Today was a stay at home day. A number of people I have spoken to seem surprised that we aren’t out exploring everyday; although we plan to see a lot of attractions in the areas we stay, we don’t intend to be on the move everyday. Many days we will just hang around the campsite doing odd jobs that arise, much like being at home. Besides going out everyday would bankrupt us pretty quick!
Today I decided to make a start on the outside of the trailer, it has been parked about 2 miles back from the main runway at Ottawa Airport since we came back in early April, so had got a fair bit of grime on it from the aircraft. Unfortunately this place (like many others) does not allow washing of trailers or vehicles, so it has been a case of sneaking around cleaning off the worst of the black stuff with a wet sponge and cloth. If you recall last time I cleaned the trailer, even with the help of a hose pipe, I managed to drag out the process over a couple of weeks.
Somehow the cellphone I have for the States has a number that has been previously used by a landscaping firm in Texas. Unfortunately said firm seems to have not paid its bills, and I get daily calls from a collection agency. The calls are pre-recorded and start off with If you are not xxxxx landscaping company hang up now. It then goes on about how I have no right to listen to the call (on my own phone I might add) if I am not xxxx and get another chance to hangup, it then goes on to explain that the caller is a debt collector and invites me, xxxxx to call them at 1-800-123-4567. Busy trying to think how to follow through with this one, there must be some fun to be had somewhere.
After lunch we headed out for a walk around the campground, which is about 60% full of trailers, but probably only about 10% are occupied. Following this rigorous exercise, I fixed a leaking drain point under the trailer and called it a day.
Life can be tough some days!
