Not much going on setting uo my new I-phone, and getting our sewage taken care of.

Where are we today ?
Clic a pic to enlarge it
     Another great nights sleep in (cold) paradise, but we were comfy. After the coffees and computing I took a country drive into Plattsville, checking out the area we like to park at our friends place we call (Camp Awesome). The road is open now (trees were down and electric wires as well) But there is still too much snow there for us to get the coach in. We will soon need propane and would like to fill up the coach when we relocate. Other option is to use our extend-a-stay option using an external propane tank. Which we have done before.
       We also need to dump our sewage in a few days. So checked with George (M&G Potables) about pumping us out. George is also a blog follower.  To see what his schedule is like, well he can do it today or next Wednesday, next week is probably too late so he came this morning. He comes and pumps us our for $20.00 our we can drive 30 miles each way to a dump station this makes more sense and is cost effective to have him come here. Still have a few more appointments in this area and also waiting to hear about the body work on our coach.
here comes George to pump us out
not long and he is done,
we good now for another 10 days or so
Thanks George !
this be his truck this year
    The driveway here is thawing out but muddy, but no snow and ice, soon will be green again and the maple trees growing , be in the shade here.
looks better than 2 days ago
        After lunch I made a quick trip to New Hamburg and picked up a protective case for my I-phone and  back home to continue setting up my new phone (with Suzie's help of course) and get familiar with it. Install a few free apps that I like (it is very similar to my android trac phone I use in the states. Now I  have one nice phone to use in both countries and a good deal on data for our computers as well. I made a mistake yesterday in my posting, we only opted out for 15 gb of data a month (not 17) seeing as we almost got by with 10 gb before, but we can change this at any time.
we almost good here now
          Temperature has been about 40 F  (+4C) most of the day but no sunshine so the snow is very slowly melting.  The forecast for the next week looks promising so maybe we might see nice spring weather yet! So because the east wind has changed and temperature has risen we can now open our slide giving more living space inside nice !
     Supper tonight a couple of Cod Fish fillets bake in the oven to go with our tasty salad, Nice and light and very filling.
tasty supper tonight
     That was our laid back day , no time to read and not great walking weather ( did get one mile in though) but we did spend the time productively getting our new I-phone systems all set up, perfect weather for it.
    Thanks for dropping on by and hopefully your weather systems are improving just like ours are.

  1. That is a very handy service from M&G P. Now if you could have your propane delivered too you'd be set for a while. That deal for your iPhone sounds interesting. Would you care to share costs?
    It looks like spring will arrive on Monday. Get ready everyone!

    1. Yes George from M&G has treated us wonderfully for years, we probably could have the propane delivered if we were really stuck but I have the fittings to hook up an external BBQ tank no problem.
      Not sure of the cost that is Suzie's department and she sleeping, She just said it would cost us $25.00 a month more than we were paying before,for better phone service in Canada and the US (unlimited calling and texting) and 15 GB of data a month compared to 10 gb we had before.
      We ready for spring again !

  3. Hey George and Susie ... things are looking a bit chilly over your way. Your winter is going on forever, aye? So is our summer. Roll on spring for you and autumn for us! Just wanted to let you know that I’m still thinking of you even though I’m not around much.

    1. Hey Charlie sure nice to hear from you again, been wondering what you been up to down under.
      Yes our winter is going forever, now if it was summer going forever that would be wonderful.
      Thanks for stopping by and hope you and your secretary are doing well.

  4. Nice to have George's service. Much handier than moving to have it done.
    The weather is definitely looking promising, I feel the vibes! :)
    Enjoy the next few days watching the snow melt. Spring is just around the corner!

    1. It is nice to have George do this for us, especially when we have to travel so far from here to a dump station.
      Yes it is going to warm up and melt this whole stuff for us. Nice to see the sunshine this morning here too.

    1. Yes melting and drying out would be nice.
      The phone and plan I think will work well for us, so far so good.

  7. Well spent $20.00 I would say! I know if we had that done here in the states it would be more than that! Sounds like you're enjoying your new phone. Dinner looks delicious once again, but I know you'll be looking forward to the Weber Q..soon!

    1. We think so, Bill and Patsy have a very similar plan since last year and seemed to work well for them.
      The new phone is handy and sure hope we can get our Weber Q out again soon once it warms up a bit . get more propane and more electrical power will help

  8. Looking better around the coach, mud isn't nice but nicer than snow. Glad George could come to help in the situation. Wouldn't be nice driving to dump on those roads. Enjoy the new phone.
    Stay warm and dry.

    1. The snow is going away and the mud with soon dry up. George has been pumping us out for a few years when we are in the area a real bonus. The roads are good now but not cost effective to drive tan pay to dump.
      Liking my new phone and more data.

  9. Well I guess the roads are looking better but what a mess. Hopefully someone can come and deliver you the propane that you need. You certainly could use it. Worth a few extra dollars in my opinion.

    Could you please post the link to you Bell data package? I was not able to find it.

    1. The roads are good now no problems. I just filled a BBQ tank they have here and hooked it up to our extend a stay that I install many years ago, works well. We will be outta here in a week or so anyway so no big deal.
      Suzie will let you know tomorrow when she turns her computer on, how she found the deal with the Bell phones and data.May not be a great deal for you not spending much time in the states.
