Enjoying the quiet country life here in Plattsville.

Where are we today ?

Plattsville Ontario

          This morning starts off kinda cool at 9c (thats 48f real temperature) and slowly rising until it hit 26c (78f) this afternoon. But the sun was shinning most of the day and really pretty nice.

          Got the usual stuff done and headed to Pettigrew's Garage to get our car serviced, oil change etc.. at 8 am. While there ran into a guy from town (John) we have not seen for many years, was nice to chat and catch up after all this time.

          Then off to Waterloo for a back tune up, visit, my new Chiropractor Dr. Sean Delanghe , who has taken over Bruce's practice when he retired last month after over 40 years,( I supported Bruce for 35 of those years). I really liked Bruce (Happy retirement) and Sean is an excellent replacement to take over his practice. 

          Picked up a few supplies in town and home in time for a light lunch with Suzie.

nice country view heading back into Plattsville

          After a quick bite puttered around for a bit, one thing I do with hand soap (and I know I have posted this before, just a reminder). To keep those handsoap pumps from dripping when you travel I drill a tiny (1/16inch) hole at the very top of the pump bottle. Works like a charm, no more drips, try it!

just a teeny air hole near the cap

       Then with such a nice afternoon thought I would mow some lawn. Well the mower would not start= dead battery. Gave it a boast with the car and ran about 5 minutes and quit. So gave it another boast and back to the shed, hook up battery charger and tighten battery cables. Couple hours later added gas and began mowing some lawn, worked great until I ran out of fuel. So off to the closest gas station in Ayr (15 minutes way) topped up the gas and parked it for the day. It's 5'o'clock somewhere (right here!) a cold beverage and time to begin supper anyway. Still have at least two more hours mowing before its all done, maybe soon if the rains don't happen like predicted.

this is a fun mower to use

       While I am doing this Suzie playing with Buddy and Molly, Buddies long hair is high maintenance. Not so much his mom Molly.

she enjoys brushing Buddy

they love running the yard with Suzie

       Time for me to fire up our Weber Q, grill a couple salmon fillets, today with garlic butter.

          Add that to some Ramon noodles, with broccoli, bean salad and a tasty spinach salad with wild blueberries.

yummy

       Another fun day here at Camp Awesome, always something to do and enjoy the peaceful country and small town ambience.

       Thanks for stopping by again and hope you enjoyed a wonderful summer day too.
