Fixing, mowing, swimming and company that brought supper to cook.

Where are we today ?
       Just hanging out here and enjoying this hot humid weather. No a/c but we have shade and a nice breeze works for us. Bonus too is the wonderful pool right here.
       Last night when Suzie finished the dishes our florescent light over the kitchen sink quit. So this morning I did some testing and found a loose wire in the circuit board, sometimes work and sometimes not. I could probably fix it but ran down the road to the rv place and they had a new LED fixture there at a decent price. So just picked it up and installed the new one. I was going to replace it this winter anyway, so for the small price difference we just did it now. The LED bulbs are much more efficient anyway, great for dry camping.

really liking the new fixture
           That chore done, a bite for lunch and a run to the store. Now gonna mow a bit more lawn.

looking to the front we are under the big tree there
      All was going good for an hour then the mower died! Battery dead. Go get the car gave it a boost and parked it in the shed hooked to the battery charger. Only about 20 minutes to finish, maybe tomorrow.
         It quit just in time cause we wanted to have a dip in to pool. A perfect hot humid day for a refreshing swim.
       Then Suzie's mom and dad coming by with some ribs, potatoes and carrots for supper, all I have to do was cook them. So wrap the ribs in foil with sauerkraurt on the grill for an hour or so.

       Then onto the grill and slather with some BBQ sauce, whip up the taters and cooked carrots we had a very nice tasty supper.
         Did the trick and some fresh local Blueberries with whipped cream to finish things off.
      A nice visit with her Mom and Dad, tasty supper then time to relax a bit with our e-books enjoy an wonderful mild evening.
      Thanks again for stopping in for a peek, hope your enjoyed this heat wave as much as we did.

  2. It's always nice when folks stop to visit and they bring food with them too. We all need more company like that.

  3. Worked inside our cement block building yesterday but with all the big doors kept closed, it was like a relief from the outdoors. Almost like air conditioning! I will never complain about the heat, nope not me! We don't turn the air on at home too often, just relax and hit the basement if we need to. Enjoy!

    1. That is a new battery this spring, thinking it is another issue.

  6. Sounds like the mower is not charging the battery. Hopefully it's not an expensive fix. I do love the fix on your light, LED is definitely the way to go!

    1. We already have some LEDs and love them especially when dry camping.
      John is going to check the mower out, to see if he can locate the issue.

    1. Actually I love the hot humid weather, just makes me slow down and cool off, great for sitting in the shade, with a good book, by the pool, with a cold beverage.
