Day #5285 – (Tue., June 25, 2024) – New Van Windshield
I had an appointment at “Coastline Glass” at 1 pm today to have the windshield installed in my van. Before I left I attached the “bed sheet clips” to my bed in the “Barn Suite” so that the bed sheet would stop falling off. Quite the exercise, but I did complete it!
My appointment at “Coastline Glass” was at 1 pm this afternoon. They said that it would take about two hours to install the new van windshield, so I walked over to the Tim Horton’s at the corner and had a habanero chicken wrap, large “double double” coffee, and a coconut donut. There was this cool electric trike outside of Tim Hortons (see photo to the right). I went over to look at it and the owner came up to ask me if I had any questions. He even offered to give me a ride. It costs about $4000, so I’m going to think a lot about something like this before purchasing it. He said he bought it at COSTCO, and although they no longer sell it, they can order it for you.
By 3 pm the new windshield was in the van and I could go home. The movers with the “rest of our stuff” arrived while I was away. Apparently the driver was doing a “favor” for Nick, the original driver, who left a lot of our stuff in the van despite having a spreadsheet of all the contents he was supposed to follow while unloading. Don’t get me started on that… Oh well, at least now we have the rest of our belongings, like the “drywall lift” and the television that was attached to the wall in the bedroom.
Robert, our next door neighbor, gave us a beautiful salmon that he caught. We had it tonight for dinner and was it ever delicious! We will have to have them over to show our appreciation.
Bobby has been asking for a computer, but the last thing we need is for him to have an excuse for more “screen time”. This evening at dinner we talked about our desire for him to get more exercise. School is out next week, and there are apparently three boys who live down the road who take their bikes to Huband with their father. Maybe they will become Bobby’s new “biking friends”?
Katie has really been wanting to see “Inside Out 2”, the sequel to the original movie we watched back in 2015! We could have invited our son, but this was a very nostalgic movie for Katie so it was just her and I for the 9:10 pm show! The Landmark Theater has beautiful recliner seats (see photo to the left). Tuesday night is “special” night, so we each got a medium popcorn and had the drink for free. I also bought a package of “Nibs” that we shared. Katie later told me that she cried a lot through this movie and thinks it is the best movie she has ever seen!
