     These cooler nights are wonderful for sleeping, again 52 F at 6am,. and by 11 it was a very nice 79 F. After a wonderful early walkabout the campground checking it out very busy as predicted pretty well full for the long Holiday weekend, (Civic Holiday Monday for Ontario) . And lotsa fun activities and things going on too.

    After giving the coach a good washing yesterday no sense in that going to waste, So by 9 am I got to work to finish the polishing on the curb side of our coach. First Meguire's oxidization remover, then Meguiars' Liquid Ultimate Polymer wax I really like, wipe on wipe off.  Once the polishing was done stopped for lunch at 10:30. Right after lunch a quick trip to Forest Canadian tire and back home. When Gerry was here for Happy hour yesterday he mentioned a product Spray that would clean it. I have tried many product over the last 13 years with no luck. They had some so I gave it a try. WOW spray on a cloth then a scrubby sponge and heck it looks like new again ! I spent an hour on this , happy again.
buffing out the oxidization and dirt
campground very busy this weekend
a nice country drive to Forest
this worked amazing on our trim
thanks Gerry!
before on the right after on the left 
      Below its what I use in the coach does and amazing job!
compound and wax is wonderful , so easy to use
did the job  an we are happy with it
      Then 30 minutes to apply the wax and wipe off to a brilliant shine.  Yahoo. this is now done, sure feels good. This wax lasts at least a year, but I may do it again in a few months if the spirit moves me and conditions are right. Usually I only need to use the oxidization remover once every 3-4 years if I keep it well waxed, it  also works on scratches as well.
     Now 2 pm time stop for the day, 87 F now put stuff away relax a bit in the shade,do some reading then Happy hour time anyway at 3pm.
     A bit later a  good friend Ron stopped by to join  us and we shared many stories, flapped our gums and had a wonderful time.
Ron telling stories as usual
         Just before 5 pm fired up our Weber Q and grilled some chicken legs and thighs for tonight supper to go with our tasty salad.
chicken done to perfection and of course more leftovers 
tasty to go with our salad hit the spot
        Then after this posting we will head down to the Clubhouse pavilion to check out the the Father daughter Band with Chris and Sarah. Hopefully outside we can enjoy it on the lawn.
     The sunset pictures I got last night. Not great but at least we managed to see it setting right from our campsite.
last night's sun set
   That was  our productive day enjoying this wonderful summer weather and getting a few more things taken care of, Taking every day as it comes.
   Hope you enjoyed your day as well and thanks you for dropping by for a peek.

        Still having some amazing weather and looks like it will be here for a while yet. Not a problem here that's for sure. Another good sleep. got the coffees and computing all done and outside for a bit then at 8am I went the Hemmerick Hearing in New Hamburg, my one hearing aide quit working last night.
        Sheri gave it a quick check and got it working again made a few adjustments and working like new again. Back home puttered around for a while and enjoyed an early light tasty lunch.
        Then it was getting hot again but wanted to do a bit more polishing and waxing on our coach while I have the use of John's 6 foot ladder for the higher areas at least. About an hour and I called it quits for today, I got the upper areas done in the shade of our awning but heck it was hot in that hour I consumed a litre of water. Also found that this Mcguiar's  oxidization remover cleaned up our fading vinyl graphics as well wonderful stuff this is. Only need to do a bit more of the higher areas another day, won't take long, and the rest I can do from the ground no ladder needed. I will get more done when it was not quite so hot.
I polished and waxed above the trim line today
the red and green graphics like new again
      A bit latter we are relaxing in the, shade Suzie and I went to the pool for a very nice refreshing swim, perfect. And you know it is hot when she goes in the pool. Perfect here all to ourselves again. Water temp perfect at 80F. Air temps about 92F.
then our usual view, that we love
        Relax a bit more in the shade, now that the sun is off our awning, enjoyed a quiet Happy hour before whipping up supper. Tonight reheat the leftover primavera (stir fry) Suzie brought home from last night and fried up some Pickerel/Walleye fillets in our fry Daddy to go with it,
we really do love our fry daddy
perfect fried fish in just a few minutes
the primavera stir fried was excellent
even better than last night  she said
a wonderful meal we both enjoyed
oh so tasty
       Now supper done, dishes done we can enjoy some of this warm summer weather outside. Finish this posting read for a while longer. Listen to the birds, mourning doves, and watch the bunnies and squirrels skittering around. Nothing like this country living. 
      That was our great day hope you had one as well. Thanks again for taking the time to drop on by.
      Maybe catch a sunset later on and will post that tomorrow.

      More of this wonderful warm weather, and a wonderful nights sleep again all the way until 6 am? Wow this is wonderful. Got some coffees and computing done then at 7:30 this morning I did a quick trip to New Hamburg for more gas for the mower and a few groceries while I was there, more salad stuff. Suzie needed the car and had to leave just after 9am to pick up another batch of copied books at Staples in Stratford and met with a woman there to deliver her Genealogy books. Then she came back via Tavistock to drop off another book,
we get lovely morning sun on our patio
took this at 7 am
todays weather , perfect
        A few pics below of the books Suzie has been working on and so many people are interested , That is wonderful 175 pages per book with tabs etc. She recovers the printing costs and that is about it, But she does not want anything for her time etc.. She really does enjoy it. And hopes to get updates from the families every year.
all the tabs for the various decendents  
the tree
John Stere front row 3rd from the left
all his 13 kids are there
Suzie's Gramma in the white dress, she just got home from
working the market 
        While Suzie was gone I decided to polish and wax the large slide out on the drivers, side, This took just over an hour and now that side is all done. Before` it gets too hot out there again. By 11 am it was 93F under our awning and 60% humidity (consuming lots water) that ends that for today. Suzie was home by noon and we enjoyed a light tasty lunch, My usual cold, left over grilled chicken meat, 1/2 an apple and 1/2 a banana.
looking much better now a nice shine again
       When I finished mowing the lawn I looked in the sky at the clouds. And what did I spot? Looks to me like Clemson flying by for a visit, He was Patsy and Bill's puppy for 15 years and sadly had to move on and I am sure they miss him as we do too, he was such  a character. We enjoyed spending time with him and them the last few years.
looks like Clemson flying by for a visit with us
at least that's what I see.
        Now with only about an hour of lawn mowing left to do I hopped on the mower and finished up the 1.5 acres. Then time to relax in the shade enjoying our page turners.
the lawn nicely mowed again,
enjoying the smell of fresh cut grass
 
Suzie assembling more books
with the pages she picked up today
all these books are sold until she gets more orders
         For supper tonight we decided on some Shrimp Kabobs with the Rocky Point shrimp we bought in Mexico earlier this year. These are amazing and so fresh when we bought them, Froze some for later use and this is one of those uses.
nice sized shrimp and a very good price
       I assembled a couple of these Kabobs and grilled some fresh asparagus I picked up today. Not long on our preheated Weber Q and done to perfection.
smells wonderful
added to our salad was ecellent
       I had a comment the other day what we use for mosquitoes and the best we have found over the years is these clip on Off you can see below. Put the cartridge in and  2 triple A batteries work extremely well. They do keep the skeeters away. Usually at dusk when we are outside here at night.
these work really well for us
sometimes the torch works well as well
      Last night did not think we had a sunset with the overcast skies, but took a short drive down River road anyway , And was really surprised to get these interesting colourful sunset  photos.
a real treat last night for sure
     That was our busy day enjoying this perfect weather, hope ya:ll enjoy your day as well.
     Thanks for dropping on by.

Polishing our coach. enjoying this weather, a dip in the pool and a tasty supper.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
      More wonderful weather and even warmer today, Ya hoo!! A nice 1.5 mile walkabout town , then I set to work on our Coach before it gets too hot.
my one hand polisher
compound and wax

It really needs a good cleaning
on the right to looks much better
all done and so clean and shiny
        So I got John's 6 foot ladder (works better than my 5 foot one) Got my supplies out 6 inch Random orbital polisher, Meguires Ultimate compound and Meguires Ultimate liquid wax. Then I set to work on the worst parts left rear side in the shade I got started by 10 am compounding the oxidization and stains all the way up to the slide out, the trick with the compound I found is to us it very wet, works much better. Then the wax I love wipe on wipe off, by 11:30 I was done, sun coming around and our thermometer under the awning was saying 99F . Lots of water consumed today for sure. This part of the coach looks so much better just like new again. I will get more done when the weather co-operates. And I am in the mood or have time haha...
    While I was doing this Suzie and her Dad went to their Chiropractor in Waterloo and she was back home for lunch by 12:30.
     Then I hopped on the mower and mowed the front couple of acres around the house and pool for about 90 minutes, By now it was still very hot so a quick dip in the pool to cool down, Happy hour here in the shade enjoying this peaceful country setting, and our page turners.
down the main  street to view all the Canadian flags for
Canada Day on Monday
enjoying our views of the fresh mowed lawn
Suzie enjoying this very warm weather a s well outside
      Soon was time for supper and leftovers it will  be. Sure leftover Cauliflower pizza from th other night and the rest of my chicken from Anna Mae's yesterday as well as the rest of our potato salad to go with it.
      Suzie headed out to visit with her Dad for a bit a meeting to do with their church I think after supper she with be home when she gets here probably not too late.
chicken a pizza reheated on our grill mat
this sure did the trick tonight
easy peasy
had few mosquitoes in the air
these keep them away from us
    And last night around 9 pm I whipped down the road and caught a nice sunset for us to enjoy.
   
      Maybe I will catch another sunset tonight. If I do you will see it tomorrow.
       Want to that y''all for joining us today and hope that  you had a wonderful day as well.
