Come From Away

Living out in the country means that every second “rig” (PEI locals call everything that moves a rig) on the road is a pickup truck.

We are considering buying an old junker to use for occasion pickup-ish necessity that occur out in the country…

Leon at Belfast Automotive has found us a beauty!

It’s a little rough right now, but he says that with a small amount of work, it could be made much more presentable.

Steam cleaning…

Dent pulled out + paint…

Check out the ram hood ornament! It’s worth it, just for that.

Paint + some minor repairs
Estimated total price of inspected truck on the road $1000.

I’ll have to pass by and talk to Leon about it later today to check out a few other things. . .

We drove out to East Point. It is the eastern most tip of The Island.
Here it is:
There is a lighthouse there, of course:

We also have a “wind farm” out on that side of the island. There are about ten of these absolutely massive wind turbines in a neat row. There was a very light breeze and they were hardly moving when we first arrived. After a short while they all stopped completely, therefore we were not able to truly experience what it must be like to live right under these monstrosities.

See the windmills in action:

Hill found out today that she is not with foal.

She’s tolerated another ultrasound… She is starting her next cycle and will be ready to try again Wednesday morning.
