Put it back together, reinstalled it and working ok again. Landon & Charlie sleeping here with us tonight.

Tuesday, July 17, 2018
Me, Ruby, Noel, Damien, Payton, Landon & Charlie left here shortly after 11 am and drove to Pinery Provincial Park near Grand bend. Got things all set up and had a relaxing evening roasting wieners over the camp fire for supper and enjoying the grand kids.
Wednesday, July 18, 2018
After Noel did a feed of bacon & eggs for breakfast we got ready and all went to Grand Bend for most of the day. Walked the street downtown, visited the beach to check it out and had a late lunch before we headed back to the park. When we got back to the park Sarah was there and spent the night with us.
Thursday, July 19. 2018
Another bacon & egg egg breakfast from Noel in the morning. Then all into Grand Bend for a few hours on the beach - did some swimming and the grandkids enjoyed the splash pad. Then Sarah headed back home as she had to work and we went back to the park for the evening. After supper we started packing away a few things to get ready to leave in the morning.
Friday, July 20, 2018
Up this morning and took down and packed away Noel's tent before him, Damien & Payton left for London as Payton had a doctor's appointment. Me, Ruby, Landon & Charlie put down the hard top camper, hooked it up and after stopping at the park restaurant for breakfast headed back home. When we got home Noel was there and we unloaded everything. Then me and Noel installed a new circuit board in our grinder pump. Before we hooked up the pump we did some checking on the trailer voltage and found that it was low and dropped even lower when things were turned on. This seems to be the reason why the pump keeps blowing the circuit board so i'm going to run a bigger & shorted cable from the house to the trailer to see if it works better. The pump is back in service. we have to be careful that there is not too much running in the trailer when it's being used for now. After supper I went into Woodstock to see if I could get a the required cable but couldn't find one.
