Managed a quick trip to Mer Bleu bog this morning after dropping Chris at work. Skies were pretty overcast, so most of the autumn colours near the bog were quite muted. I snapped on the 100mm macro lens I got last week and went walking on a nearby trail instead, looking for leaves with character! Lots of yellows and greens but not too much in the way of red leaves. I managed this shot with my macro lens from about 12 inches with a tripod.I spent the rest of the morning out at the farm where we store our motorhome. I washed all the muck off it with a power washer but decided a wax job could wait until we get to Florida. I also managed to locate the 20 amp mini fuse that controls the left turn signal and brake light in the trailer plug. The bussman fuse panel is located in the spare tire bay on the passenger side of our coach. The fuse panel sits on the chassis rail and is about 4 inches square with a big orange "2" stamped on it. I pulled the mini fuse marked "left turn" and sure enough, it was blown. That explains why we had no left turn or brake light on our Saturn when it is connected to the motorhome. I'll pick up some replacement mini fuses at Canadian Tire later today. I also pulled the in-dash stereo to see why it wasn't getting any power all of a sudden. There are two in line glass fuses in the wiring harness at the rear of the stereo. I removed both protective plastic covers from the fuses. Both fuses were still good but it appears one of them had vibrated loose from the holder. Power was restored once I pushed it back into the holder.
I also installed our new Bell ExpressVU digital TV satellite receiver cards. Looks like I may have to call Bell to activate the lastest cards. Always leery of calling Bell. There are lots of stories on the internet of Bell cutting off RV satellite service. We'll see I suppose.
