Repairs on the road seem to be good service as we travel.

Here I sit waiting listening to our pickup nuts being taken off whirlll whirlll the air gun goes, the man on the job is very competent as he checked it out earlier, then the girls got the truck info, and sent me home for lunch till they got the part's. A call back and all ready when I am, so I finished lunch, and off I go.

Now I sit and wait 

Not unhappy about this, always good when you are in town for repairs, not on the side of the highway. Always nice to get service right away, and that's what I got here. Susan had an opening and got me in right away. I really appreciate this, knowing I'll get going tomorrow morning without any holdup. 

I do keep up on maintenance regularly, but there are unexpected things that come up. This I didn't expect, but I know why it happened now. I changed the brakes with the help of my brother-in-law in the spring of 2021. After we did the brakes, Dan said I might have trouble with the caliper's as they were difficult to push the pistons back in. 

Well a short while later one caliper locked up on the rear, I knew them I made a mistake. I ordered 2 new calipers for the rear, and went to Dan's and we changed them. One shoe got ground down a bit, I'm guessing now it was the one that I'm now getting replaced now. 

Do it right I say, and this time I could have avoided this if I had listened to Dan and got the caliper's earlier. Well lucky me, we are here, and this shop got me in now. 

Tomorrow before we leave I'll come back here as I have a tire wearing on one side, I've been watching it, and talking with the guy working on my truck now he said could be bad tire, could be alignment, he's going to look at it tomorrow. 

Always something when traveling, just have to be looking and watching, and when I feel it, see it or just know been awhile, I take care of it so we just don't have trouble on the side of the road. 

On a positive note,the music 🎶 is good here waiting, and seats comfortable. 😁 Polly staying at the trailer, TV on happily creating something good to eat I'm Sure 😊

Love this Life 😍❤️🤗 

Tomorrow on our way further East.

Thinking of a friend while I eat breakfast today 🥓 🍳 got me thinking 🤔

How our day goes as we travel is always subject to change. Weather does make us alter our plans, so does where we choose to stay. Staying with friends gives us many opportunities, as local people have insights about the area, and suggest places to visit that line up with us, as they know us and our likes. 

While we were in Guelph, in conversation with Mike he told me of a great casino here in Gatenau, Casino du Lac-Leamy.

Polly didn't hear about this, so when I suggested we go there last night she was surprised, and happy to be going to the casino 😁 

The day had changed after our swim in the pool, rain was forecast, so let's go I said, of course this time Polly was ready before me lol 😆.

The drive there was ok, into the city always a little unsure, but the phone google GPS helps so much. As we approach the casino unsure of where to park, I drop Polly at the entrance, then go park. The roads are wet, but no heavy rain now. I walk in the casino, and there she is sitting there pushing the buttons already winning with a big smile on her face. 

We decided to go for dinner first, and gamble after. Was good way to do this, as both of us hungry, and restaurant was busy. We ordered quickly, water was right away, and our snail 🐌 appy came quick, but dinner took a little while. Pizza 🍕, was a nice change, Polly loved the extra olives I donated to her pizza.

Our waitress was so good, older looking but fast and very good. Polly watched her and said to me how she was so good at her job. I asked later how long she had been waiting tables, she said 47years, wow I said we both thought she was so good at her job. She appreciated this, she said. Only takes a second to say "good job" and goes a long way to help others know they're good work is appreciated 👍 along with a good tip.

Dinner was great, and was nice to be out with my honey ♥️, now off to gamble. I was off to the poker room, Polly to the machines. We both got some of what we wanted, Polly loves the machines game of chance, I just checked up on information on my phone for awhile, then left the poker room after about 40 minutes as tables were to busy to get on.

Off I went to find Polly, I decided to play a game after a couple rounds of the casino. I got lucky and won $100 at the wizard of oz machine. I cashed out and found Polly, then we gambled together till 9:30, then home we go. 

Was raining out now, so the drive home was a little different, dark out, and the turns are a little different on the GPS at night as quick, and my ability to see this when information is so fast. We made it after one missed turn , the GPS got us there, but a little detour. 

All in all a great experience, and Polly was talking about it still this morning. Today's rain's change our Ottawa visit, still sitting here at 10:20, we will go to the art museum, as hope to stay inside, and see something different. Many museum's to see here, will see. 

I met another friend this morning here at our campsite, Robert, he's headed same direction as us, only here one night, he's still working, so only so much time. Both him and his wife work from home. Our lives have changed. He has 2 dog's, Wisenheimers. That's how we met, had to go say hi and tell him how much we liked his dogs, watching out the back window. 

Never know who you will meet in an RV park, and always interesting conversation. 

Love this life we live ♥️🤗
