Day #5278 – (Tue., June 18, 2024) – Mailbox Keys
Katie had an orthodontist appointment this afternoon, so I had to do errands this morning and get the van back so my wife could take her. Such is the case when you only have one car to deal with! We’re thinking of getting another Camry at some point, but a newer model (I’m the only one who misses my classic 1995 Camry) that the kids won’t be ashamed to be seen in… 🙂
The main item on the agenda for today was a trip to “Price’s Lock & Key” in Courtenay to get some extra mailbox keys made (see photo to the right). I then went to Staples to get their commercial 100-sheet shredder, which was on sale.
Canadian Tire was next, and I picked up a number of items there:
- An engraver tool to engrave initials on the newly created mailbox (and other) keys.
- Two garden hoses, one for the front of the house and the other to water our newly created compost heap.
- A large hex wrench for some IKEA furniture my wife is assembling.
- Bear bell
- Large bucket to soak my feet… 🙂
- Manure pitch fork
I was planning on picking up some bear spray as well, but they needed a driver’s license and the lady at ServiceBC in Campbell River didn’t give me my NC license back yesterday. As it turns out, she was supposed to keep it. She did give me a temporary paper to show that my BC Driver’s License is in the mail should anyone ask. I will take this back to Canadian Tire to get the bear spray at some point.
This evening I went to “The Great Canadian Superstore” to get some groceries such as milk, OJ, and lemonade.
Bobby has been spending a lot of time online and we are trying to figure out activities that he can do “offline”. He said that he likes to write, so Katie has offered to help him out, and will be encouraging him to find various hobbies that he can explore. Nice to have such a great big sister!!!
The Oilers beat the Panthers tonight, so it’s now 3 games to 2 for the Panthers. Houston we have a series!
