Out came the vacuum and the Armoral Saturday morning. While Tom did the grass cutting I got the inside of Big Mo and the Buick cleaned. When the inside was all cleaned up he took over to wash, shami and then wax Big Mo. He is one brute of a truck and that job took a long time. But he shines now like a new penny.
Sunday morning it was time for the Buick to get a wash and wax job. Now that our work was done we packed up a picnic lunch and headed north. We were planning on driving along the east side of Lake Simcoe and maybe up to Orillia. We love to take a back road tour with the vette just to enjoy the drive.
First stop was Costco in Newmarket to fill up the car where high test is usually $.10/lt cheaper than regular gas stations. We were near Costco when we got a call from our friend Helen. Her and Dave were at their 5th at Grangeway's for the weekend and invited us up for dinner. What a nice surprise. Dinner with friends is always a treat.
We continued on a shortened version of our original plan driving up as far as Beaverton. This is on the south east corner of Lake Simcoe and a spot where we have stopped on other occasions for a picnic lunch. There is a nice little beach with lots of tables, a long pier where there are usually lots of fishermen trying their luck.
We sat outside for awhile but the weather today is cooler with a chilly wind blowing. Had a nice visit and a lovely dinner with Dave and Helen before heading home again.
Thanks guys. Dinner was delicious. Good job on the bbq Dave!!
Hope you are enjoying your long weekend so far also. Until next time - safe travels.
Even the short visits make for a nice travel day. Be Safe and Enjoy!
