Day #5277 – (Mon., June 17, 2024) – Campbell River!

I drove out to Campbell River this morning to ServiceBC to get some, ta da, “Services” done! The Campbell River location is supposed to be less busy than the Courtenay location, but there were 7 people in front of me today. (The picture to the right shows the beautiful scenery on the way there). While in Campbell River I:

  • Applied for my ServiceBC Card.
  • Applied for my Driver’s License.
  • Applied for my BC Health Card.

They should all be arriving by mail in two weeks.

Before my afternoon nap I forked the green lawn clippings behind our old shed at the back of our property. This will be the compost area, at least for now. I do need to get a proper “pitch fork” when I’m out tomorrow to make this job easier, and also a garden hose that will reach all the way back to this area. Water is one of the main ingredients for a compost pile!

This afternoon my wife took Katie shopping and got quite the haul of stuff (see photo to the left). They did some thrifting, but also went to Walmart and Winners. At Walmart they picked up a white toaster for the main house and a black toaster for the “Barn Suite”.

Bobby is spending a lot of time playing online. We are going to have to figure ways for him to meet new kids in the neighborhood, or introduce him to more “offline” hobbies! There is a lot of yard work and such to be done around the property, but he doesn’t seem too interested in that…maybe over time…
