We towed the trailer up to the north Island last week for a week at our favourite rv resort (Cluxewe) and the new truck worked like a champ plus averaged about 16.6 mpusg which pleased me a great deal. The old GMC 8.1 would average around 6 mpusg for the same trip. Power of the diesel is great but not as much difference as I expected from the old gasser. Just a lot less frantic.
Anyway, spent a great week laying around enjoying the cooler temps (been stupid hot in Campbell River), doing a little crabbing (got lots) and a little fishing off the beach, drinking the odd cocktail and having a good time. Nothing too exciting but nice.
Supposed to be heading east in a week or so to visit the various relatives and families in Alberta and Manitoba so need to keep track of where all the forest fires are. A lot of norther BC, Ab, Sask and Man are on fire right now. We NEED rain! Supposed to get some here over the weekend so bring it on. I'll remember I said that in Jan when it's been raining steady for a month.
