This is Saturday, I think. Too long on holiday, without the benefit of regular activity tied to the days of the week. My cycle is blurring.

After several days of careful study, and a ration of advice from others, we made the move. Off to Canadian Tire, with a choice from their web site and some careful instruction for whatever person would assist us. We were given a berth in service, purchased two new deep discharge batteries and requested installation. And with that, our problem looks to be resolved.

Up at the local mall, in a city of 35,000 they have managed to “score” something special. In the eyes of many Islanders, one of the Costco warehouses would be very welcome. While I wait, I go where I am… they had no tiny jellybeans, but we did score some other tiny bargains.

What if there were easy answers to my questions? This afternoon, we decided to visit a nearby RV store with lots of inventory. For the right price I could have purchased an inflatable kayak (I didn’t). But we did mosey on around to their service department, which had lots of potential and too few employees for the available workload.

Last night, I slept in my mother’s driveway. On purpose. I don’t think that the neighbours even noticed, although the sight of an oversize van that could not fit in the old garage might have given pause. This morning, as we listened to a party of parents and children waiting for the school bus, there was reason to reflect on how far life has evolved from when a school bus was required in our lives.

The planning of the next leg of our travels, by maps, ahead of time, meant that today’s cross country trek went well. So many route changes, in a land of rocks and trees; what were they thinking?

Getting out of the city on Sunday, in the morning, is so simple. Forget the ritual of traffic. Instead, we were hours down the road before the need for fuel and food forced us to navigate off route.

Part of the life description for anyone with technical skills is that you don’t get to retire. Sure, the salary and benefits diminish. But seriously, do you think that those with the sort of problems that require an intervention care?

Turns out there going shopping in the city can be very successful, particularly when one has already lived there for decades. No problem to go quickly from one item to another on the list, even when it requires a different merchant for each instance. Today, we got things done.

Today qualified as down time. Inside time. Time spent trying to convince two dogs that not every noise required a round of barking, and that because one barked, the other didn’t need to echo every single syllable. I failed.
