I had a good night’s sleep for a change at the Howard Johnson Motel – no antics in other rooms to wake me up this time.
With there being a late check-out time, I spent a while programming the phone that I bought yesterday and catching up with another few things. Then off to Canadian Tire for a leisure battery and a small solar panel, and Home Depot for a few other bits of DiY stuff including a cheap Ryobi plus one drill and set of batteries.
I had a meeting with a couple of people afterwards where we talked wind turbines, and then off to IKEA where I bought a kiddies’ bed and found a cheap mattress in the bargain bin, plus a saucepan and one or two other things.
I hit the main road at rush hour, as you might expect, and a slow crawl took me south of the river and now it’s dark. I’m heading towards Trois Rivieres to find a place to park up and then I’ll start my real journey tomorrow.
Eric Hall was arrested late yesterday in the company of Mr S Moose. Apparently they have been discovered wandering the Canadian frontier in a Dodge Grand Caravan, causing havoc when Mr S Moose ran amok amongst the local wildlife. It is understood that the Mounties have the pair incarcerated in a secret location for interrogation before transporting them to be imprisoned at the secret interrogation centre at 1200 Vanier Parkway
