Day 34

Took Envoy into Muffler Man to have safety and emission check done. Got a surprise when I was told all rotors, brake pads and outer tie rod end would have to be replaced. Well it had to be done so that took 3.5 hours. While this was being done checked out some insurance on the Envoy and the motor home. Was told that we have to have an Ontario drivers licence before we could get any insurance in Ontario. Told them we could not get a new drivers licence because of the strike up here. No difference - no licence no insurance - no insurance no registration etc etc etc. Its just a vicious circle. Called the insurance man we have the home insurance with and explained the situation, he checked with his office and they agreed to insure the vehicles as long as we get then registered right away in Ontario and we would keep our Newfoundland licence until the strike is over. Taking the RV out to a truck center to get inspected tomorrow morning - hope there's no more surprises. Damien & Payton here while Tammy worked and we were into Noel's after supper to do some work on his brakes. Replaced rear brake shoes - one had separated pad. No damaged done though - front ones ok.
