Today is pretty much a nothing day, Leaving
Chilliwack I head for my car repair appointment, Vancouver has very bad traffic
and there is no escape. I arrive at the
shop ½ hr early after 2 hours of go nowhere traffic. Turns out, this shop opens at 9:30am, wow a
repair shop with banker hours.
Andrew
shows up at 10:30, turns out his business partner Lawrence is in the hospital
and the shop is actually closed this week but he came in to help me out anyhow.
The rotor is not warped, but
rather the caliper is stuck, such that the brake pad on the inside has
completely worn down to the metal. So
when I apply the brakes the squealing sound I hear is metal against metal on
the rear right rotor. The caliper winds up and with a new pad and 1 new rotor
on back on my way and just $200 lighter.
Next stop, blueberries, turns out the delta
is where the best tasting blueberry’s in the world are grown, you have not
tasted a blueberry until you have had one of these beauties. I bought 5 pound
for $10, they are just fantastic. Funny
thing about this area, real-estate must be restricted, there are several 5-8000
square foot homes with 5-8 car garages done up with a blueberry shed on their
driveway. It would seem you can buy a
blueberry farm build a monster home but to keep the home you still must produce
and sell blueberries.
The rest of the day is spend doing laundry,
checking into the hotel early just 1:30 instead on 3pm and meeting a friend for
dinner at a casino, all you can each for $27 bucks.
126km today. no pics
