It was a busy night last night but not nearly as busy as the previous night I had worked last weekend. I am glad this one is over and just as soon as the coffee is perked, I will be heading to bed. I am glad that I do not have to get up in a few hours and go quadding.
Oh, the beauty of lying down after a night shift just can not be described but believe me....it is heaven.
John woke me up at 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon and it took about half an hour before I got out of my zombie mode!! I tend to wake with a bit of a headache after working a night shift so needed a cup of coffee and a couple of tylenol then, was good to go for the rest of the day.
It was a beautiful day in the neighbourhood with the sun shining like crazy. The football games had already started and we watched them until finally we headed out side to enjoy some of the sunshine.
It didn't take long for John to decide that the bit of fence he wanted done before we leave had to be constructed today. He got the tools out and within a few hours (maybe less) the fence was up and standing. Wow, we really are good. It is standing 8 feet tall at present but will be cut down to size tomorrow. It looks awesome!!
Gary and Arlene came over to let us know that they were headed out onto the trails for a bit as Gary is still "breaking in" his new quad and needs a few more hours on the engine. Since Dave's excursion into the bush alone, getting stuck and having to walk 8 miles out of the bush, both him and Gary have been pretty good at letting someone know when they go out and in what general vicinity they will be riding in. Hell, it would have taken us a week to find Dave!!
After John mucked on the jeep for a while, he started a campfire and we sat around it for the evening. Gary and Arlene came back from their ride and mentioned that they had seen Dave and Shirley on the North Road so obviously, they are back from the gun show and are now doing some target shooting with the new gun.
We have decided to gather tomorrow for a ride on the quads and Dave is allowing me to ride his extra quad. It will be good for the quad (which has not seen the trails for over a year) and for me as well as I still need lots of practise.
Gary and Arlenen soon left for home and their supper and John and I sat around the fire until our steak and baked potatoes were done then we too headed in the the evening and called it a day.

The sun was shining this morning when I awoke and Hogan was lying up on the dash just soaking it all in. He is as warm as toast in that window.
I think it is going to be a wonderfully warm day today so I had better get into the shower then start on the blueberry jam I want to make. I don't want to be doing it this afternoon if the sun is going to continue to shine. It will make it too hot in the bus.
I have to work a night shift tonight so must get a uniform ironed so that I am not doing that at the last minute either.
The blueberry jam came together nicely and it will be good when we are down in Arizona this winter. It will remind me of home and all the cold weather we are trying to avoid!!
John was busy today again working on the jeep and I decided to make a pot of borscht from some of the fresh beets growing in the garden. I had to head over to the store for some stewing meat and once that was prepared and in the pot, I picked some beets and some carrots, peeled and diced them and added them to the pot as well. Before too long it was ready and I had a bowl of freshly made borscht (loaded with fresh dill, by the way) before heading to work the night shift.
Dave wandered over for a short visit and mentioned that him and Shirley would be heading into Saskatoon for the gun show and were hoping to buy some sort of a rifle for this year's hunting season. I guess we won't be going riding then if they are headed to the city and that is OK with me cause then I can just come home after work tomorrow morning and sleep and not have to worry about waking up at noon and hitting the trails. There are two football games on tomorrow so we are happy with just having a quiet day and watching the games.
Since tonight's football game was on when I left, John went over to Gary's and watched the rest of it over there before heading back to the lonely old bus (since I wasn't there!!) and the bed that he had all to himself!! I am sure he will have a lousy sleep tonight!!

It is dreary out again this morning but hey, there is no rain and no significant wind and, there is some blue sky off to the West so hopefully, we will see some sunshine later today.
Laundry and jam making are on my list for today and when John gets up, perhaps fence building as well.
I have taken time to update the blog so now had better get into gear and head over to the laundromat and finally get all the quad stuff cleaned just in case we are headed out to the trails on the weekend.
The jam was first on my agenda and I mixed together the raspberries, the strawberries and a bit of rhubarb, threw them all into the pot and cooked up some awesome tasting jam. It came together nicely and with 14 cups of sugar in it, it certainly won't spoil!! It may give us diabetes but it won't spoil!! I can feel my pancreas just quivering when I even think about spreading it on my toast!! It sure tastes good though!!
Laundry was next. John got the quad ready for me and I loaded it with the dirty quad clothes from the long weekend and headed over to the laundromat. When I arrived, there was an old Indian fellow sitting out on the bench in front of the laundromat and he said that he had never ever seen anyone ride a quad to the laundromat. He did mention I had a "nice" ride. I told him "only in Leoville" can one ride their quad to the laundromat!!
The triple loader wash machine was available so all the quad clothes went into that one. They were covered with trail mud and corruption so I was happy that the big machine was open. I had another load also and that went into a double loader.
While the clothes were being done, I took the quad to the carwash and gave it a good cleaning as well. Man, it was as dirty as the quad clothes. $8.00 later, it was sparkling clean.
Finally back at the bus, I unloaded and was prepared to sit and have a cold beer. John had been working on the jeep most of the day and it was 5:00 o'clock so it was time for a cold one. When we were sitting there he remembered that we were out of propane in the man cave for the heater so I got back on the quad and took the little tank over to get refilled. While there I also filled the quad up then headed back to the yard to drop off the first propane tank and pick up the second one. Might just as well fill both of them and then they will be ready for the trip South as well. We will refill all the propane tanks in Malta Montana when we cross the border and that in turn will get us to Wickenburg where we get a free tank every now and again.
Once that job was complete, John decided that we needed to clean up a few more piles of dirt around the fence posts so we did another side of the fence. Man, thanks to the rain the other day, the dirt was quite a bit heavier. Not cool!! We now only have two sides left to do and it will be done and looking much better.
With all our jobs done for the day, we retired into the man cave and sat in front of the heater enjoying a few beverages. Hogan was once again wrapped up in his sleeping bag!!
Gourmet scrambled egg sandwiches were on the supper menu tonight and they were delicious!! Ya, that's right.....they were scrumpdiliicious!! Bed followed shortly there after and after lifting so many shovelfuls of wet dirt onto the truck, lying down was a good thing and my back was more than happy to just relax.

The winds continued through out the night eventually dying down as dawn neared. Now, as I arise, the sun is shining and there is only a breeze ruffling the leaves on the trees. It looks like it will be a nice day and at this time of year around here, we really like that!!
I was not able to get onto the computer this morning as it had run out of FAP so was in super slow mode. Since I am not a patient person, I closed it down and read my book instead!!
When John got up, we were unable to continue our game of scrabble (sorry, Words with Friends - which really isn't friendly at all!!) so I brought out the Yahtzee game and proceeded to get my ass kicked in it too. I see that things have not changed there either!! Oh well, I could win, it could happen!! I live in hope!!
With the game over, it was time to get busy and get to work. I had a batch of relish that needed to be cooked up so started that while John headed out to the shop to continue the wiring of the dash. Today, he is to get the stereo and speakers hooked up so that we could have some awesome tunes. Woo Hoo.
Once I got the relish done and had informed my sister that I had another 4 quarts for her, I headed to the shop to see what was in the freezers that had to be used up before we headed South.
I noticed that there were still strawberries and raspberries in there that needed to be made into jam. Oh Dear, I thought I was done with all this canning crap!! OK, so I know what I will be doing tomorrow!!
I headed over to the store to pick up more canning supplies - jam requires LOTS of sugar so that was definitely on the list. Also, I noticed that the beer level was getting low in the fridge so had to add that to the list as well.
Once I returned, it was time to start thinking about what to prepare for supper and thought that pizza sounded simple and good so made that up so it was ready when John decided to crawl out of the jeep wiring project.
We had ordered some fence boards from the lumberyard in Spiritwood on Monday and it arrived today. We quickly unloaded it and knew what project was on the agenda for the next few days. John wants to fence the area where the little storage trailer will be sitting before we leave this Fall so I better get my work boots on!!
With the wood safely off the truck and piled neatly on the ground, we headed into the bus and had supper. The pizza was ok but it sure wasn't as good as the ones I made in Arizona!!
TV took up the rest of our evening with both John and I helping the drivers on Ice Road Truckers then scooting off to Texas to catch feral pigs with the American Hoggers!! Ya, that's right ..... I have no life!!
Hogan and I then headed to bed while John waited for the FAP to return to the computer so that he could upload pics to this blog. Life is good!!

It rained most of the night and the wind has been blowing right along with it. The awning is holding its own although it does tend to make a bit of noise in the wind.
As the day progressed, the rains continued and the wind got worse. Eventually, John and I had to roll the awning in as the wind was coming under it and attempting to put the whole damn thing in Shirley's yard!! I swear there were a few times that I thought the bus was going to accompany it!!
It blew hard all day and John and I kept an eye on the very tall evergreens across the street because I swear, the tops of them were swaying side to side at least 8 feet. I said several times that one of these days, they will end up lying across, or in, or through Dave and Shirley's roof!! Either way, it will be ugly. I would be inclined to have the darn things chopped down before that happened or, at least have about 30 feet cut off the tops of them. These evergreens are VERY tall!!
John worked on the jeep for a bit again today and is making progress. He now knows why the brake light kept coming on every now and again and that is because some bozo had it hooked into the light switch so every time the headlights were on bright, the brake light came on!! Go figure!! It sounds like the wiring is quite a mess. It is a good thing that John is a pro at wiring jeeps as he rewired Frankenjeep in the desert two years ago right from the back bumper to the front one.
It is quiet in town today as the wind and the rain is keeping many folks inside. I don't think Gary even went to work today and can certainly understand why. With the powerful wind that is blowing combined with the rain, I can just imagine the danger he would be in climbing on the roofs of the customers wanting their satellite dish installed. Better to be safe than sorry.
There is supposed to be a frost warning out for tonight and I can sure see why as the heater has been running all day just to take the chill out of the air here in the bus. I am so glad that I dealt wth the cucumbers and tomatoes the other day. Now I don't have to run outside in this lousy weather and cover plants with blankets that would surely be in the neighbour's yard by the morning unless they were weighed down securely.
Perhaps tomorrow will be better and we can get some more yard work done.
Hogan and I curled up in bed hoping for sunshine - another day over and done with.

It is John's Mom's birthday today so I must make a quick call to her and wish her a happy birthday. She is 79 years old today and going strong.
The sun is shining today and that is nice to see again. I have to do something with all those huge cucumbers today and it looks like relish and more fridge pickles are in my future.
I started with the fridge pickles and once they were out of the way, I got out my food processor and started with the relish. I chopped all the necessary ingredients and then set is aside to sit overnight. It will have to be finished tomorrow. Then and only then, will I finally be done with all the pickling unless I get another burst of energy and so some more pickled beets but I am hoping not!!
The rest of the potatoes need to be dug out of the ground and I think the green and yellow beans are beyond saving so they need to be pulled up and sent to the garbage. That only leaves the dill and the carrots left in the garden and once they are dealt with, the garden can be rototilled and left for next year. Things are all coming together and with us already thinking about the trip down South, that is a good thing. One less thing off the "to do" list.
We were able to get more of John's little piles of dirt and cement onto the truck before the rains came (where the hell did that come from!!). We sat in the garage until the rain had stopped. Romeo, our elderly neighbour came over and brought a couple of beer over to share with us to thank us for leaving his driveway intact. Our yard boundary cuts into his driveway and had the power line not been in the way, the fence would have taken up three quarters it. Fortunately for him, we had to move the fence to accommodate the power line which left his driveway intact. He was very appreciative of us moving the fence over 5 feet and brought a beer over for us as his way of saying thanks.
Once the rain stopped, we finished off some of the piles of dirt and are slowly making our way around the yard.
John cooked ribs for supper and they were delicious. It was then a quiet evening spent watching TV and Hogan and I were in bed before too long watching the start of The Voice. John was busy watching the NFL. I am soooo glad we have two TVs in this bus.

It was an extremely busy night shift last night and I am more than happy to be home and headed to bed.
The Riders play football this morning at 11:00 a.m. so I have to sleep fast. They will in all likelihood, require my assistance on the field today. It is the annual bango bowl and a must to win!!
I heard the church bells ringing at 10:45 (like they do every Sunday) and knew I had to be out of bed in 15 minutes to catch kickoff. The next thing I remember is waking up, looking at my watch and noting that it was 12:30!!! Shit, they started without me!!
As it turned out, the Riders did win and Rider Nation was once again the champs of the Bango Bowl!! Take that all you Blue Bomber fans!!
It was an absolutely beautiful day out and John and I spent much of the day gathering up all his nice little piles of dirt, clay and cement and loading it onto Old Blue. I even threw the garden refuse on the truck since we were going to be making a trip out into the forest to dump it. The bears can enjoy a treat of cucumber and tomato vines.
Shirley came over looking for her camera (John had borrowed it to download her pics off it from the long weekend) as they had just returned from a fishing trip to Island Lake and she had caught the two biggest fish. She was so excited that she had managed to out fish Dave and Jeff and was going to really rub it in!!
John and I wandered over there to see the size of her catch and stayed over there while they filleted them.
Gary and Arlene had gone fishing in Chitek Lake earlier today and had come back with only one that Arlene caught (about 5 pounds) while Gary's were smaller and had to be thrown back. They then returned to Leoville and had taken the quad out for another little ride.
While I was heading back to the bus for another refreshment, I noticed that Gary and Arlene had returned from their ride so told them to come for a beer and see Shirley's big catch. They did and while we watched them weigh and fillet the fish, we enjoyed a few refreshments. Shirley's fish weighed in at 9 1/2 and 8 pounds. She was beaming and with the rest of their catch, they ended up with several bags of fillets. Although I hate the smell of fish, I do love eating it and wished for a feed of fresh fish.
I told Gary that we would take our little boat down to Island this coming weekend and do some fishing and perhaps we too could catch our limit.
John mentioned that it was time for us to take a trip to the forest to dump that load on the truck and Dave said that he would take it and fill in some of the deep depressions he has in his back yard. Well that is good, then we don't have to haul it out to the forest. That works for us!!
It was soon time to head back to the bus and once there, John started a fire and we sat around the campfire for several hours enjoying one of the few nice evenings. No rain, no wind and no cold... WOW!! IT was a beautiful evening which ended with a great steak and baked potato supper. I even made caesar salad to accompany the meal. It was a great finish to another good day.
