Where Are We Today
Rock Glen Family Resort
Arkona Ontario
We have started our migration to the
southwest, albeit a short first leg, we are on our way. The first leg took us
from "The Ridge" to our home park, Rock Glen Family Resort, here in
Arkona Ontario. Here we will spend a week
saying good bye to family and friends, getting schedule maintenance done to the
truck, some last minute groceries and supplies and most important, waiting
for our friends Rob and Pat to join us this Saturday, as we will be travelling
together this winter. That adventure we are so looking forward to, will
start on Sunday, Oct. 28th, 2018. For details on the day to day adventures,
check out "chillin with patsy", which most of you read.

In this post, to get back in the flow
of writing, I thought I would write about one of my fall projects. This one
is about the wind screen that I made for our "Weber Q BBQ", not an
original idea of mine, but one from George, from "Our AwesomeTravels". I must admit that this has been something on the to do list for
at least two years, so it's about time.

| Wind Screen and Plywood |
I had a piece of metal roofing left
over from building" The Hangar ", so it was put to use and after much
head scratching, a design came to vision. With a pair of tin snips, file and a
dremel tool cutting wheel, also some tweaking in the design, a screen was manufactured.

Because our "Weber" has
wings, the screen is a fair size, which won't quite fit on the table we use for
the BBQ. A piece of plywood was purchased and cut to size with holes drilled through
to fasten the screen to it. I am pleased with the final result except one
modification is necessary. Cutting with tin snips leaves jagged edges, although
I did file them, I have used pipe wrap to cover them. When I open the lid of
the BBQ, it touches the pipe wrap and the heat of the lid melts it. So I plan
to notch out the lid in that area and all should be good.

Bringing this post to an end, is a good
idea at this time, don't want to bore you too much. Another will follow shortly, on another project. Thanks for following along, comments are always
welcome.
Until the next time, take care and be
safe.
