Just another busy day getting stuff done.

Where are we today ?
        Cool night again, great for sleeping and another nice sunrise this morning. At the garage for 8 am to get the rear tires on the car balanced (getting new front tires soon). Picked up some groceries in New Hamburg, then into Kitchener and Waterloo to run a few errands. Got an anti-virus program for Suzie's Pc at Staples then stopped at the Apple store in Waterloo to get a new battery for my Macbook Pro. Its over 5 years old, working great but the battery needs replacing. 
Nice Apple store in Waterloo
        Very busy here but the service is very efficient. Waited a few minutes, had my Mac Book checked out was given a quote and pick up time less than two hours. Just enough time to make a few more stops in town. Get Ma over to pick up her car that has now been repaired, new brake lines and front end parts. Her internet is now working, but a slight issue with her email, will work on that tomorrow, still have things to do.
lots of new Apple products here to try out
         Picked up my Mac, good as new, then back home shortly after 3:30. Dogs here waiting for Suzie to get out for a run.
Buddy and Molly waiting for us
after their run they get a treat
               While she was doing this I fired up our Weber Q and grilled a fresh Turkey Breast, cauliflower in foil and some yellow pepper pieces.
about and hour on the Q and done to perfection
          Added that to another tasty salad and we had an early supper. Lotsa leftover turkey for sandwiches and maybe even a couple bowls of soup, when I have time.
yummy
          Supper done then to the Arena in town shortly after 5 o'clock. Grandson number one has another tryout that placed him on the house league.
        Then from 7 till 8 grandson number four has his first exhibition game. They played quite well but were defeated 3 to1. Pretty good hockey for these little guys.
         After three hours in the arena and some great hockey, time to head home, post this blog and call it a night. Tomorrow run into Waterloo again, and put a few more things together.
         Thanks for taking a peek again and hope you had a wonderful day too.

    1. The Apple store prices are the same USA and Canada, so actually cheaper in Canadian funds. My particular Mac Book pro, is not an easy one to replace the battery, I check on line and a some computer techies I know and they recommend that I take it right to Apple, Safer that way.

  3. You are pretty busy. You sound like us except we're going to soccer games instead of hockey.

  4. You crack me up the way you call the kids...grandson number one, grandson number four. But you are right to do that. If you called them by name, I would probably get more confused. By the way, congratulations to grandson number one!

    1. Thank for the congratulations.
      That gets around the privacy issues, no names and no close up pictures. And keeps everything in order.

  7. So far no sports to see with the grands here. So we aren't near as busy as you are. Thank goodness. Glad the Mac is back in shape for boondocking.
