Friday, June 15 - TT South Jetty, Florence OR 97439


Another nice sunny morning!  While waiting for it to warm up outside attacked our tax returns, again and this time we have success, as least we get through to the end and send it off to them.
 
Got outside for the afternoon, although the breeze is cool, the sun stays out.  Kim touches up some paintwork before he goes off on his bike for a while ‘site seeing’ but I’ve just got to a good bit in my book so stay put.  He’s back before too long.

There is a couple two sites down who have Harleys, they were out all yesterday afternoon on a lovely ride inland from here.  They are staying put today but off tomorrow and again the next day.  Another new camper arrives and asks us about Satellite reception, we get chatting and he asks as we are NZers ‘what do you think about President Trump?’  He agrees with us but agrees he is a minority over here.

OMG where has the day gone?  I know I spent quite a lot of time over in the shower block this morning  (it is a good shower) but seriously this is ridiculous, it’s already 4.30pm and I haven’t done hardly anything today, except for a couple of Tai Chi foundation exercises (trying to close a couple of circles on my watch).  I will make up for it tomorrow, promise!

Oh, I’ve also done some research about what we can and can’t take into Canada if we decide to take the motorhome up there.  Meat needs to be identifiable, ie in its packaging and can be fresh or frozen.  USA produced fresh fruit and veg, should be OK in small quantities.  Potatoes are separated out from veg – “one bag up to 4 kilograms of US number 1 potatoes per person and the bag must be commercially packaged”.  Alcohol is a maximum of 1.5L of wine OR 24 beers OR 1.14L of hard liquor, if you have more I guess you just pay duty on the excess.  They wouldn't confiscate it would they? Hmm, but that wouldn’t be until early August so we should have time to reduce our stockpile before then!

Pulled pork with coleslaw and potato salad is our dinner tonight – yum!
