Journal - Labor Day Weekend -Laura Visit

I’ve awoken to another grand relaxing long weekend day.  We didn’t go away but stayed here in Burnaby in the Thor for the weekend.
I’ve been able to trade in my Harley Nightster Special which I love the best all around for my Vespa 300 Supertech which is best for city and lighter carries on the back of my Thor motorhome.,  Now the Harley is stored for winter and the Vespa is providing me fun and service.
Alina and Alyina from Merrit Maids came on from Merry Maids and the Thor has been a joy. 
Laura arrived Friday morning.  
I’ve picked up my laundry from Tikki. 
I did a post office run and took care of some patient concerns Friday and Saturday. 
I did an important run to the storage locker dropping off the folding electric bike and large guitar. I now need to get another mini guitar. I brought back my shot gun . Bow hunting season opened this weekend but I had difficulty with the BECid and Wild sites online so haven’t even got my hunting license and tags. They claim it’s the post strike but it’s never been such as hassle.  Some change in the codes and demands for me to reconfirm my residence.  I did it.
Yesterday had the same difficulty paying corporate taxes at the bank.  Had to have the coupon. Thankfully Anil, my accountant had told me exactly what I needed to do and I was after a couple of tries paid my corporate and business taxes before the Sept 1 deadline.  
I’ve been trying to book my winter stay in Long Beach too so waiting for word on that.  
Laura has been over and we’ve been walking Madigan.  I’ve barbecued steaks and did a run to White Spot for lunch Burgers and had salad for dinner.  We’ve watched tv.
It’s been a pretty laid back weekend but I’m thankful to have done the errands and outstanding little tasks that I wouldn’t have been able to do if we’d gone camping. Laura whose been mostly reading and petting Madigan has said she’s happy with this. She like the Thor like I do.
Thank you God for this weekend
I’ve had two on line recovery meetings this weekend too.  Sunny days and blue sky here with the heat no longer stifling.
I’m listening to the Joseph Campbell Primitive tribes audiobook.  I finished a British thriller novel. We loved Thursday Murder Club with Helen Mirren, Celia Imse, Pierce Bosnan and Ben Kingsley movie.
Thank you Jesus.
