So I had booked a few days off this past week not really intending to have had the family event on the weekend prior. Sadly these few days were very much needed as I found that I was quite tired from the previous weekend. Even with that said I had a few days to try and relax. Traci also took a couple of days off and we had planned to try and get away for the weekend to a location other than Cowtown. Well as we looked we found it hard to spend the money. It was just not in the cards. Instead we had planned to go to the movies during the day, to maybe go out to Canmore and Lake Louise for the day. How about a nice meal out. Yes that was the plan. Well as it would happen there was a problem with the girls car, so down to lethbride we go. Had a hunch what the issue was and also had some idea what the solution might be but rather than guess we decided to run the diagnostic computer on the car and it confirmed what we suspected. TPS (throttle position sensor). Had this same issue on my old truck. Anyway, nobody has this part in stock in lethbridge or calgary. Nobody. Keep in mind the car is a focus. There are billions of these on the roads if you look around. So we drive back to calgary and go to pick your part and get 3 of these just in case one is bad. Drive back to the bridge and put it on the car it works like a new car again.
So there goes the relaxing weekend in the mountains and nice dinner, maybe some photo moments as the trees are turning wonderful colors.
If it was boring I would hate it. Life is like that you never really know. So unfortunately I am going to have to return to work without having had much fun or photography on my break. Sucks.
Anyway we got to have lunch with the girl and catch up on the week. That is always a nice event. I am not planning any trips to the bridge in the near future. I am fairly hopeful that we can wait for Sinclaire to drive home for thanksgiving in October. Oh the fun we have.
Now to go and pack the bike bag and get the layers ready for the AM ride.
