We bought a trailer

After our usual start to the day the accountant sent numbers so I could pay my taxes With the truck full of fuel and H loaded up we headed to town after our morning hot tub. Stopping at the bank to get the trailer draft and we headed off to the west at 11:11. A stop was made in Airdrie at the registry to pay to see if indeed there was a lien on the trailer then we headed north.

Being ahead of time which was sort of a plan we called to eve if Benbow’s were home. We stopped there for a couple hours catch up in the sun giving H a nice stretch too. We loaded her up and headed onward to the trailer venue arriving right on schedule at 4. The trailer was IMMACULATE and beyond what we hoped for. This couple is extreme OCD and even having a hairy Bernese mountain dog not one iota of hair. hey had laid mats and blankets once her had a 40 minute brush outside before coming in and not being allowed on carpet or the stairs. They had plastic clear rug cover over the lower carpet, bumper guards around chairs, anything that rubbed including the microwave glass tray and the stove. Get this. They have never taken a number 2 in the trailer!!! They had parked it at parents cabin and used their facilities but did shower and the wife occasionally take a pee with it dripping out into a gravel created area.


They had finagled extra shelves and most were lined with shelf liner, a pressurized tank was installed and plastic checker plate in the storage area.  They have pool noodles cut to the exact length that is needed for the slides to go out to pre arrange space. His garage was immaculate as well and having forgotten a license plate and finding out he was a cop had him borrowing us a plate for the drive home. This was the BEST deal in Alberta.




We left at 5:30 with our new trailer stopping to eat some supper finally at a nearby hotel. I fed H in the backseat who has been such a great travelling girl then we had a chicken wings and salad/ clubhouse quick. It was now 6:30 and after letting her out to stretch and pee we were off to the next stop an hour back in Lacombe to visit Deb Stebner who we have not seen for years. It was a fun 2 hour catch up then we were on the road again.



We arrived back at the ranch just after midnight with the new sleep chambers. Parked and H did her thing and we hit the hot tub. It was then sports for S as I showered. Lights did not go out until after 2!! What a long but very busy fun day!
