Just another relaxing evening here at Chris and Bills. After chatting with them for a couple of hours last night. Into bed and a very good nights sleep in our own bed, This morning as usual the rooster was up and crowing about 5 am, but I beat him today ! Got some computing and a pot of coffee taken care of then a nice walk down the road and back about a mile, Gets me going in the morning.Chatted with Chris and Bill for a while outside about 7:30 am after they had fed the horse and dogs, and had picked many quarts of strawberries, (gave us some oh so tasty)
nice sunrises here |
Getting ready head on out |
lots of fresh strawberries oh so tasty |
Ginseng is very popular in this area replaces the failing tobacco crops |
Thanks to a recommendation from Kelly of the Bayfield Bunch. He did find some issues mostly the propane lines were plugged with sludge from the propane we get when we are down south in the winters. Apparently the propane there is not refined as well with the warmer temperatures, as we have here in the cold north. So sludge (oil) can cause issues. He disconnected the lines and blew out the sludge and propane pressure went from 1 lb to about 10 bs where it should be.,we have a much better flame for our fridge and hope that this takes care of our issues. He really knows his stuff and showed me a few tips to keep things working well.
Time will tell with todays temp to 95 F Feels like much more than 100 plus f with the humidity) this fridge will be working very hard as will our AC.
Jim Gammon doing his stuff |
this be his shop |
got here about 12;30 and all set up |
We got our AC going with the outside temp at 95F and humidity 90 % was pretty sticky out here. We enjoyed some nice breezes in the shade reading and our friend Paul dropped by to chat for a while, until the rain sprinkles began.
supper tonight a salad with son leftover roast pork from the other night |
Did manage to finish this posting and get a few more pages turned on our e-readers.
So far looks like our fridge is working (fingers crossed) and we can now read for a while.
Want to thank y'all for taking the time to check us out and hope you day was a great one as well.

Glad he was able to get the fridge working. (Hopefully)
ReplyDeleteToo bad he is retiring. I enjoyed the wedding post. Your rig almost had the best seat in the house :)
Kelly
Think the fridge it working better will know in the morning. Thanks Kelly for the referral he really knows his stuff. Sad to see no one taking over his business,
DeleteWe did have the best seating in the house for the wedding for sure.
If the fridge is working correctly now then it was the issue with the different propane. Good to know that this could cause a problem. I enjoyed all your pictures of the wedding. That was probably a stress free event where everyone wore casual. The food looked absolutely scrumptious. That caterer should be recommended.
ReplyDeleteHopefully your RV steps will get fixed also and no more items on the to do list. Enjoy the RV park.
That sludge in the propane appears to be have been the issue, but them our coach is 20 years old took a long time to block those lines. The wedding was very stress free, everyone had a great time. The caterer is very well lnpown in this area and extremely busy.. I will get the steps fixed again and eventually something else will come along that needs attention.
DeleteIs there a way to filter the propane? Kind of like the filter on the Big Buddy heater?
ReplyDeleteI had asked him that but apparently no way to filter the propane
DeleteFolks around here go up in the mountains to collect ginseng but I never realized it could be farmed.
ReplyDeleteYes they do a lot if Ginseng farming here in this sandy soil, apparently good money in it.
DeleteI never heard of propane causing problems like that. Glad you got it fixed. Your step? What's up with that?? Something must be binding up to keep breaking it. Hope you find a solution!!
ReplyDeleteI knew propane has some residue in it, and we use a lot of being full-time for the last 12 years. And our coach is 20 years old. When we buy a lot in the south and bring it back here the cold weather cause the less refined propane in the warmer weather. He has seen this quite a few times.
DeleteThe part that broke this time was one I thought I fixed, but guess not. The step seems to move very easily , maybe the step covers are causing an issue.
That was interesting about the difference in propane here and up your way. Hoping it fixed the problem for good. What a wonderful weekend you had! Those strawberries look awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting and I believes he knows what he is talking about after 35 years in the business. The weekend was awesome and the strawberries of so good !
DeleteNothing beats strawberries right from the patch!
ReplyDeleteThats for sure they were awesome !
DeleteWho would think the propane would be different? Glad you have a solution, makes everyone else sit up and pay attention too.
ReplyDeletetoo bad about the step, there must be a way to fix it for good. Good luck.
Enjoy the park.
Interesting information and an easy fix with the propane.
DeleteThe easy fix is very expensive , a new electric step, glad I can still get parts for it. A new electric step for this coach is about $1,500
Hope you can soon get your step fixed, would be a nuisance. We don't have one like yours, just a step from a hardware store that we bring out when we stop. Have sometimes forgotten to put it back in the van when we move on so an electric one would be good for us. We have just had a week away but it is so cold here that we will stay home now for a couple of months until the weather warms up. You might like to look at my web site and see some of our trips. I really enjoy following your adventures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosemary , the part is on order should be here this week. And fixed up again. Soon your winter will be over and you can head on out again.Enjoy more travels.
