Heat wave is back

Our morning began with an appraiser arriving at 9 to inspect the fireball. Meanwhile, I started the laundry and worked on yesterday's blog post (if you have read already go back as I added 2 new videos), which includes a few photos and videos. Once he left, we packed up recyclables and headed into town. The temperature rose from 14 to 27 degrees. Our first stop was the dump to dispose of garbage and non-personal paper boxes, which, for some reason, didn't go to recycling. Next, we dropped off recyclables and items at the 'take it or leave it' section. S visited UFA while I went across the street to take advantage of the $10 Wednesday fill a growler special at Origin. And yes, they do fill it with iced tea. ;)

We loaded new grader blades at Conterra before heading to Peavy for additional parts and some innovative fly sticks that S assures will tackle the garage fly issue. I dropped off jars, wrapping paper, and boxes at a friend's place, where I also collected a charming wooden box and egg cartons for Matt. The final errand was to pick up a FedEx parcel before zooming home.

and starting to enjoy swinging

S proposed going out for lunch, but since we had brisket at home, we decided against it. He made a sandwich that was, according to him, exceptional, especially when accompanied by the potato hooked up the trailer and positioned it in front of the house to start loading. Meanwhile, I recorded a quick unboxing video of my new rug to post online. Later, S took a nap in the big brown chair during the mid-afternoon heat of 29 degrees. We spent the afternoon indoors, enjoying the air conditioning as temperatures soared above 30 degrees.

washable and non slip, perfect! I was approached to receive it in exchange for a review and give it 2 thumbs up

After a hearty brisket lunch, I delayed preparing dinner. S was content until 5:30, when he decided to whip up some corn on the cob for an appetizer, and man it was delicious. We were finishing up just as Britt returned from the city. After applying Switch's leg medication, S and I set off for town with the trailer before 7:30. We crossed paths with Sharon, who was on her way to join Britt for a ride. 

At the campground, we located our new spot, #111, and finished setting up. A Hutterite volunteer came by to pickup 7 passes for his crew. Unable to locate the man lift S wanted to inspect, we returned to our trailer for a drink before visiting our neighbor, Lorne. Later, we headed back to the ranch, picking up an art easel en route, and arrived home around 9:30.

If anyone was playing ball this weekend we have a great spot :)

I was occupied with preparing a GF meal of honey lime glazed chicken breasts with veggies and quinoa, while he hooked up the small trailer and loaded his ranger. It was an a most delicious meal, but it was crazy to be eating at 10:40 at night. It was then to bed where we started a new show but S was asleep in no time so I watched some more MacLeod's Daughters finishing season 6. Only 2 more season to go :)
