5C's Que Pasa

When I write miles here I do mean miles and not KMs.  We imported our RV from the US and it registers miles on the odometer. We had no problems on the road and are about to leave Marysville this morning for a run to the border.  We have a 10AM appointment for our annual [...]

Wednesday started out at 30F  ( -1C ) outside and 44F (6C ) inside.  Really not a great way to start the day but it did get better, eventually.  Turns out that the 2 new heaters both stopped working this morning once we turned on the generator and plugged them in. Raley’s cheerfully refunded our [...]

It was a chilly 53F inside the RV yesterday morning, the promise of things to come.  We didn’t leave until 10:30AM as we wanted to avoid rush hour traffic through Sacramento.  Just as we were in the midst of the freeway maze an old Ford van pulled up right next to us.  We both heard [...]

We stopped at Love’s in Tehachapi as Colin had another tire question.  Oil was spewing from the lugs and he just wanted to check that that was normal.  Back on the road 10 minutes later.  It took until 11:30AM for the outside temperature to reach 65F, our lows on the Isla.  What a strange spring [...]

While Colin backed us up and rehooked the car I was preparing fruit for us to munch on as we drove.  We knew the moment we left Arizona and hit California, the roads are so very bumpy.  It is a good thing that we ride on air bags and have independent front suspension.  After a [...]

The good news is that both Colin and I found some clothes.  We had tried all of the big stores to no avail and decided to hit Kohl’s. Bingo!!  Everything was on sale and there were some very very nice things.  I have never shopped at a Kohl’s before and will try it again.  Best [...]

As we drove I was working on our fuel problem and why we needed so many more litres in Soynata.  After much discussion and reviewing my notes ( I love having all my travel notes with me ) from 2009 to now I was able to piece it together.  We always fuel up at the [...]

I neglected to mention that those spectacular sunset shots in yesterday’s post were taken by mi amore Colin! So it is official, us B.C. Snowbirds will now be allowed to extend our out of province medical coverage to seven months.  I can see us using that priviledge within in a few years if not sooner. [...]

I always have something to write about…..I guess stuff is always happening in our lives. Today I have to start with a story about Carmeh, the one who misses the bird so much.   Yesterday I had just poured myself a glass of Pinot Grigio and made a plate of 9 crackers with 9 slices [...]

Well we made it to Las Vegas with no incidents.  Thanks Leo for your concerns re the carbon monoxide in your comment.  We kept the vents open while driving and the fantastic fans on.  For certain we have a problem with the engine.  Our appointment was for 7AM and they were right on time.  We [...]
