All in a Days Work

What started as a slack day wound up being a slack day. Which is not a bad thing really. I got to touch base with a lot of individuals. Call it customer service by making a public appearance I am able to gain compliance easier than coming across heavy handed.

First thing was to drop an interesting artifact off to a friend and chat about just stuff in general. Then it was off to making my rounds. One the way out to Seal Bay Park some guy calls me up asking if I could sort out his problem. Hey I love to solve others problems. Can't solve my own but I'll help everyone else. When I ask for his address it turns out he's out of my jurisdiction and not just by a block or two either. Not only is he in another town he's in half way to Victoria from here. Sorry pal, you are out of luck.

The day was slack enough I even had time to wash the work truck before heading to Goose Spit Park for lunch. On route I had the shock. There was #1 Son with his buddy on their bikes. He had made a picnic lunch of cold burgers while Ivan had a whole jar of pickles, a block of cheddar cheese, a half bag of chippits and a can of spray whipped cream. Al of which was used as toppings on his burger.
He's young. His colon will forgive him.

I also saw the better half exercising with a friend. Lots of people walk the road or climb yhe stairs. A good cardio work out for sure.

As the day drew to a close I ended up searing pig parts on the Flame Pit while my life partner made the sides. I even got some of my packing done for the Island Expedition. Those in the know just call it the Island EXPED. You'd have be there and some day I wish you could. Having a grumpy monkey scream a throw rock's at you at night is pretty intense. Sybilla Irwin, an investigator from Texas, coined the phrase : It's always fun and games until the sun goes down.

How right she is.

So the truck is a third packed but everything else is ready to load in the next day or so. Then its refuel and hit the road. Probably take me six hours to get to the general area. A radio call will bring me in to camp. The all will be good.

More about this later.
