Car detailing today, lawn mowing and a new Coffee perk

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
      Up late last night again until almost 11 pm, (this is what happens when the sun goes down later) So slept in until just after 6 am.  Sill quite warm abut 54 F and tonnage another wonderful day.
     Got nice walkabout town ,s topped by Pettigrews to chat with the guys for a bit them back home.
      The plan for today worked out well , at 9 am we went to New Hamburg and picked up Suzie's Dad's car.  He had asked if I would clean it up wax and detail it. Well heck this a perfect day to do this. So over to Suzi'e's brothers place to give it a good washing and vacuum. While I did this Suzie and SIL Sandy made trip to Woodstock for some time together out and about.
getting it all washed and vacuumed here
     Then back to Plattsville, in the shade I proceeded wax and polished it inside and out. I use Meguair's Ultimate easy on easy off and does and amazing job, same as I use on our coach. I was done about 1:30pm. Suzie had a chiropractor appointment in Waterloo so she headed in there with our car.
looks much better now
shiny and real red too
     While she was gone  to Waterloo, I hopped on the mower to finish the rear couple of acres here. Almost done when it was time to meet her back in New Hamburg.
there is patch of Lilacs back here that smell amazing
doing what I enjoy mowing the lawn here
smelling the fresh cut grass
looking better
       I picked her up at her Dad's then back here, finished the last 20 minutes mowing, then a short happy hour and whipped up supper. Want to get it done earlier and wait for our package to arrive. At 4 Pm here it was 88F in the shade, no wind to speak of and very little humidity. A perfect day in my books!
Turkey Garlic sausage we really enjoy
added to our salad did the trick today
          We had ordered a new Stainless steel 12 cup coffee perk from Amazon and the last e mail said it should arrive shortly after 6 Pm. Hmm the delivery place is Pettigrew's garage and they close at 6. I wanted to be there . Dean locked up and headed home and I waited in the car, (only 2 blocks from here) working on this posting, The driver arrived at 6:20 I got our package and back home to check it out. Yahoo what we have been looking for. along time.
exactly what we wanted and for a good price too
new one on the right to replace, my 40 + year old aluminum
 one that we have used forever
makes the best coffee, hope the new one does the same
      We had a wonderful busy day getting things done and enjoying this amazing summer weather.
      Still outside  after 7 pm and still 77 F (25C) really what's not to love about this?
      Gonna read while, listen to the birds in the distance and maybe later catch another sunset.
interesting sunset last night 
     Want to thank y"all for dropping by and hope you had some decent weather wherever you may be.

    1. I do love the car wax so easy to use and does an awesome job. Thanks for the tip on the handle. Making the first pot now.

  3. The car looks shiny bet your father-in-law appreciated the effort you put in to clean and wax it. I love the purple lilac flowers. The first picture of your coffee pot made it seem rather large but when I saw the second pic I realized it was a normal size. I think after 40 plus years of use it has won its retirement.

    1. He really does appreciate it, and the Lilacs are so nice and smell wonderful. It is the size we always use and the portion bags off coffee make 12 cups no measuring. Out took me a long time to find this exact pot for a good price. I know a few people that can use the old one still.

  5. Looks like you had a good day. Dad's car looks great and so does the lawn. I love the look of a fresh cut lawn.
    Nice to see you got a new perculator. It will hopefully last another 40 years! haha

    1. Thanks it was a good day and Happy with the way Dad's car turned out, still like new. The fresh cut lawn looks so nice too.
      I don't need this perk to last me 40 years but seems to be very good quality.

  6. Your new perculator looks exactly like the one we have and we love it! Especially using the filters you recommended! No spillage of coffee ever again! What a nice job you did on Suzie's dad's car! WE're going to see if we can find that wax, I know you've used and liked it and it does a great job too! The lawn looks awesome too!

    1. Really liking this new perk , and the filters work wonderful glad you like them.
      Tha car turned out really nice think will do ours now. You can find that wax/polish at auto places and sometimes walmart , not cheap but goes a long way.

  7. My goodness that car looks like new!! You're much more motivated than I. I'm lucky if I get to the car wash twice a year. My mom had a percolator like that .. it's probably still in our camp box. I'm sure the new one will work just as well.

  8. As always you are an inspiration to us all, great work with the car and property. With that huge lawnmower you are using I would be done cutting the grass on our property in 5 minutes, I think. Drinking a good cup of coffee is therapeutic for me as well as an enjoyment. Hope you get the results you are hoping for.
