Ness' Outpost

A month or so ago when I set the blower in my Chevrolet Cavalier (named Penelope) to settings 1 or 2 the blower didn’t run, but settings 3 and 4 worked just fine. That told me the blower motor was fine after a quick inspection of the HVAC electrical diagram in my Haynes manual. It also told me that it must be the resistor block since there is only one power line from the battery which loops through the 4 signal wires and the resistor block.

I returned from a vacation on PEI visiting family and relaxing with my family. We arrived after 19 hours of driving through 4 provinces and a few bathroom and gas breaks. Things were wet on the way to the island in Quebec and then the rain seemed to chase us across the country.

Mom and Katharine fell sick on Tuesday so that limited the people we could go visit, but it just meant more walks on the beach and nosing around the cottage getting some reading done.

We were able to go to my Great Aunt Vivian’s 85th birthday dinner at the New Glasgow Lobster supper hall. Most of us had the lobster meal, but a few had scallops.

I also was able to get out and do some deep sea fishing with the “Bearded Skipper“. We set out at 6pm into the open ocean from the North Rustico wharf. I pulled up a small mackerel and a decent sized cod was reeled up from the bottom. It was approximately 3-4 lbs.
