A relaxing saturday ..

Where are we today ?
Arkona Ontario

        A wonderful bright and sunshiny summer morning, just love these kind of days. We sure have had a nice hot summer. Said goodbye to our friends Bill and Barb as they packed up and headed back to New York, see then again in October.

        Walkabouts and just putter around a bit. An issue with our Shaw/ direct satellite dish that I diagnosed, kept me busy for a couple hours. On friday afternoon our friends from Goderich parked beside us and told them that they could plug into our dish as we both use Shaw. After a bit we lost the signal, and I thought maybe the trees that we are under. So moved the dish and got a great signal for 2 minutes. Hmm, it was on then off, then on. This is the first time in years that I have had trouble setting up my our dish. I set it up usually in a few mintes, no problem. Well eventually I unplugged their PVR receiver and we have a 90% signal. Plug them back in and no signal. I fixed it, they just can't watch tv with our dish. Not sure why this happened because we have shared it before with other friends that use the same system as us.
        So happy that I resolved that issue we can now enjoy our books in the shade for a while, even a nice breeze on this hot sticky day. Soon time for supper so just fired up our Weber to make a couple bacon cheeseburgers loaded with all the fresh toppings and of course we enjoy a few crispy fries on the side as well.

        An after supper walkabout then stoke up the John and Wendy's firepit for our last campfire of the week with them, they head home tomorrow. It's been a busy fun week. Their weeks vacation went by so fast. Actually come to think of it we have been on vacation/ holidays for over six years and that has gone by pretty quick too.

        Thanks again for taking the time out of your busy day to stop by, glad to have you.
