      After we cooled down our coach last night we got a very good sleep. A bit of rain overnight and overcast for most of today. Temps in the high 80's but 75% humidity. Our fridge is working good on electric,  but still not real cold on propane.  The Freezer is still freezing but the fridge seems to want to sit around 43F after a while on propane. So more research is needed, maybe take it to a pro when we have time.
     Got a couple of miles walked about Plattsville early this morning and took Suzie to New Hamburg to have her new glasses re done. Then back home for a light tasty lunch.
     Secured our coach and moved a few miles down the road to park at her brother's for the night . Plugged back in to power again. and stored some items here in their large shed we will not need for a couple of weeks after this weekend.

we set uo here for the night

     Looks like a storm and yup we did have some heaver rain for a awhile then stopped.  Still very warm 80+F for most of the day. We are comfortable with that.

looking stormy and we did get some rain for a bit

       Now that we are here I offered to whip up supper for the 4 of us. Thawed out some fish and pan fried with our Fish Crisp. made a salad and warmed up pork and beans (not Bushes) to go with some tasty brown rice that Sandy added.

fish and beans cooking quickly

Oh my what a tasty feast we had

   That was it for our day, other than planning for this busy weekend coming up and getting ready for the next couple of weeks, without our house.
     Glad that y'all dropped on by and really hope you had an amazing day as well.

clic a puc to enlarge if you care.

       Wow just another wonderful warm night for sleeping, almost too warm. But windows open, fantastic fan running and comforter put away we did get a very nice sleep, though.
      Up before  the sunrise at 5:30 and and really enjoyed it this morning like most when we are here.
      Just after 7 am a nice walkabout town for a couple of miles, stopped by Pettigrew's to chat with the guys for a bit
      Then hopped in the car over to Bright (5 Miles) to pick up my suit pants that were hemmed and altered slightly. This lady does an amazing very professional job and only cost $15.00. Me happy and she happy.

she does does very nice work here

      Back home and picked up Suzie we headed to the Polling Booths too vote in this years election. Who to vote for? Sorry no discussion here. We don't discuss politics or religion on this blog. But we did and made our presence made in Ontario, Being full-time rv'ers.
     Back home for lunch and I decided to mow some of the lawn around the house and yard by the pool.  Just because we I can and we be pulling out tomorrow at some point and not sure when we will return. Like to leave the yards looking nice for John.

they have a very nice house too
yard looks great right now

the corn fields to the north are really starting nicely

now this is "Camp Awesome"

     Enough  fun  for today in this heat and humidity, just got to 87F (30 C) 50 % humidity , but we are ready to relax, So relax we did in the shade under our awing with a slight breeze , perfect weather to enjoy reading outside.

reading our page turners we, did

     Then I thought maybe do some more with our fridge. So I pulled it apart again . clean the burner , and soaked the orifice  in alcohol again and all back together will see if this is any better,

burner is cleaned 

orifice like new

we have good flame

       The fridge seems to work a bit better so maybe I fixed the problem , time will tell.
        That taken care of soon time to whip up supper, tonight a couple of chicken legs and thighs on our Grill mat to go with our salad,

chicken done nicely on the mat

and our salad sure worked for us.

     Now we still outside enjoying the 80F (26C) weather  at 8:30 pm so we fired up our genny and turned on both AC's just to bring the temp and humidty down inside our coach . It is still wonderful; outside no complaints and no bugs, yup we loving it, other then the noise of our generator.
    A very nice day all around got things done and taken care of here ready to move away, visit a few people and have too much fun in the  process.
    Glad that y'all dropped by today and hope your enjoyed yours as much as we enjoyed ours.

Wonderful and sunny day , a bit cooler, service our coach and trying to resolve our fridge issues.

Where are we today ?

Plattsville Ontario

     It was a very warm night for sleeping. No blankets, windows open and fantastic fan running .but we still got a good sleep. Got a nice sunrise this morning then a walkabout town nice and early.

nice sunrise just before 6 am

nice views walking into town on River Road

     Then we secured our coach to head around the corner to Pettigrew's Garage at 8 am for Dale to service our coach. Oil change, grease job etc... is due and check things over. All that was done by 8:30 I aired the tires and topped up our fresh water tank as well while we were there.
     We have been having an issue with our fridge not working on propane, so I took the coach to RV Lifestyles in Cambridge to see if they could check it out. Sorry, too busy make an appointment in 3 weeks maybe. Hmm not gonna work for us, so back to the drawing board. I researched and did all the things suggested, cleaned the burner, orafice, (nice blue flame) check for air blockage all looks good but not cooling on propane, Hmmm. Most of the day doing this. Still scratching my head.. We need the coach this weekend for a wedding and reception in Niagara Falls New York, then Sunday back here to New Hamburg to get the body work done from our 2 accidents this spring. It will be in the shop for 10 days.

     It was cooling on electric so will see how that goes.

Now we did get to read a bit, in the shade for a while

      Then I did more research while Suzie went to her optometrist in NewHamburg to have her new glasses checked out, something not quite right.
      Then soon time for supper gonna grill and couple of Salmon burgers, and heat up some Bushe's beans to go with them along with my salad as well.

love these beans

burgers and beans on the Q and warm up a couple of
 English muffins for buns.

that did the trick

     After supper checked our fridge again on electric. hmm it is warming up again. Ok, next plan, empty our freezer and take it over to her brother's and store in their freezer. In the meantime I fired up our generator for more power on electric and after an hour it seems to be cooling again!

      So not sure what the issue is way above my pay grade it is only 5 years old and have never had an issue with it before. At least for now we can save all of our frozen food, most everything else is minimal.

      There ya go always something to keep us on our toes, never a dull moment living this lifestyle.

      Thanks for stopping on by and hope you had a wonderful day. Much cooler today only in the low 80s F but still very nice.

More wonderful hot weather, doctors appointments and a visitation.

Where are we today ? 

Plattsville Ontario

         Very warm again last night windows open, fantastic fan going and a great sleep.
         With the later sunsets we going to bed a bit later and sleeping in a bit later at 5;30 am the sun was shining in our bedroom window, awesome !  Darn missed a nice sunrise.
         But did get our coffees taken care of and a nice walk about town for a couple of miles. Then I went to a seamstress in Bright to have a pair of pants hemmed, Got this suit  from my son in law over a year ago for my mom's funeral when we flew home in January from Yuma AZ. He is much taller than me but this fits me and was going to the thrift store, just like new!  A very nice suit better than any of my old ones. So this lady here can do a nice job and it will be good to go for a wedding we have in Niagara Falls New York this weekend.
         Right  after the seamstress, I was back home to pick up Suzie and head to Stratford Ontario , only 1/2 hour away. Visitation at a funeral home for the father of some good friends, fellow rver's and bloggers. Bill (his Father) and Patsy. For 10 am. We also saw our good friends Rob and Pat there as well from Durham Ontario. We could not stay for the following funeral service, Suzie had an appointment at a clinc here in Stratford at 11:40 am.
        That taken care of we back home for a light lunch and then Suzie picked up her dad at 1:45 to take him to Kitchener for some more tests. While she was gone I hopped on the mower to finish cutting the rear couple of acres here.

just over an hour and all done for a few more days

it grows so fast at this time of year

       My chores done for the day and began another new book on my Kobo. Waiting for Suzie to return, During the day the temperature under our awnings was 102 F (38C) Inside the coach only 92 F (33C). But we outside in the shade with alight breeze and relaxing no problem here.. If we need to turn on our AC we will disconnect from our 15 amp plug and fire up our generator, maybe, maybe not. Will see how it cools down later. Quite comfortable out here right now.

my new book today, always a good read

this is easy to take

         For supper tonight gonna fry ip the last of our Yellow perch fillets in out Fry Daddy. to go with a tasty salad.

love these fresh yellow perch fillets

love our Fry daddy

only a few minutes and done to perfection

    That was our very warm spring / almost summer day. getting things done and enjoying this amazing weather. Ok here its is almost 8 pm  82f out side and 88F inside. Suzie thinks we should fire up our genny and can turn on both a/c's, just because we can,  and in no time will be much cooler inside for the night. And in less than and hour 75 f inside, almost feels cold  !
     Want to thank ya'll for dropping by and hope you had great one as well.

Relief Sale is history and a Memorial ride from Plattsville today

Where are we today ? 

Plattsville Ontario

Clic a pic to enlarge it

     So quiet here at the New Hamburg Fairgrounds after everyone has left. Got a couple of miles walked around the track here and  then we secured our coach and the 15 minute drive back to Plattsville and Camp Awesome.

everybody gone

just us and another trailer way down the road

   Back to Plattsville by 9:30m am  I hopped on the mower to cut the grass before  we parked, And did a bit more mowing around here until 11 am. Time for a lunch then mow a bit more until 12:30, Want to head to the arena for the Tyler Todd memorial motorcycle ride, At 1 PM.

        PTE Tyler Todd was killed in Afghanistan in April 2010.  A local young boy from the Plattsville area only 26 years old. Well known in the community you can read about it HERE . He was an avid motorcycle rider and every year there is a ride from town here in his honour.

this bike is in Memory of Tyler

       Not sure how many Bikers arrive every year, well over a hundred maybe 2 hundred or more. The ride takes off at 1 pm around the country side and stops by the cemetery then back here to the arena.

this year's Group of riders

they are taking off  and took over 4 minutes for them too head out of town
an impressive memorial

was kinda cool to hear the roar

     After they left I got back to Camp Awesome and resumed mowing some more of the acreage here that just keeps on growing. I called it quits at 2:45  today, maybe 75% done. About and hour left to do another day.

     With my 5.5 miles walked yesterday and 5  miles today I am ready to relax in the shade, 93 F out here so lotsa water consumed.  Reading in the shade sure sounds like a great idea.

the lawn looks wonderful freshly mowed

          Supper tonight our tasty salad and the rest of the BBQ'd chicken legs from the Relief Sale yesterday, no problem we do love our chicken.

just reheat on our Weber Q and sure did the trick,
more bones in the freezer for soup

yup did the trick tonight

      Just a nice laid back day getting things taken care of , enjoying the Motorcycle tribute, relax in the shade with my honey on an amazing hot summer weather type day.
      Glad that you stopped on by and hope your had some great weather as well.
