good deals
ribs, sauerkraut and a salad,
oh so tasty
        Right after supper Suzie gave me a hand to load John's pickup and take another load to the burn pile. The branches that I cut up yesterday.   
        Was a good productive day and got things done that needed to be done. Just waiting t=for the weather to warm up a bit more and play outside a bit. The weather Gods have good predictions , lets see if they are right?
       Oh below is a pic of me grilling a chicken on our Weber Q in Marie and Frank's driveway in Aurora monday night. Another shot of me without my hat, feel naked... but at least I have my vest on.

  1. That sunrise was very impressive, George! I am sure your ribs are better, but who wants to fight that cold wind. Sunny cold and windy days here in Oregon as well, but sooner or later this cold springtime will turn to summer, at least I hope so for all of us.

    1. It just has everything I need in it, camera, keys, wallet, phone, cash, flash light, etc...
      Every time I don't put it on I need some thing that is in it, I don't like stuff in my pockets so this works
