Monday morning travel thought's.


    trailer tires will be changed this week 

As we travel maintenance as needed is my go to. I've been watching our trailer tires awhile now, deciding when I'll replace them. Always thinking how long can we travel on these? Did I get our max value out of them? Should I change them from side to side, get the last bit of use out of them. 

I'll explain, two of the tires are wearing on the opposite side, so I could just take em off, change and maybe get a bit more mileage outta them, but I just don't want to gamble with the possibility of a blowout as we travel. Our one and only blowout so far was at low speed, almost stopped, in a campground. Highway blowouts are extremely dangerous, and often very costly, so that's why I'm planning new tires here close to a big city where I'll be able to get the best tires for my $$, and quickly, before we head out on our trip across the north of Ontario. 

Our trip is north, on a highway that's got much secluded, narrow highway. Stopping to change a tire πŸ›ž, and or the damage isn't in my desired plans. Always I want to feel like we have the best chance of no problem travel. So this week, new tiresπŸ‘ 

Our time here at our cousins place has been great so far, first night a fire πŸ”₯ and so much "appetizers" it was supposed to be, yet Chilli, and roasted pork tenderloin, and cheese& pastry covered dill pickles, so much really good tasting food. Quad and razor rides, motorcycle riding, and kid's playing everywhere. What a fun time we had. As the night got darker more people arrive, I just couldn't keep up, was a really fun night. 

Of course by 9pm we The older ones take off home to bed. What a great first day and night here in LA Brokerie, Manitoba.
Saturday was a haircut by Jody, and her and Rob's house, and a visit with the family there, John and Charleen who I'm not sure I'd ever met before.

          Julie & John are great hosts 
          
We went for family photos yesterday, with the whole bunch of John & Julie's family, was really good watching, Polly stayed home making desert for dinner, Polly cooked last night. All was good, especially the desert, cheesecake using Splenda, and different way than usual.

Today is a quiet day here, looking forward to another beauty day in Manitoba, sunny 😎 and warm. 

Loving our life here, travel ahead fun times ❤️
