Monday , October 4th -- The Countdown Continues

Well, I am officially done work now, so the hard part is underway -- getting ready to leave.

We had to retrieve our trailer from storage last Thursday because a -11 C night was coming and the trailer was not winterized. We brought it home and and turned the heat on for the night. Our remote thermometer went down to 1 C in the trailer storage compartments but thankfully no freezing.

On Saturday, we picked up my mom from the airport (Nani) much to the delight of Tomas and Toria. Nani has offered to help out with the kids while we scramble around getting ready.

Sunday was my birthday (42) but the day was spent frantically working on the trailer getting the last batch of upgrades and repairs completed. We got everything done that we planned and I decided to bite the bullet and winterize the trailer so that we could store it for another week without risk of freezing. So Sunday night was spent taking the trailer back to the storage yard for the last time this year followed by a nice birthday dinner at the White Spot in Leduc.

Monday arrived a little early for me. Must be dreaming about our to-do database (yes, database) which will drive our lives for the next two weeks. Have to take the wife's Maxima for a final oil change and a repair or two. Chasing a dream, one task at a time ...
