the world from my point of view
Maggie and Seb packed up the Jag last night. They managed to get everything Maggie wanted in there. The exchange student (Majo) arrived in the evening. There was a bit of a gathering of friends to welcome Majo. Valerie, Maggie and I hopped into the Jag this morning and started our journey to Victoria. No…
Girls Got up about 2hrs earlier than expected this morning – bedroom was like a train station at 6:30am. I just rolled with it. Maggie and Seb took Mavis for the morning walk – quite surprised by that – nice! Maggie is packing stuff in the Jag for the trip to UVic. I think she…
Girls Molly and I up early. Molly and 3 friends hopped a ride to the ferry as I was going there anyway. They are to spend the day shopping and then make their way home on their own (bus/ferry). Vancouver I tripped off to Vancouver to get the remaining Ikea stuff. Valerie booked me on…
Defender I spent some time getting the Defender back into usable condition. Cleaned out the cooler box and dried out the tent (it was packed up wet). I also returned the storage boxes to the roof. The drivers door needed adjusting so it could close. I ordered a bunch of bits from the UK and…
Development A new home is being built just below us. This lot seems super tiny but they are making it work. Few empty lots exist in Sandy Hook at the moment (unless large parcels get sub divided). Deerhorn Floor was grouted and waxed. I think it looks pretty good. Also; the floor is now level…
Girls Maggie and her friends came back from their road trip to Tofino. They did; some stealth camping with the Defender, some surfing, and a lot of driving through some awesome and diverse landscapes. I guess most of all some good friends shared a great adventure – perfect! Defender I have ordered some new bits…
Girls Maggie checked-in from Tofino. I gather that all is going well. A few issues with door handles/latches on the truck coming loose but they seem to have that under control. Travel Trailer Put a new gas regulator on the travel trailer the other day. I think this has solved the leak problem… I will…
Maggie has checked in from the Port Alberni area. I think they are there for the night and then to Tofino tomorrow.
Girls Maggie and two girl friends are heading to Tofino tomorrow – in the Defender. We spent some time getting the Defender ready. I checked fluids and found it needed window wiper fluid, power steering fluid, and (most of all) engine oil. I should have checked that engine oil sooner. The tent was erected and…
Girls Got Maggie into the Defender. I was able to slide the seat up so she can reach the pedals. She drove it around the block with little problem. I guess the plan is for her and two girl friends to jump into it and head to Tofino for a few days. I want to…
