Sturgess North. The Rest of the story.

Salmon Arm, my town... We have been cominng here for years. I have my favorite haunts. Great dollar store, great shops down by the pier and of course the LORDCO. My saviour, LORDCO had a fuel pump that fit. Like new, we were back in action.

Sturgess North had it's own charm, in a scattered disorganized kind of way. Highlight of the event had to be Ray Sawyer and Doctor Hook. "Sylvia's Mother" was the encore, nearly made me cry. The weather was brutal. Cold and rain with hail. When it cleared, it took the rest of the day with it and we were sitting at +3 degrees in JULY!!! The band even had to leave to go and layer up. Sporting toques and Boston Bruins Jerseys.

The Remainder of our time was spent visiting our family, enjoying the adventure and loving the best scenery BC had to offer. By the end of our trip, we had seen over 20 other busses in varying conditions but all being loved by their drivers and loved by those who saw them.

Did you have a sound wagon?

When you have someone give you something that's so thoughtful and cool as a gift, sometimes you just have to share. This was under the tree this year, and I have never seen one before, but after this, I feel a new collection coming on. The sound quality is crap, but that makes it all the more entertaining. Apologies for the photo quality, I used my IPad to record it, lacking proper video equipment.

Freedom quilt

VWll after much time spent hunched over a very vintage singer, the freedom quilt is finally done. I have to say despite some obvious flaws where the patches don't quite line up, I am still very fond and very proud of it. That old singer powered right through double thick arctic lining like a true workhorse without skipping a stitch. Now to decide what to do with it? Keep or sell?
