      Hey it was cold last night, 39 F (3C) at 6 am today, no frost so that's good. But we all nice and cozy in bed. So that was a good thing. Did not take long to fire up our Mr. Heater and get the temps up to 70 f. Quite comfortable then the sun came out and was wonderful !
     A few early morning walkabouts enjoying the warm sunshine, and another perfect view across the pond.

love the reflections here

      With out Mr. Heater running and warming us up we had a propane smell. So need to check that out. Think it needs to be cleaned. I usually do it twice a year spring and fall. but don't remember doing it this spring. Not a problem disconnect and our friend Rob came over. We took it all apart check everything out blew dust and dirt out with my compressor, Reassembled and check it all out. Works like new again!

our Mr'Heater still like new after 10 years

        Now because we removed all our carpet and throw rugs wanted a new location for it so needed a 5 foot propane hose (we have a 12 ft one). So I made a quick trip to Strathroy Canadian Tire and got exactly what we needed. Now all hooked up again, no propane smell and exactly where we want it.
          This done and we can now enjoy a very warm sunny afternoon, outside. No clouds, no wind where we are so into shorts, t-shirt and sandals for me, enjoying our e-readers. Gotta love it !

what a wonderful warm sunny day!

      Around 3:30 Rob and Pat joined our sunny site for happy hour and Tucker dragged Gerry here as well. This is nice Suzie gets her doggie fix and Tucker gets his treat.

no shorts for Suzie, she is a wus,, lol...

High 5 with Tucker

second treat for him, that's all he gets

we do have a nice sunny spot and no wind

Tucker and Gerry

          Then as it cools down a bit I preheated our Weber Q, whipped up a salad and enjoyed a couple of very tasty,  tender pork chops. Using the grill mat leaves wonderful grill marks, keeps the grill clean and the chops nice and moist.

yummy? yup

       Supper done and dishes done now to enjoy some time outside , posting this blog and reading as long as we can until it gets too chilly. Did get to 67F (19C) today and much warmer in the sun. But soon cooling down quickly as the sun begins to set.
      Watching the news of the Hurricane and thinking about friends that live there in Florida, hope you guys are safe and secure somewhere, Jim and Michelle.
      Thank y'all for dropping in today and hope that you too are out of the paths of these Hurricanes and storm surges.

        First maintenance today was my early morning walkabout, maintain my body. Only an mile or so but better than none. Of course after my morning oatmeal to give me energy for the walkabout.
       Next was to drain and flush our hot water tank I like to do this this once a year. And a perfect day to do it. Water tank cooled down over night so pull the plug and give it a good rinse with my wand, lotsa calcium rinsed out. This is an Atwood water tank so no anode rod required. This tank is 18 years old and still does a great job.

tanks drained and flushed

then install a new plastic plug, always a new one,
I tried reusing then and have broken off 2, lesson learned.

           Now to change our water filter cartridge. that we also do this once a year.  Of course chat with a few people here and there to keep my speech maintained as well.

the filter sure does its job, new one on the right
I am sure you can figure that out

filter reinstalled in our compartment

        Then a light lunch more maintaining our healthy bodies, or so we hope and energy levels. Fruits and veggies for lunch.

         After lunch more walkabouts just to keep my body moving, and then to relax and maintain our reading skills and our fresh air intake as well as some more vitamin D. Need that as well for energy maintenance. 

relax with our readers enjoying this amazing day, up to 82 f (27C)

Even maintained a doggie fix for Suzie when Tucker stopped by

loving this weather

Oli delivering firewood 5 bucks a bundle

        Now to maintain a bit more energy a light supper with Hot Dogs and Bushe's baked Beans. quick and easy, a nice treat. Maintain our fibre intake.

grilled some asparagus too

loaded hot dog, peanut butter, tomato, onions, relish mustard and mayo
fresh strawberries for early desert

       Earlier today we had been invited over to good friends Paul and Terri's for some of Terri's birthday cake at 6 pm. Gotta do it and help celebrate with the gang.

Terri on the laft

what an amazing cake, chocolate, caramel, pretzels,
so good I had to have another piece,
strange for me as I don't usually eat desert
maintaining my calorie intake,!
ok maybe went over board.

      We had a lot of fun  chatted with lotsa people enjoyed the activities and met new people as well.  This is what this lifestyle is all about right? We meet so many wonderful people.

love the long curly hair on this young fellow,
is it not amazing?

so moist and tasty

wagon ride came by and everyone waved

       Soon time to head back home, finish this posting, read a bit more outside, smell the neighbours wonderful campfire and enjoy another lovely sunset.

sunsets not too bad here

      That was our day just maintaining this lifestyle that we love and this wonderful warm sunny spring day.

        Hope y'all had a great day as well and glad that ya dropped on by. After 9 pm and still outside in shorts and no bugs!

We head south Oct 18, 2017Countdown

       Another wonderful fall day here. A but chilly for a while though sunny most of the day and felt like puttering around outside. Got some nice walkabouts this morning and picked up some Pickerel at the reservation in Kettle point, sure do love pickerel when we can get it. And some cheap gas for our car .91 cents a litre ($3.44 cdn / gal, $2.02 US dollars) compared to .97 cents, took 40 litres so was a nice savings.
       After lunch of a very tasty Beef Barley homemade soup from our friends Paul and Judy(thanks guys), I flushed our fresh water tank after sanitizing, lubed all of our compartment doors, hinges and locks, checked and topped up our house batteries, touched up a bit of paint and even had time to get some quality reading time done outside. Was a wonderful day in the mid 70's and mostly sunshine, very nice...

Suzie doing what she enjoys
while I putter, too cool for her in the
shade so she bundles up a bit

        Then about 3:30 I fired up our Weber Q and prepped the chicken, turn to low close the lid for an hour or so, and I can read some more. It is a tough life ya know !

Chicken on sale so just had to do another

       We do love chicken, leftovers for lunch time salads etc, and of course more chicken soup in the near future, got to get some mileage from our $5.00 chicken 3-4 meals at least.

sure hit the spot tonight

     Then after supper enjoyed a nice mild evening, blogging and reading outside until about 7:45 then time to head in, getting chilly.  It gets cooler sooner every day. Cane is just in time the rain began at  8pm and pouring down pretty good right now. Love the sound of rain on our roof.

      And glad that y'all dropped by for a peek.
