        Got a nice walkabout town early this morning then secured our coach for the 10 minute drive to the New Hamburg Fairgrounds for the Mennonite Relief Sale. Got here about 10 am and all set up. Only 2 other rv's here right now.
walkabout plattsville this morning
all set up here now
new parts did the trick
      Once set up I set to work to change these thermostats below for the propane part of our hot water heater. Easy fix and only a $20.00 part. Got that done and gave it a test. Just like it has always done before runs almost an hour them shuts off, now we have hot water again, yippee !
just like new again
        Right across from us nobody here yet
    I did a walkabout around 11 am as they were setting up. making progress and lots of mud.

       By this time I had enough and headed home, but Suzie hung out for a bit longer to watch nephew Greg auction a few items.

       We had a fun busy day, fixed our water heater, new places new faces and some tasty food. Not much rain and some sunny skies. Was wonderful. Tomorrow will be even busier but this it what we do here , just have too much fun. Nice that we are camped here, don't need to deal with traffic and can walk home to relax anytime we feel like. 
       Thanks for stopping in and hope you had a wonderful day as well.

Where have we been this summer ?

  5. While Getting ready for Road Trip 2017 I discovered my water heater is fine on electric, but gas flame looks good for a second and then shuts off. Looks like I'll be replacing the thermostat too, bet we have the same Atwood heater. What is the wood frame in front of Suzie? It's in the photo of her and dad in front of your RV.
