I simply could not face repackaging my new trailcamera, and using the return sticker to send it back to the warehouse in Manitoba. Some of the packaging went out with the trash, sadly. At the time it felt a monumental task. Chatting with the dude online, he wanted to see my receipt. I'd have to scan it. I'd phoned the store, but the lines were jammed for a week. I gave up last week.
Their return policies are clear, 60 days from purchase. That was Nov. 4th, and it was Jan. 4th. I ended up emailing the store and explained my dilemma. Rebecca assured me she'd put this on my file, and I could return it to the Ottawa store ASAP. We went on Wednesday, the store is in Kanata and not too far into the city.
We felt comfortable going there, I went into the store alone, N95 mask in place. This Omicron is scary to us old farts. The camera is still charging (48 hours), but should be done by noon.
Can you see the deer in the field?!
They must have been getting rid of the invasive phragmites.
I must sit and sketch some more. This might be a good one for me, or the next one.
The snow fences are up on the open fields. You can see a lovely yellowy spot on the photo on left (below). It was a cold day, and I didn't want to open the car window! It's on the window. I should get rid of it, but I keep on forgetting about it.
We were passed by an ambulance. A bad day for someone.
No more Lego for us! The girls are beyond it. We spent a fortune on it, they had lots of fun assembling it, but they've moved beyond it.
I'm not sure what good the signage will do...
These big machines sit here!
I was curious to see if Otter Creek had any critters. Certainly there were tracks on it.
The fast flowing water is open, where the river water is squeezed through the channel. That said, there are ice fishing shacks on it!
It is freezing at the shore, and in the slow moving bays.
These canoes aren't going anywhere! I spotted three ponds people are using as skating rinks. It was fun to see.
We arrived home to our deer friends, who missed us!
Today's project is getting the cats to the vet for their annual exams and shots.
