last time here at "Camp Awesome" until the spring 
     As usual up early 5 am got some computing and coffees, done, exercises for my back and actually feel pretty good , Back and leg doing well and got a nice walkabout around 7 am. At 7:30 we secured the coach and down the street to Pettigrew's Garage, Dale gets our coach all set for the winter, Lube oil, filter, check everything out and changed the oil and filter on our generator as well.      
     After he was done we hooked up the car and headed down the back roads to Rock Glen Resort, our home membership park where we get full hookups and no overnight fees. Yup we make good use of this system that is for sure.
Love these back country roads, so peaceful
next to no traffic
       We pulled into Rock Glen resort at 11 am check in and set up on our favourite site and had lunch by 12. noon.
again a perfect late day here still pretty warm only got to
92 f (33C) 
      Got my exercises and ice packs done for my leg and back now really feel amazing about 95% pain free and I can do my walkabouts again. Yahoo !
      Got to enjoy our e-readers in the shade for a while, our friend Ron stopped by for a chin wag nice to see him again.
Walt, Barb and Maya stopped to say hi,
Suzie got her doggie fix through the car window .
         About 4:30  turned on our Air conditioner for a bit (Suzie's request) inside about 94 f so is now nice and comfy inside for her.
        Me, I whipped up our salad and grilled couple of Turkey Garlic sausage on our Weber Q 100 to go with it.
Love these lean turkey garlic sausage, so very tasty
and healthy
what a tasty supper we had
      After supper outside to relax and enjoy this amazing warm weather still with us. Our friend Paul stopped by to chat for a bit, I finished posting this blog, Read a bit more then head on inside to join Suzie in front of the tube.

Relocating to Plattsville for a week and watch 2 grands play hockey

Where are we today ?
clic a pic to enlarge it
      A warm night again nice sleeping with our windows open and awnings down listening to the rain, so calming it is. Then up early and did manage a couple of short walkabouts between the rain drops. Waiting for it to let up a bit before we hook up our car to head on out. Only have a 90 minute drive on the back country roads so no big rush.
      By 10 am we were all secured and head on out. Stopped at the Go Co on highway 22 right on our way to top up our propane only. 62.9 cents a litre, and fuel our coach as well.$1;15 a litre.
love the quiet country roads
this is the traffic that is here in the country
       Enjoying the nice back roads arrived in Plattsville at noon, had a bite to eat and got set up. Quick trip to New Hamburg for a prescription refill  and a Turkey for our Canadian Thanksgiving, no go, they are sold out of Turkeys! go figure. So will check around a bit more.
       Shortly after 3 pm the skies opened up but I did get our awning out and secured, so we are nice a dry here. Temps dropped to only about 70 f but still nice and comfy outside. Weber Q hooked up and for supper tonight a couple of our favourite Onion and Parsley Turkey burgers will do the trick. Nice and tasty they are.
yup we had rain for a bit
we do love camping here so peaceful
       Fired up our Weber Q to preheat and grilled our Turkey Burgers, That's it for supper tonight we don't need any thing else.
loaded burger sure did the trick tonight
     Supper and dishes done then down to the Arena to watch 2 our grands play hockey, Number 4 has a tryout at 6 pm and Number one an exhibition game from 8:15 till 9:20. Kinda late for us but maybe we can do it!
      Down to the arena to watch Grandson #4 in the tryouts,and as usual he is amazing! But heck what else can we say? He is our grandson!
he is a spitfire on the ice, easy to spot
ready to go
       Back home for a bit and then to see Grandson number 1 in an exhibition game at 8:15 tonight. It is only a couple of blocks away from Camp awesome .
      So back we go and enjoy this game and wow what a fast paced game it was. These guys really move and now have body contact, This was amazing hockey that we really enjoyed, And am sure the boys did as well.
that is him number 9 plays defence
non stop action 
      They played 3 full periods and ended up tied with score  1 to 1. His team was 2 men short when they tied the game. Not to bad for an exhibition game.
       Got to chart with him for a bit after the game then head back home, finish this posting and tome  to call it a night. So nice to get together with the family and watch our grandchildren doing their best with  the sports that they love. 
       Thanks for stopping by and really hope you a wonderful day as well.

       Another wonderful day in the forecast. Visiting with Chris and Bill this morning for a bit then a nice country walk down the road for a while after coffees and computing . The morning sunshine is wonderful, nice and warm.
nice and quiet here for my morning walk
this be their place
this used to be tobacco country and still a few of these
drying sheds around
this where we are parked, beside their driving shed
       After chatting for a while and more coffee we said our see ya laters, secured the coach, hooked up the car and headed on down the road about 10:30 am. Later than usual but only a 2 hour drive today.
nice back country roads most of the way, so peaceful and no traffic.
         By 12;30 we checked into Rock Glen resort our home membership park that we can enjoy 2 weeks free camping with full hookups. And we make good use of it year round. Many more parks that we can stay at with the same features.
here we are all set up, after making a light tasty lunch
one site away from the one we prefer, but someone
 has booked it for a few days
so we can stay here for2 weekend not have to move.
still a nice view, weather pretty nice except for  a
bit of rain at 4:10pm.
       We did get some quality reading time in. I finished a Robert Crais book and started another. I am really enjoying this author.
my new book that I have started
        Supper on our Weber Q tonight I cooked a salmon fillet for Suzie and a Tuna steak for me. The salmon fillet is easy to do but the Tuna is pretty precise to get it done the way I like it,( 2 minutes a side ) for that recipe click HERE or my recipe blog top right side bar.
in no time supper is done
My tuna and salad
perfect !
Suzie's salmon and salad
     This sure hit the spot for the 2 of us and now we can enjoy a wonderful warm evening outside on a pretty nice mild, bug free evening with no wind. Posting this blog and more reading time in. This is what we really enjoy about this lifestyle.
      Just want to thank you again for taking the time to drop in for a peak.
only 91 miles today mostly quiet back roads
