Lili moved out on the 16th. I was taking pictures but she wasn't feeling it. I did sneak this one. She is in a very nice house in an affluent neighborhood overlooking Departure Bay. It's a nice set up for her.
Her view. Waiting for a clear day and a better picture.
Our washer suddenly died. We can't dilly dally on appliances. We had three loads waiting Sat morning and it just died Friday night. My plan was to attempt the back road from Lake Cowichan through Bamfield to Port Alberni. Instead we were shopping for a washer. Yuk. We picked one from the Brick. Brought it home and headed out to take the old one to the dump. Instead of hanging around watching Eric install and plumb the new one I took off in Onyx and met four fcc Mom's and a few kids for coffee in Nanaimo. Lili met me there.
First mud!!
We had a few hours free today while Jia was at work. I asked Fei, Luk and Kai if they wanted to go 4 wheeling and they actually all said yes. Amazing.
Today was a nice clear mild day, so the plan was to take Onyx to the view spot we found a couple weeks ago for a picture.
When you climb up for an hour and get into the clouds and there is no view.
My first Jeeping day following Oscar.
Way too much fun!
Lots of mud, needed 4x4, snow, ice, ruts and puddles. Onyx was fabulous. No BC pin stripping thankfully. I'm not ready for her to get scratches.
This is the view a few minutes from the bottom. I need a do over come summer.
This could definitely be habit forming. It was fun getting to drive. Loved having a co-pilot and using the radios was fun.
Oscar's crew.
We packed the fire and chairs but it was too muddy to contemplate so we ate our lunch in the Jeeps. Not quite the plan but a good adventure none the less.
The weekend flew by.
