We arrived back in the Shuswap yesterday afternoon after
driving up from Penticton. I’d washed
the car in Penticton to get all the grit off from the snow zones we drove
through. Would you believe we had one section
of about 3-4 kms where it rained enough to make the car dirty again? Grrr!!!
We are parked at Jacquie and Jim’s in their nice RV pad with
full hookups. We went to town this
morning and did a big whack of laundry at a laundromat. I went to Telus and upgraded our cell phone
minutes. I also bought a Sierra Wireless
Jetpack type air card/modem and retired our little single air card. We got spoiled down south using the Verizon
Jetpack where we could both be online at the same time. Now we can again. It creates much more harmony in the household,
let me assure you. The new aircard must
have a much better antenna. The old one
could barely get three bars of 3G while the new one is giving us four bars of
4G, with both using the Wilson Sleek. We
couldn’t get a usable signal on the old air card without using the Sleek
booster.
Maurice and Dian joined us and Jacquie and Jim tonight for a
game of Sets followed by an introductory game of Spinner. Maurice won Sets and
Jacquie was top in Spinner followed by Dian one point behind.
The weather makes me wish I was still in AZ. Most of the day the temperature was only 3C
and fairly wet. At one point there were
big fluffy snowflakes mixed with the rain.
We got our mail from daughter Bev, our home base keeper, so
now we have to get our income taxes done asap and get up to date with medical
appointments etc. There will be other
items of business to attend to during our stay as well. The motor home needs a good cleaning and
everything emptied out of the basement and some unnecessary items sent to
storage. For some reason we seem to be
bulging at the seams again.
