- Digging a large hole in our front garden, having some difficulty figuring out exactly what needed to go in it, but finally making some progress
- Camping, in a proper tent and not a wooden box on wheels
- More adventurous electric car driving (without getting stuck anywhere... yet)
- Getting used to it becoming quite warm
On the topic of electric car driving (which is a thing we do now) - it's great. Though to my great disappointment Vernon didn't make the top 10 cities for electric car charging infrastructure, I haven't managed to find a reason to use a public charger yet anyway. Tav and I went for a weekend camping trip to Penticton in it a few weeks ago, and even with a bit of superfluous driving around we didn't run out of electrons. This weekend the whole gang made a similar trip all the way to Naramata with two bikes and a paddleboard on the roof. We did cheat and plug it into a wall socket overnight with the tragically slow charger that came with the car and has lurked in the trunk ever since, like a rubbery-smelling and horribly deformed snake. It turns out it does work (very slowly) and meant we arrived at home with some kilometers left in the bank.
Some day we'll go on a trip where en-route charging is required, which will no doubt be exhilarating and potentially unsuccessful. I'm thinking Revelstoke should push us over the limit - and there is even a charger half way, and once you get there. May the electromotive force be with us for that one...
