    Another warm night for sleeping and our last warm one for a while. Looks like down to 45F overnight and a high of only 45f tomorrow, Our heat wave is history. We enjoyed it while it was here though.
     I will start you off will a few colourful fall pictures I took around town today.

         First thing this morning we took our coach to Pettigrew's garage in town for service for 8 am.. Lube oil and filter and Dale goes over the coach thorughly for us, Brakes  should be good for another winter's travels. Belts, pulleys, hoses etc all look good and he replaced the rear sway bar bushings we had replaced about 5 years ago in Arizona , but they were not installed with the supplied lubricant like they should have been so were worn again. Ford does not sell these bushings separately, only the sway bar assembly for over $500.00.  But I found the bushings on e'Bay for only $55.00 cdn. much better deal.

new sway bar bushings

these look good 

the old ones not so much

          When got back up again at Camp Awesome by 9 am and connecting the BBQ . The annoying compartment door  kept falling. The spring lift (strut)was worn out so a quick trip to Leisure Days Rv down the road I grabbed a new one and installed it, much better now, this compartment now stays open like it should, no more hitting me in the head.

much better now

    A light lunch then to New Hamburg for a few groceries and home to relax outside for a while , not too bad at 62 F but mostly cloudy with a west wind behind us.

yup much cooler today

     We did get to read outside for quite a while , just need some warmer clothes, At 62 f not that bad compared to the upcoming weather.

still nice enough to read outside, with no sunshine

     About 4:30 a preheated our Weber Q made a tasty salad and grilled a small pork loin roast we had on our grill mat.

not long this was done perfectly,

pork loin, salad, home-made applesauce
and rhutabaga, yummy

      Supper done some more leftovers , dishes done and finish this posting, Read for a bit more and watch a detective show on tv. then soon time to call it a night.
      Oh we put our 100 pound comforter on the bed to keep us cozy with this forecasted cold weather coming, may even turn our heater on in the morning as well.
       Thanks again for stopping on by .

       A very good sleep last night and up at 5:30  again = good. The part we did not much like was how cold it was outside this morning 48F brr. furnace on for a bit to take the chill off. Not much into a walkabout so got more computing done and coffee consumed.
      Into New Hamburg for some fish and shrimp for tonight's supper and back home to compute some more, a good day for this project. Cleaning up photos, from my old laptop, and backing them up on a 128gb sd card. Never did get above 62 f all day so first time in a while I put on a sweat shirt and my jeans. Hard to believe that I was just in swimming just 2 days ago when to outdoor pool was 80F and three days ago humidex felt like 106F!
       But I do wait for these kind of days to do things like this. Suzie and I even discussed possibilities of this winters travels, as usual nothing carved in stone, but we do agree on some options we have.

this was the views most of the day

         Around 3 pm we chatted with Sandy for a bit , got a short walk about here, only got 1 mile in today :<(..
        Then whipped up a salad, thawed the shrimp and fish, then pan fried it all in the house for a tasty feast. Suzie even baked some frozen fries  in the oven we had a fish and chip dinner right here at home. Think we all enjoyed it not much left over at all.

fries. shrimp and fish, all pan fried with
our garlic butter fish crisp

it was a feast but I did manage to finish it all

     Now outside for a while working on this posting and read for a bit as well. Getting cooler by the minute sitting here, added my hoody, and can still be comfortable for a while yet.

    Then just after 7:30 I hopped in the car again out of the bush checking for a nice sunset, and guess what? I found one, bonus !

almost looks like a rainbow
over the silo

      A cooler day, fall is in the air and getting us used to what will be coming. We did enjoy it though and got other things taken car of . Always something to do. But in a few days the heat will be back again!

     Thanks for dropping on by and hope you had a great day as well.
