July 17…still the cool temps…and Floyd started laundry at o’ dark thirty…so we’ll be finished by 10…9 loads…all free and we use their supplies…we’d have spent $25 or more …woo hoo…we celebrated by having special breakfast today instead of Saturday. Laundry done and dishes cleaned, we (Dakota too) walked into town …post office, hair place (I have an appointment later this afternoon), and little grocery munging. Floyd is back to check out the dinghy repair. The new patch seems to be working…but guess what…there are several other small holes…so he’s applying duck tape, and saying prayers.

The sprinkles are starting…and we planned on carry out pizza for supper. Since I’m going back shortly for that haircut, I’m going to get the pizza and save us all a trip.

Then the rest of the day we can rest…tomorrow we plan to leave around 8…stop for gas and a pump out…then let’s do some locks on the Trent-Severn Canal. Should be interesting as we’ve seen posters about “Dragon Boat Festival” at 9 tomorrow…so we may be involved in that as well!!! But we aren’t a dragon boat…and we haven’t seen any around here yet.
