I awoke in my trailer in East Coulee, the morning after the visit to the Blue Saloon in Carseland for BP33.0. I tidied up a few things, packed my gear, and hit the road. After a fuel stop in Drumheller, I headed across country to Red Deer and then on to Rocky Mountain House. I picked up a few groceries in Rocky Mountain House and then headed on to Nordegg, arriving in the evening.
The first thing I did was check the sump pump as there had been a lot of rain recently. The switch must have malfunctioned or the float hung up on the side of the sump, and the pump was burned out. I had a backup pump and put that down the hole. Soon all of the accumulated water was pumped away. Fortunately it never got to the level that there was any water in the crawl space.
I spent over a week out at the cottage and mostly just relaxed. I got in three rounds of golf.... one solo, one with my friend Eric, and one with my neighbor Rob. A managed to pick up a set of used left hand clubs for Braeden for 20 bucks at the clubhouse. I made a trip up to the mine site for a day and took a bunch of photographs. I cut up and split a bunch more firewood, including the dead tree that I cut down last time I was out. Other than that it was just a little visiting with neighbors, catching up on some chores, and relaxing.
It was a very enjoyable week and I look forward to the time that I can return for another extended visit. Sadly, Gary the Jukebox technician was not able to drop by this time, as I now have the needed parts for the old Rockola.
