last night's sunset

        Up early as usual enjoying this summer time weather. A few walkabouts then a quick trip to town, pick up a couple kaiser buns for supper, and 3 cobs of corn, only .50 cents.

        

        Then another walkabout and stopped by Mike and Trish's trailer to visit with her Mom and Dad. They came in last night for a couple days on their 53rd wedding anniversary camping tour with their Class C motorhome. So nice to see them again and catch up, first time this year. After a while its soon time to head home for a light lunch, don't want to wear out our welcome.

        Got lunch done and with such a wonderful day figured it was time to service our house batteries. Just two six volt deep cycle. So removed the cables and batteries, cleaned them all up, polish the terminals and cables. Top up with distilled water (only took 1 cup each) and reinstall. I do this 2-3 times a year and the last ones lasted over 7 years.

batteries all cleaned up and ready to re-install

        Most of my work done for the day so can relax in the shade, with a nice breeze for a while enjoying our books. Until its time to fire up our Weber and grill and couple chicken burgers with bacon and the three cobs of corn wrapped in foil for a tasty, early light supper.

Bob came by and cut most of our grass.
Thanks Bob

        The early supper was put on hold for a while, because of severe weather warnings. We were advised by management to roll up our awnings, secure things and head to the clubhouse. Well most people did that and we just hung out on the porch, but the storm apparently passed north west of here in a short period of time (thats good). But we did get to hang out at the clubhouse for a bit, chat with people and watch the storm pass us by. Kind of an informal "happy (social) hour".

        Back home fired up our Weber, umbrella in hand and grilled the corn, chicken burgers and some bacon for the burgers. A tasty filling supper was had. The corn was not the best but then again where do you get good corn at this time of year in Ontario?

gotta cook supper, rain or shine

nicely cooking

really hit the spot

          Then time to hit the rec. hall and play darts with a bunch here, first time this year and always a fun time.

Suzie in good form

          Darts done and Suzie's team came in second place walked away with a whopping $2.00 prize but we sure had a lot of fun.

         On the way home got invited to a campfire so stopped by neighbor Rob's for a while, enjoyed a nice campfire and conversation, people always dropping by too. Now time to head home, finish up posting our blog and call it another awesome day!

        Comment from yesterday about cleaning the Weber grill form Contessa.
        " But then you have to clean the grill itself! Now that is a chore."
        Answer:
        Cleaning my Weber Q is not a chore because preheating 15 minutes or so burns all the stuff away and a quick brush makes it good to go. In three years I have only once cleaned the grill and was not much of a job at all.

        Want to thank y'all for stopping in and enjoying this awesome day with us again, hope yours was good too. Sure glad we have no mosquitoes here!
