Long drive for Laundry, enjoying this weather and remembering a good friend.

Where are we today ?

      Another wonderful day in the works and very warm over night again, in fact last night about 7:30 Pm it was 95 F inside our coach, so easy fix, disconnect from power, fire up our generator and turn on both of our air conditioners. (We do have a 15 amp power hook up but on a 200 foot extension cord will not run even one AC) in an hour the temperature was a comfortable 74F. much more better Suzie happy now.. We left our windows closed for a while then before going to bed opened them up again and turned on the fantastic fan.
       Today was laundry day and no place near anymore so Kitchener is about the closest about 30 minutes away. Laundry all sorted I headed in at 7:30 this morning, and it was not busy at all. Nice commercial machines do a great job and and quickly. 50 minutes all washed and dried I folded it up and back home by 9:30. Relaxed for a few minutes and got the mower out to mow some lawn, growing like crazy here. I did around the coach while Suzie stored the laundry and moved the extension cord for for me. Stopped for a bite to eat for lunch and back on the mower until 12:30 . getting too hot time to quit this for today.
   Then a trip to New Hamburg for a few supplies, back home to relax in the shade enjoying our e-readers.
 always looks nice when mowed, just a few more acres to go
         Now at 4 Pm we headed to the funeral home in town here for visitation a good friend of ours Al Lewis had passed away the other day, have known him, his wife and 3 children for over 35 years. They were neighbours right behind us for a while then our Optimist club functions, dances etc.. and them visiting my restaurant frequently as well. Even his Daughter Paula worked there with me for a while too. And she even baby sat daughter #2. Sad to see him go. Glad we were here to visit with family and relive so many memories with them.
         As we were getting ready to go knew it was hot and this was our outside temperature . Good thing the funeral home is air-conditioned.
yup it is getting hot in the shade!
this is 38 C
      We got home just after 4:30 and the first thing into our swim suits and hop in the pool, oh my this is awesome. Water temp is very nice 79 F and crystal clear.
just me and my mermaid splashing around
      Having cooled off nicely back home to whip up a salad and quickly grill a couple of smoked pork loin chops.
just about 2 minutes a side  so tasty and tender  we do love these chops.
take the bones away about 4-5 ounces of meat
sure did the trick tonight
      Then last night just before heading inside I whipped down the road and caught another interesting sunset. We don't get them here with trees right to the west of us.
        Another day getting things taken care of, and still enjoying this wonderful hot summer weather. Feels like a bit later we will fire up our generator again to run both of our a/cs  and cool down inside . before we call it a night.
       Glad that you dropped by for a peek and hope you are enjoying this hot weather as much as we are.

    1. Thank you.
      This generator is an Onan 5500 on the coach puts out the power for a 50 amp service so will run everything on electric if needed. The pool is fun, relaxing and refreshing.

  3. You must have a very good generator I did not know they could handle two air conditioners at once. I am slowly learning.

    It is sad when a life long friend passes on. At least you were in Canada when it happened and could pay your respects.

    Nice sunset.

  7. Always hard to say a final goodbye to a friend, our condolences. Altho sad you were there to complete relationships and closure with family and friends. The June Monsoon continues to linger on this side, looking forward to some warmer weather.
