Clic on a pic to enlarge it
         Just another sunny day here in Cottage country at Galvin Bay resort.  No wind, temps in the mid 70's F just great. Nice quiet early morning walkabout was so peaceful. Home before 8 am. Then chat with a few people and looked for things that needed to be done.
          First was to change our water filter cartridge, think it was due,was looking kinda like it was ready. Has been over a year
old filter on the left, you can tell what it should look like
on the right
       Next was to clean and lube our Roadmaster tow bar. I like to do that once a month or more. Pays off, it has given us 10 years of good service so far.
use the Vroom Road master cleaner
then the Roadmaster Silicone lube,
works like new still
               One of my walkabouts a fellow stopped to say hello, Says hey! you are George the Awesome Travel guy. I have been following you for a long time, so nice to finally meet you. Such a small world, just never know who is reading our Blog. But then over 1,000 page views a day, you never know.
              Even found time to enjoy reading our e-readers outside in the shade. Gotta love the lifestyle.
              About 4 pm good friends Emile and Monique stopped in for "HappyHour" Have not seen them since Rock Glen resort a few weeks ago. Just catching up with each other's travels is always fun.
             Soon time to fire up our Weber Q and grill a couple Chicken, Mozzarella and red pepper smoked sausage on our Q. Added to a tasty green salad. Sure did the trick tonight, quick and easy.
yummy
         Last Saturday after the Peterborough farmer's Market we stopped by the Hydraulic lift lock in town and was pretty quiet then. Should have been here Sunday to see this amazing record break event below.
         On Sunday at 1Pm there was an event Lock'N Paddle that link is HERE  for another one click Here for the link. 
lining up for the lock,
they got 138 in there !
all crammed in, wish we knew in advance
would to have loved to be there,
and awesome sight to see
         Now just relaxing outside enjoying the cooling temps, but still warm enough for shorts, at 8:30. posting the blog and read for a while longer until soon time to call it a day.
        Thanks for stopping by. This weekend  is a long one here in Canada (Canada Day Long weekend) the crowds will be arriving tomorrow and the campground will be full. We don't mind it is part of our lifestyle, they will be mostly gone come sunday. Then peaceful once again.

  1. You might not be so all alone come Monday. Lots of the manufacturing plants start their two week shutdowns to coincide with the first week of summer break for the school children.
    Be Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

    1. It is summer time but is still much quieter after the weekend, The busiest time here is the last week in July and first week in August.

  2. That lock event is fascinating... were they trying to see how many canoes would fit? I'd like to have seen that... but not sure I'd want to have been in one of the canoes...

    1. They wanted to break last years record of 101 canoes and they did. 138 in total, it sure would have been fun.

  7. I try to change my water filer quarterly, where we are there is a high iron content that makes the water taste terrible.
