Managed to close up the trailer without any problems - actually had great weather to do it in, not like years past when I have had to close it up in the rain and cold. This past weekend was super! Had average 17 - 22 (c) degree temperatures all weekend. Actually got most of it done on the Friday - the beauty of being retired after all lol - but have to go over again later to take the gazebo cover and final laundry back and pack it away. I get the park to winterize the trailer - that way I don't have to worry about the cost of getting an air compressor, anti-freeze, etc., plus don't have to worry about screwing it up, although it appears straightforward enough. By letting the park do it, if anything goes wrong they have to fix it. After the great weather, still hard to believe that the season is over. Oh well, with any luck, the new season will be upon us before we know it and we will be back over enjoying our time there.

Well, Thanksgiving is past and so are the elections. Hope all my Canadian friends and family had a great Thanksgiving - sure our American friends are looking forward to theirs. Ours was great - went to a close friend's for dinner Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The great part is that we get to do it all over again today, as we will do our own turkey as well. That way, get to have leftovers - yum. Turkey dinner, turkey sandwich for lunch and leftover turkey for dinner again the next night, lol. You would think that I would be sick of it by then, but no, I do like turkey.

Hmmm .... minority Conservative government, albeit a slightly stronger one. Liberals lost a few seats - no wonder, when the leader can't even give a simple answer to a simple question. Sure hope the various parties in Ottawa can learn to get along with each other and govern the country accordingly. We certainly don't need any more bickering between them, throwing the population into confusion and turmoil. And I certainly don't want to go through this exercise again in 18 months to two years. There are times when I seriously think that we would be better off without these idiots and have something like the US does, but then look what has happened to them over the last 8 years - no thanks. For all of our faults, still think that we probably have one of the better systems going.

Anyways, thought I would just jot a note or two down - gotta go get the turkey on now so take care all - - -

Grandpa out ...........
