Prepare the wagon…and let’s go…!!!

Part four of the winter shenanigans posts…… and then off we go again…!!

When the signs of spring arrive outside the kitchen window….

…and the neighbouring farm is firing up the irrigation pivot…..

…..it was finally time to de-winterize the trailer. Oh boy were some people excited around our house.

This is a whole bunch of tasks varying from flushing the pink stuff out of the water lines, checking the tire pressure and lug nut torques. Lubricating and de-corroding all the outside moving parts from stabilisers to locks.

Then the job of packing up. Which is very different when you are not packing up a house with no idea what you are going to need….or where you might be next week. The last couple of years have involved much learning.

I’m not sure we have any better idea of where we are going to be next week…but we do know that come winter we will be somewhere sheltered……with a fire…!!!

Tearing down that ugly shed before we go.

Having cleaned and cleared so much garbage from the north field ( steel drums , plastic drums, old windows renovation debris etc )……a big priority before leaving was to get that ugly eyesore of a shed torn down and gone. It was a carbuncle ruining the view from the kitchen window.

I’m not going to say that it did not offer any resistance……..but between the sledgehammer ……….

…..the tractor……

and a bit of grim determination……

…that thing is gone……..and may have been slightly cremated……

Honest…most of it went to the dump….but some of it did end up on the fire ring ( Editor, it was a squeeze but I made it fit )….requiring a bit of cosmetic upgrading to said fire ring….. ( message me if you want to see the ridiculous video…… 🤣)

With that task done….old Xolo was hitched up and ready for action….

So……to our Calgary ( slightly north of Calgary ) regular spot……handy for our favourite veterinarian, and handy for the city without actually being in it…..

Springhill RV campground…

Its a very handy spot to visit with our youngest daughter while making plans for next stop.

oh….and in other exciting news…..Scott is now officially a Canadian citizen….it all came through just in time for him to vote….!!!

………and for whatever reason…… ( we applied at EXACTLY the same time……..!!)….mine is still pending……hopefully soon.

So….of into the world we go again…….more adventures coming up…….. 😁
