Day 119: 5:45 am the wife is poking at me, time to get up... what did I agree to this morning... Ah, doctor day in Timmins. Why so early? Oh yes, I have to pick up some stuff from the Mennonites this morning and take it to the Airport and send it off to Joan... everyone knows Joan. Put her name on a package and put it on a plane or train and it will get to her, no address needed. Pretty sure she is at the end of the line and just collects all the boxes and packages at the end of the run further north... what's that you say, 'further north'? Yes there is further north... it goes Me, Joan, then Santa. Picked up the meat for Joan, picked up side kick and he followed in his car (had to take it in and get the trany checked out. Got to the transmission shop... it was gone... I called, He man where did you move your shop too? You aren't here anymore. Ya Other side of Timmins now, oh how I love driving across Timmins. Drop off the car, they weren't sure why... the cost of a transmission is about 10x the value of the car at this point... he was hoping it was something other than the transmission that was going and wanted to make sure the problem wasn't actually killing the trany. Anyway we left it there and went for his doctors appointment. Social distancing I stayed in the car again... fucking hot out today btw just in case you were wondering. It took forever... I was pressed for time and driving to the far side of Timmins twice wasn't helping but an extra hour at the doctors was burring me. Apparently he took a nap in the waiting room and missed them calling his name. DOH!!! We went to the BulkBarn ( they no longer have a servant for each customer ) you have to bag your own stuff now. Sidekick went in the place next door to get another doctors appointment while I shopped... then across the street to the big grocery store... Back across town to get the car again (a few sensors were not working, trany was fine) <<< on a side note the sensors mount to the front of the car, he no longer has that part of the car, an issue with running into snow >>> I left him there and booked it back towards home, gas, picked up and ice cream maker I bought on line last night in SoPo and then back to dump off groceries... the boy couldn't get ready fast enough... I pushed a peanut butter sandwich at him, we planned on stopping for food on the way to golf but there was no time now. I put the groceries in the fridge that needed to go there, the rest of the bags just got left on the floor, we ran out the door. Going to be 10 minutes late for his Tee Time. Got there, he couldn't remember the locker combination... there was a slight delay finding the key to the storage room to retrieve the lock crushing device. Once the clubs were free, Lawson got driven out to the second hole and joined his friends from Hockey... you never know when one of them are going to grow up and get signed by the Toronto MapleLeafs, hence the golf training. After golf we grabbed a few things at the market on the way home... we got there and there was no wife to be found... what gives? She should be home by now... that's like all week she has been late coming home... seems to me they are going to owe her some time off at this rate. 4:30pm Waiting... Who's going to bring me my grog?!? 4:32 Heather gets home and interrupts this post... Still didn't get my grog... too damn hot today, Air conditioner in the car Heather took to work is beat... she hot and beat... we are all beat... Heather managed some food for the boy but we were not inspired to cook for ourselves tonight... I cut up some strawberries, she made some whipped cream... there done... dinner. It seems I ate that and feel to sleep... lord knows what they did for the rest of the evening. I dare say they likely followed my lead shortly there after.
