A tour of Lincolnton

Yesterday was a nice sunny day, a change from the rain we have been having.  So I suggested that we go and check out the Bussey Campground. 

So as usual on two lane roads to find the primitive campground you see these old broken down barns.

Houses with boarded windows, that I can't understand why people just leave them.

                                                                     "Really"
You mean I can't just keep on driving!

We checked out a couple of campgrounds to see what they looked like.

We went to see the town of Lincolnton the county seat of Lincoln county.
There we had a good Mexican meal at Habaneros Mexican Grill.

We like to drive in and out the streets of the old towns looking at the old beautiful houses and so after our meal we drove around Lincolnton.
Thinking this was the county seat it must have a court house, we looked for it.

When we saw the old court house we were in awe at the beauty of the building.  So many towns have demolished the old court houses and built new ones.  It is so sad to see the beautiful buildings being replaced by the new "cold" buildings that are without the charm of the old ones.

 Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Beatiful Lake Day

I started looking to see what was wrong with the backup camera having the black screen.  The first thing was to check for a 12 volt fuse that may be blown.  I checked the fuses under the dash where the steering wheel is located.  That was a little difficult but not so much as There is a door on the drivers side so it was standing on the ladder and half of me in the floor under the steering wheel.
All the fuses ok there then to check the fuses in the bedroom.  Those were ok also.  Next was the fuses in the engine compartment no blown fuses in there also.

So it was taking the dash front out to get the video backup monitor out and looking in the back of it for a fuse.  And there it was a 2amp fuse that had blown.  So I put a new one in and there was light on the screen, but the light was only a thin streak of light down the middle of the screen.
So checking the back of monitor again I saw two small switches each marked one and two.  They where both in the number one position so I flipped them to the number two position and what do you know the screen came on and I could see the back of the motor home.

In short there is something wrong with it but I'm going to use it until the monitor goes plumb out then get a new one.

As expected yesterday the lake was full of boats.


Boats of all sizes and shapes.

Jet skies everyone having their summer fun.

You know you have to come in to have a good grilled food to eat with all the fun going on you do get hungry.

But alas the day does come to an end and the boat needs to be shut down for another day.

Another beautiful sunset for another nice day at the lake.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
