21-07-21 A day… it was
At 10:48 pm I was finally done my dinner…
It was such a dark and overcast day, even had a wee bit of rain. Just enough that I decided I probably shouldn’t ride my bike to Elkford tonight. The roads tend to get slicker after a long dry spell. I feel that except for my job which I super concentrated on, there were so many small mistakes in the day. I even took the wrong cheque book with me to buy the radios for the theatre. I will have to go back tomorrow and it set me back in time to get away. The good thing was that this time I did not take the wrong turn. I played the radio and set the cruise control and headed for Elkford with intention to hit up Sparwood on the way back. It did rain a little as I neared my destination. I was glad for my aching body that I chose the comfort of the car. The mission I was on was to purchase 3 very specific brands of cigarettes and send photos and the prices in. They will send me a label to ship them back to the office. I had the list written down like I was shopping for friends on a smoke run and the store clerks were both very helpful and nice. I missed the cheap gas in Elko, 8 cents a litre cheaper than Cranbrook’s because there was a truck on my tail and I hadn’t seen the price on the way up so I could signal and slow down. I tend to be a very courteous driver and when I see a good opportunity for someone to pass me, I start pulling over towards the shoulder, It really surprises me that no one waves thank you anymore. The more annoying thing though is when they pass and then slow down in front of me. I stay constantly on cruise at least 10Km over the limit. I do not like touching my brakes after being passed. There was a cool thing in Elkford that I had to stop and check out.
I stopped in Fernie and found a funny bottle of whisky for Roger’s birthday which I dropped off after picking up some Edo sushi for dinner.
I got home, grateful that the deer are not getting through my makeshift gate. I remembered to check what the clunk was in the cargo area earlier to discover that I forgot about the 11 Litre open water bottle and it had tipped over and filled the space where my spare tire is stored. I removed every thing, scooped out as much as possible and toweled out the rest. I then left the windows down a bit and everything airing out. By the time I was done it was so late and I was really hungry. I am pretty tired of this day… I am also sad at the utter realization of how far Emmy will be moving away when Danika moves to Elkford to be with Malcolm.
