Spring Clean up - when!?!

We are now planning to leave Calgary on Monday; the holdup has been cleaning out the greenhouse since it is sold and will be [hopefully] dismantled by the new owner while we are away. For that to happen, we needed to clear out our stuff [done] and have a garage sale [ actually a greenhouse sale!] to get rid of the residual stuff. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate last weekend so it is this weekend.

I've got the plastic to line the dry locker from Industrial Paint & Plastics (plus some other stuff....great shop if you have a plastic fetish); the replacement mast head unit for the wind speed/direction has arrived, the rain gutter material to install over the ports has arrived. No word from sail loft re repairs to sails, but communication is not their strong point - so I assume all is well. Hank from Coyote Canvas called to confirm that the new dodger is ready; he is waiting for me to install the new bolt rope on the coach roof. This will be great new addition -- it has re-inforced Sunbrella material plus upgraded quality plastic windows,etc. Photo's will be posted once it is in place.

All we need now is for spring weather to hit the coast so that we can actually do some outside work!

The trip out should not be as tiring as previous trips; we will be giving our new Subaru Legacy a road trip test drive. I can even play my iPOD so we don't have to listen to fading CBC stations.

Will a satellite radio be next on the geeky technology purchase list?
