Aug 22 - off to Markham

Another rainy day up north.  I took three snow tires to Arnstein and picked the fourth which is now in Sandy's car as her spare.  At some point I'll take the other 7 wheels, maybe I'll use Jim's trailer and do it all at once ... but probably not worth the effort.  I can take three or four at a time anyway and take them in while I pick up the mail.  There's no rush.

On the way into Arnstein a funny symbol popped up which I checked out and it said "engine malfunction producing adverse emissions results" or something to that effect.  I tried using the OBD tool to reset but it didn't seem to do anything.  When I did some research on this back at the cottage, it's not unusual and part of the solution seemed to be doing a reset and then driving a certain number of highway miles.  Well, I'm happy to report that the symbol stayed all the way to Stef's and then was gone when I restarted the car to head to Markham.

I was at Stef's to drop off stuff for Kylie and to inspect :) their hardwood installation.  It's going well and it looks great.

I'm in a hotel in Markham for a 600k that starts tomorrow, 6 a.m.  The weather looks so-so, likely some drizzle on Saturday, perhaps significant rain, then sunny and hot on Sunday.

Kim and Megan headed to Edmonton today.  It's not really a blog topic, per se, but David and Kim decided to split.  It's been a long time coming and probably best for the two of them but it's sad to see.  We hope to see Kim and Megan again; Florida would be the likely spot, getting away from the Edmonton winters ?  They have a deal on the Barrie house that closes mid September.

I had to say something, rather than remaining silent.  Most everyone close to them who reads the blog (translate that as "family") knows what's happening anyway.

Life goes on.
