Things I forgot yesterday (Sept 15th): Happy birthday, Heather. Been a while, let’s chat! Well hello there! We awoke to many fog horns sounding (vessels have to sound every two minutes in fog conditions). Today began with a lovely walk exploring the forbidden areas of this campground. Fun fact, the boundary of this private campground…
For this morning walk I ventured out of the day care (oh, sorry, I meant campground) and over to the municipal park that, in addition to the police HQ and the fire department, hosts a beautiful lookout. I then hit the local neighbour hood inconveniently (for the residents) close to the campground but more importantly…
Omissions from yesterday. I dumped the holding tanks and remained 100% faeces free. It’s rather inconvenient to dump tanks here. You have to go to the office and get a physical key to unlock the cap. I don’t want to do a culture on that key. I also learned that taunting Buffalo Bills fans is…
There are plenty of things I don’t understand. People are just 7.951 billion of those things. We settled in for a lovely night sleep down by the harbour. Around 1000, the third RV of the group parked on our port side arrived. You might think that in a pretty empty parking lot that they would…
For today’s morning walk I ventured over to one of the boulangeries for some croissant and a baguette. Two croissant, two choclatine and two almandine. Mission accomplished! Well, not the mission of a significant walk. I dropped off the necessities for Mrs Milddogs to enjoy with her coffee and to share with our neighbours and…
So much to cover, so little time. It’s been a while since our last “official” van life trip. Like a the great bloggers, sometimes you need to take a bit of a break. But, I’m not a great blogger, I was just doing other stuff. This year’s mission is to celebrate the fall by revisiting…
For the last 4 years I have walked (obsessively) for mental and physical health. This week I crossed 4 years without missing a day and surpassed 9000 total kilometres. You may remember that we had a COVID pandemic. For us, in this part of the world, things really changed in March of 2020. It was…
This post has nothing to do with #vanlife. TL;DR: You might not be saving money running your heat pump vs your Natural Gas furnace. You can calculate this, fairly easily. It would be nice if the Ecobee would allow you to set the crossover point based on the electricity TOU phase. Preamble The cost efficiency…
Well hello there! It’s been 18 days since we arrived home and I have finally figured out all those those stats I wrote down incomprehensibly. Forget keeping track of the oral history, I can’t even make sense of the notes I took. Since arriving home we have enjoyed the almost daily sounds of progress. Bell…
Day 39 started with a nice walk to Canatara Park, in Sarnia. It’s a nice 5km round trip from Camp Mom. The weather was perfect and lake Huron was perfectly calm. Rest of the day was spent with family doing stuff. Did go to the “B” chip truck option with my sister and mother. I…
