Where are we today ?
We had the Blood Moon here too like most people in North America and around the world. But our pics aren't nearly as good as most. I did manage to get a couple pics with the cloud cover off and on most of the night.
Today a quite a few walkabouts under my belt and noticed water gurgling up on the lawn across from our campsite. So maintenance guy John set to work to check for the source of this water. At least the water leak was not in our coach!
No fooling around out comes the back hoe, got to dig down 4 feet to find the water line. We had a ring side seat. This was a major main line break. The water for the whole park was shut off for over 3 hours, but no problem we have water in our fresh water tank.

After lunch headed over to go for a swim in the pool and soak in the hot tub. Love it this time of year, very quiet.

Checking progress and still enjoying some great weather we managed to get some quality reading time in this afternoon as well. Gonna cool down in a few days so will take the warmth while it's here.
Supper tonight is a couple Fish and chip burgers I thought we would try. Cod Burgers with a potato chip coating. A couple cobs of fresh local corn we picked up yesterday in Tavistock at a farmer's roadside stand to go with our salad.

| pan fired burgers an the corn on the grill |
Made some tarter sauce for the burgers and enjoyed these burgers very much, very tasty. Corn was excellent as well.
 |
| sure did the trick tonight |
See always something to keep us busy no matter where we are.
And as usual thank you for stopping by again to check us out.
Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Spring and Summer.
We couldn't see the blood moon because it was overcast and rainy here in SC, so I enjoyed seeing your pictures. :c)
ReplyDeleteToo bad you did not get to see it was awesome !
DeleteAwesome photos of the moon. Too many clouds here in Florida to see it clearly.
ReplyDeleteWhat a messy job that water line repair was.
I'll take the hot tub...thank you very much.
Thanks, it sure was a messy job.
DeleteThe Hot tubes is really nice and not crowded this time of year.
Glad the leak wasn't yours.
ReplyDeleteYes we are too, but have had our share of water leaks.
DeleteWe were cloud covered down here so we are seeing it on other blogs.
ReplyDeleteGlad that leak wasn't in your coach. I'm sure John will enjoy a lower water bill.
That looks like a different way to enjoy Fish & Chips.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Cloudy here to but did get a couple clear shots.
DeleteThe Fish & Chips burger was excellent.
Fortunately, I didn't have a single water leak to fix this year here at the park. Good thing, because I don't have a backhoe!

Lucky for you, it is a big jib even with a backhoe
DeleteWe're seldom in an RV park, so it's a novelty sitting outside and watching the RV next to us... water dripping from the hose that feeds the RV.... constant drip. We also watched a new neighbor back into their site next to us today... and pull up and back up, and pull up and back up etc.... hey... those RV parks can be entertaining! Glad the guy got that water line fixed... looks like a job Bill would love to have done ;-)
ReplyDeleteRv parks can be every entertaining, have watched people for well over an hour trying to back into a site, then finally give up and try another site, entertaining yes !
DeleteJohn would have loved to have Bill here, another water leak to fix today I think.
You had some great shots of the blood moon.
ReplyDeleteAren't you glad you weren't the one having to dig up those pipes. I'm sure they're happy it's fixed and the digging is behind them too.
Thanks , like you said , sure glad it was not me.
DeleteThat job is behind them but looks like they may be another water leak somewhere else.
Nice to be able to see and photograph that moon. Broken water lines are bad, broken sewer lines, worse!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to actually see the Blood moon even for a bit .
DeleteYep you are right about that!
we too couldn't get a peek at the moon, maybe next time ;)
ReplyDeleteThats too bad it was a wonderful sight to see.
DeleteMy pictures of the moon were not as good as yours! I have lots of studying to perfect these night time photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteMy little Pansonic P&S has a setting for night time scenery. Just set it for that and set on a tripod, does a time exposure and works pretty good.
Your moon pictures turned out pretty well. We couldn't even see it for cloud cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks, we got lucky between the cloud cover that was moving through.
DeleteThanks for the Blood Moon pictures. I didn't get to see it.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to get a few shots and turned out not too bad I thought.
