A day in Thunder Bay....

Wednesday, July 20 entry:

We've been hearing an interesting clicking noise coming from the driver's side wheel so we decided to take the Fit into the local Honda dealer. They had a look and decided that a new axle was required. They ordered the part from Toronto and it should be here tomorrow morning. Not sure what we'll do if it doesn't arrive.

We have to be in Winnipeg on Friday morning since we have an interview with Breakfast Television on CityTV at 0600. Really need to get there so here's to a speedy and competent repair tomorrow.

After hearing about the delay we decided to see a movie to kill some time. First we stopped at Futureshop where I bought a keyboard for the iPad. I'm using it now. Then went over to Chapters where I refrained from buying anything. This in itself is a minor miracle.

After the movie we had lunch at the Mongo Grill. A good, healthy meal.

Decided to check back into the campground we left this morning and we've been waiting for the thunder and rain to stop ever since. Might go see another movie this evening if things don't dry up. Might also take a cabin if the rain continues.

Yep, stayed in a cabin in Thunder Bay's KOA as the weather was highly uncooperative on Wednesday night.  High winds, lightning, and thunder.  The city lived up to it's name today!  The airport suffered some roof damage as part of it was torn off in the 115km high winds last night.  Damaged some cars there too.
