More wonderful weather, Fantastic fan, The Falls, and dart night.

Where are we today ? 
Rock Glen Family Resort

    Another good night sleep and up at 5:30 ready for another wonderful day. Got some coffees and computing taken care of and headed out at 7 am for a nice walkabout the campground and decided to go and check out Rock Glen Falls across the road, It was such a beautiful day. Got 2 miles in.
right across the road is the Conservation area
and Rock Glen Falls
just before the falls
It was such a perfect morning I went down
 the long stair case to view the falls up close
much quieter now compared
 to the spring floods here
love the pool at the bottom of the falls
this be the nice staircase they built a few years ago
      Back home  by 8 am and with all this energy I decided a perfect day to climb on the roof, remove the 3 vent covers and give them a good cleaning. I like to do once a year at least.
nice view of the Valley from the roof
Covers removed and sent down to Suzie
        Next was to remove the fan blade from the Fantastic Fan.
amazing how dirty this gets in one year
remove those 4 screws and turn the fan over
3/32  t handle hex wrench does the trick
insert there loosen  screw and remove the fan blade
     While up here I spent quite a while cleaning these vents and the roof around it. Making everything sparkle again.
yup its dirty. easy to clean in the kitchen sink now
3 minutes later looks like new again
scrubbed those covers , look so much better
       By now it was 10:30 time to stop for a light lunch. Then I made a quick trip to Forest for a few groceries we needed. The drive was relaxing, this was my break. Then back home up on the roof again. Install fan blade and all 3 covers.
       Suzie handed the clean covers back up to me (we use a strap with a hook to raise and lower them). As I installed them Suzie inside to open and close the vents to make sure no obstructions.
the covers installed much cleaner now
        Supper tonight a couple of Hayters Turkey Burgers with Onion and Parsley, we really love these. Made no far from here at Hayter's Turkey farm.
a couple of these burgers for supper tonight
         At 3 pm out Happy hour, Gerry, Melinda and Tucker dropped by to join us then Joe and Nellie and even Mike stopped by so the conversation just flowed and lotsa laughs we had. Nice that they did.  About 5 pm they all headed home to whip up suppers as is did, Just a couple of Turkey burgers on our Weber Q. quick and easy.
Tucker on his chair getting treat from Suzie
Gerry and Melinda
Joe coming back from the pool
Nellie right behind him
Mike joined us for a bit as well
quick and easy Turkey Burgers
that we love
this sure did the trick tonight before darts
      Then at 6:30 we headed down to play Darts so no more posting tonight. Maybe we win, maybe not , but we will have fun.
        These pictures I took later last night after I posted.
love seeing all the kids here having so much fun.
then  bunch of them go on the
wagon ride around the park
        Then we noticed this neighbour heading out with his Powered Paraglider what a cool rig it is. Not sure where he went to fly but not far, a bit later we saw and heard him flying over the campground.
he straps the big motor to his back
and there he is looks like fun
the view would be awesome
but really not for me.
    That was our fun productive day and another perfect summer day. Thanks for dropping by and hope you enjoyed yours as well.

  4. That's a great waterfall, thanks for taking the time to visit for us. Cleaning the fans and vent covers is not fun, ours really need it. But not sure I trust my balance enough to climb up there :)

    1. Your welcome the falls are a nice bonus being rich across the street. On the roof is not my favorite place to go but it did need to get done. If not sure maybe not do it.
