Mild day here today with rain in the morning and some sun in the afternoon and 2º. We had some hard rain overnight. Its -4º here now.
Started out to do my bus run this morning but could not get up the hill on the road outside the park. The road was a sheet of ice and the bus started fishtailing when I got to the bottom of the hill - too slippery to try the hill. Called Sharp's in Kitchener and informed that I could not do my run. Had a job to get the bus off the road and back in the park - took me about 15 mins. as the bus didn't want to go where it was steered. After breakfast I did some more work on the living room walls. I then went for a walk and checked out the road for my afternoon run - all okay - road graded and sanded. Did my afternoon bus run and after supper it was some R & R.

Our day started out sunny but clouded over and -1º. Its -5º here now.
After breakfast we got at painting the living room ceiling. Did so much and then went to Home Hardware in Woodstock to pick up more paint and supplies. After we got back we completed the first coat on the living room ceiling and as we were having so much fun (lol) we taped to paint the kitchen/hall ceiling. Ruby did the edge painting there and I put a second coat on the living room ceiling and then we completed the first coat on the kitchen/hall ceiling. After supper we did the second coat on the kitchen/hall ceiling, then got everything cleaned up and the furniture put back in place - a long workday but we got a lot accomplished. A couple of hours of R & R now before we hit the bed.

Day 537
A cloudy and very windy day here today with a temp of -3º but felt a lot colder with the wind. Its -4º here now.
Out for a walk first thing this morning (very windy) and when I got back I moved the bus from the parking lot down to the end of the park where i usually park it. I left it in the parking lot yesterday due to the flood warning here but the brook went down quite a bit overnight with the cold weather returning. After breakfast we got back at the renovations again. We removed the wall paper & vinyl from the last wall in the living room, caulked around the window & patio door, painted the ceiling trim, removed lights & fan from the ceiling, etc to get ready to paint the ceiling. After supper we had some R & R.

Day 536
Mild sunny day here today but windy and 9º. Its 5º here now. Lots of snow gone and we are under a flood watch here in the park.
Did my morning bus run and stopped for tea. Picked up Payton on my way home. After breakfast I cleaned the corn stove - haven't had it going the last couple of days due to the mild weather. Spent the rest of the morning being entertained by Payton. After lunch I dropped Payton at home on my way for my afternoon bus run. I was supposed to pick up another driver in Innerkip but that was changed just before I got there so I carried on to the school. After supper me and Ruby went for a walk. Some relaxing now.
