July 29 – Black Rapids
\n45\u00b019\u20326\u2033 N 75\u00b042\u203220\u2033 W<\/p>\n

Today was a \u201cchore\u201d day for me. Catherine is arriving by train tomorrow afternoon (July 30) so I thought I would get some tasks done that are time consuming & a bit messy. It is also easier to do if I have shore power so I can vacuum, defrost the refrigerator, etc.<\/p>\n

First on the list was to change the engine oil. This is a messy job that takes about 2 hours & involves lots of crawling in & out of the engine compartment. The engine also takes 4 jugs (almost 16 liters) of oil so at about $35.00 a jug, plus the oil filter, it\u2019s costly too!<\/p>\n

Next on the list was to defrost the refrigerator. After all the activity involved for the oil change, defrosting the refrigerator was a breeze.<\/p>\n

With those jobs ticked off the list it was time for a big G&T & a nap. My friend David brought a bottle of \u201cTop Shelf\u201d gin with him last week. It is made nearby in Perth, Ontario & it\u2019s pretty darn good! I think I will have to consume 2 or 3 more bottles of this stuff to confirm the distiller’s consistency.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By the time I finished my drink & had a good nap it was nearly supper hour so \u201ctools down\u201d & fix another G&T to enjoy while planning supper. The rest of the chores can wait for another day. (note to self, add limes & tonic water to the shopping list).<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
