My van blew a fuel injector seal as I drove to the Erma for breakfast Sunday… backed into a parking spot and saw the trail of fuel… called AAA and had it towed to M&P RV repair (they are open Sundays during the summer).  $18. in new seals for the drivers side injectors and 3 hours labor & tax… $504. and I was on the road again by Monday afternoon.  Mark Douglas let me use his trailer to hold my stuff for the night and the Robin’s Next BNB had a room available (with meals) for a very reasonable price.  Got to visit with Bert, JWA, Elliot, Lou, Rick & others that were staying there too…  very thankful the seal didn’t blow when I was out on the road later that afternoon…. just another one of life’s little adventures.   

  

Ben, our travels home too were not with out problems. We flew into Billings via O’hare and were delayed which wasn’t to bad except losing ground time in Cody. The return was worse as again we were delayed in Chicago and that caused us to miss our bus out of Boston! Wound up finding a $200 Uber back to NH only to arrive home at 2 am Wednesday morning to be back at the job at 7 am. I wish I had just stayed in Cody!

Henry,  I truly hope weiner water soup is not a Canadian tradition during hard times. Even in Ottawa the parks are loaded with tasty gray squirrels.

Given modern sensitivities, an air rifle may be indicated but take a lesson from your expatriate cousins in Houma and Bayou Teche. “Ain no need to starve, Ami. Lezze le bon temps rouler! Why you tink dem 22 shorts is bes’.  Dey QUIET!”

  

Squirrel pole…they’re silent and can get as many squirrels as you have snare wire to rig.  May get a bonus possum or raccoon too, barbecued raccoon is actually pretty tasty if you skin them right first.
