Generator starter issue is diagnosed thanks to Jim.

Where are we today ?
        Just more fun in the sun. Early morning coffees, computing and walkabouts on another day with great weather. Temps in the low 80's (28c) and mostly sunshine.

nice trails, back to camp

        Then into Buckhorn for a few items, especially the fresh picked Ontario strawberries so ripe and sweet.
       Home for lunch and our friend Jim stopped over to check out our generator. He is a retired automotive electrician so after some checking he assessed that the starter on the generator is drawing too much current. After he figured out how to remove it found that it was seized.

this be our starter
        Well he just happens know someone that rebuilds starters and is going there on Wednesday so he will have it checked out for us! Now how is that for a friendly rv'er?? Hopefully it will be repaired or replaced before this long weekend, we are leaving here next Tuesday, July 1st. Reports to follow up at a later date.
        We did get to enjoy some reading in the shade for a while then about 4 pm wandered over to Jim and Sharon's for a nice "Happy (social) Hour", chat for a while and return home to whip up supper.
        Tonight a tasty mixed salad, with some left over chicken, fresh steamed asparagus and a few rice crackers. Really did the trick for us.
so filling too
      That was our day of fun in the sun, and did get some progress on our generator too.
      Once again like to thank y'all for stopping in and hope your summer weather is as nice as ours,
