Just another day in paradise. Warm overnight, windows open for a nice cool fresh air sleep. The morning walkabouts were wonderful already in shorts at 7 am , gotta love this weather ! Chat with a few people here and there then just after 9 am a nice country drive to Forest for a few supplies.

Home for lunch then set to work giving our Weber Q a good cleaning. This cleaning was in depth and took me about 2 hours. But did give good results. The grill gets a lot of baked on carbon and the best way to clean it is with a couple of strong putty knives, narrow screwdriver and a hammer.
Scrape, and hammer away remove the burner, clean it up and soon looks like new again. This took me almost 2 hours, but heck I do have the time and the weather outside is perfect for this.

| pretty dirty |
 |
| used these tools to hack away at the grill |
 |
| under is built up too |
When done I coated the grill with vegetable oil and heated it up to season it once again. Just like a cast iron frying pan and will keep it from rusting.
 |
| now looks like new again |
Now have time to enjoy our e-readers for a while in the shade. Was gonna do the wonderful fitness centre here today, but figured I did enough today, maybe tomorrow.

| perfect spot to relax and read |
Then about 3:30 Paul (without Judy) and Monique (without Emile) joined us for happy hour. We always have Happy hour with or without company. Nice to chat with these guys for a while sharing stories and tips. Then about 5 pm I headed in to whip up a salad to go with a couple of grilled cod fillets.
Wanna get supper and dishes done so we can head down for darts at 6:45 tonight. The temperature today did get to 85 f not too bad at all and clear blue skies almost like Arizona but more humid than the desert.
