Roger and Susie's Travels Well time to sign in lots of the usual stuff I think sence the last blog Susie and I have traveled to some of the local Islands on day trips etc. The latest is doing the fathers day car show in Qualicum. (700 cars +/- ) stayed at Joseph and Susans camp site in Parksville (very nice ocean view) we also found a place to redo our floor in the motor home in that area Lanzville industral area this was recomended by our camping friends Fred and Marg (RV sale and service place) so we left it in there and drove home in the old 48 chevy (ran like a dream)

June 8th & 9th/ 011

Looks good but no fish I think the timing was off ???

Whoes that

How did I get here

Sara says whats more important my ball or those lilys

Just playing with the camera

Roger and Susie's Travels June 8th My buddy ( Hal) and I went fishing for the first time this year ( we have heard of some great catches) but to no evale (not happening this time) but good time cruising anyway. we spent about 3hrs trying no big deal (better luck next time.) June 9th My birthday today (the big 68th) but as always I am up early and on the go. stopped at a local golf course and shot a basket of balls. Then off to get the motor home from the repair shop (they are not finished they ordered a micro wave /convection oven 2 week delivery )that is all that is left for repairs but I brought it home to do my own re&re  plus cleaning will take it back for final repair. washed the unit cut some grass got many calls re birthday and emails then Susie prepared  a nice dinner( good stuff) interesting while in the back yard I was taking our kitchen waste to our little composting unit I opened the top to deposit my waste only to come eye to eye with a rat having dinner in my compost now I know you all will say OH MY GOD but rats are very common on Vancouver Island and I am sure that they have reason for being here this rat was not happy to see me but I could tell he was very healthy and let him scurry away ( they do get into bird feeders etc) but all in all a good day

Roger and Susie's Travels Well Susie and I went on a day trip some thing we talk about but never do today june 6th we went to Quadra island then to Cortes Island had a bit of a site seeing tour but most things not open (monday and to early in the season ) interesting sites but we were having trouble getting something to eat (every thing closed) but we finally found a little hamburger joint so all was well then off to the ferrys to get home for the hockey game ( I guess we did not have to hurry oh well there is the next game on Wed.) the ferrys you catch the one to Quadra then drive across the Island and catch another ferry to Cortes then do the same coming back so to do it properly you need to get up early to do the Islands in one day
