While we were staying with John, Peggy and Nickolas, the neighbours a couple of houses up the street had a huge tree removed from their back yard. The crane was bought into hold the tree while it was being cut, then lift it over the house to the road where it was cut up for removal. The top quarter was removed whole, then the rest was cut in shorter sections and lifted over the house.
Derek and Lene have have been the custodians of the Tall Tail Award for the last couple of years and decided to pass it onto the next deserving couple who are this year Brian and Marilyn. Peggy gave a very compelling reason as to why she and John should not be the current award winners.
Our new bikes have arrived, shown with a special bike carrier that attaches to the spare tire on Granny.
The first full electric car we have seen stops across from our lot for a 'quick fillup'. Enlarge the picture and see that the Tesla is plugged in recharging the battery. The owner was more than anxious to tell us about his car. It is used as a day to day driver and he was returning to Seattle from a visit to Whistler. The Tesla uses a Lotus body with electric motors and can do 0 to 100k/h in 3.6 seconds. On a single charge it can travel over 250 kms. Cost is approx $106,000.00
We caught up with Millie at Alice lake Camp ground, she had been over to Vancouver Islands west coast and we met her off the bus in Squamish from Vancouver. We gave her the old bike which she tried out around the Park.
