Winnipeg….aye!

We made it after taking our sweet little time.  Gonja has never smelled so many bushes, trees, and garbage cans all in one day and was in dog aroma heaven!  We did a nice 3 miles walk around the outskirts of Winnipeg and now I am enjoying chicken, mash potatoes and a roll for dinner, all prepared in my truck!  I used my backpacking Jetboil to heat 2 cups of water, added instant potatoes; and topped it off with some leftover chicken and a dinner roll……five minutes later, a hot meal!  My overhead expenses have cut down to over half now that I know what I am doing and I have the equipment to do it with!
It is going to be cool enough outside tonight to not run the truck but I always feel a tad nervous about keeping the windows down to enjoy a nice breeze…..because, I am at a TRUCK STOP.  But since I won’t be breaking idle hours, I will just let the truck run.  Heck, I still have to figure out what I am going to do for the next three hours as we get to sleep, our load is due at 8 AM, only 30 minutes away.  So I am going inside to wash my Jetboil, get online and update you all……and maybe watch a show or two.
Should be back in the States tomorrow……..but never promise as we all know what can happen to me!  Good night!
