819 - trailer sells :-(

Day 819 was a lazy start for most but I was up by 8:30. After a coffee start and quick snack for Britt we hit the road for Calgary around 10:30. Shaina I am sure had a very lazy start to her day and went to work for 2 pm till close. Our First stop to get A/C parts for the swather then equine stops at Greenhawk and Tack Collector.

Lunch at a vietnamese soup joint was not enjoyed by Britt. She then ran to Michaels for frames for her art and I grabbed blackout curtains for the theater room. Costco finished out our shopping day and it was a doozy yet again. We grabbed an iced Tim treat for the ride home arriving back at the ranch just before 4.

Once we got unloaded, there was a call to view the travel trailer and sure as heck, today was the day the couple said they will take it! Now I am sad as I knew I would be. Six years ago we brought home a fancy new trailer that fit our family of 5 including dogs. We paid over $40K but it was worth it at the time as we did use it lots for first 3 years. However the last 3 summers, it has sat due to the new house and ranch build, used only as a cold beer fridge! It is so sad that the value once off the lot and with minimal use only recoups half your hard earned cash! My only hope is the new family can use it till the wheels fall off.
So after a cold beer it was time to clean out the trailer, just over 3 hours later we had most out. Out but piled in the house or storage trailer!! Oh my, I had that trailer packed for the end of the world I think. Since I have not seen any of my clothes for years I bagged a huge bag up and will take to diabetes box along with quadding pants and jackets and about 40 go cups and water bottles!

Just after we got back in and showered the thunder & lightening show returned bringing some rain too. Shaina finished up work around 11:30.
perhaps the truck will be moving on soon too
