Sunshine, warmer weather and just an awesome day!

Where are we today ?
        Hey we having awesome weather again! Last night windows open, fantastic fan going, yep its sure is nice. Oh yeah we had some very heavy rain, thunder and lightning (so I am told). Me I hear nothing! Sleep like a log for 6-7 hours.
         So morning walkabouts then Suzie tells me laundry day. Ok no problem she sorts the stuff and I can walk the 75 feet to put in the washers here. Walked back an forth a few times , got more exercise and three loads of laundry washed and dried $7:50 total. Can't beat that with a stick can ya?
no crowds here at our laundry, well campground not busy either.
          While laundry was doing we enjoyed our books for a while in the shade, nice and warm today 80f (27c), sure do love this weather.  Then had our friend Irene (A.K.A. "soluth" - silly old lady up the hill) stop by for a visit and chat. Lots of interesting stories and jokes, she has to tell. Such a supper lady has been at this park now for at least 40 years. Just had her 80th birthday the other day too.
         Soon laundry done and I gonna prep a sweet potato and brusel sprouts on our Weber Q to go with a couple smoked pork chops for supper. Sliced up the sweet potato and prepped af few brusel sprouts, tossed in olive oil and sprinkled with some Mrs. Dash, Garlic and herb spices.
relaxing in the shade with our books for a while
then it's "Beer 30", no happy hour so we have our own
         Soon time to fire our Weber Q, on high (15 minutes) then turn to low, grill the sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, (about 20 minutes, turn every 6-7  minutes), couple smoked pork shops and heat up a double cheese bun with garlic. Remember, low and slow.
ready to eat ?
that's it so tasty and tender 
        That was it for a wonderful almost summer day, got stuff done, visit for a bit and cooked a tasty supper.
       Gonna get hotter again for the next few days, just lovin' it.
       Glad you could stop in too, anytime you are in the neighbor hood drop in.

    1. That Weber can cook on High to if ya like, but does a great job on low too, depending what you cooking.

  3. I think you should contact Weber Company and see if you can get a commission on your sales. I'm envious of your good weather. South Dakota weather is weird - sunny morning and afternoon brings in big black clouds, thunder, lightening and flash flood warnings.

    1. I like to cook everything on the grill, less mess and dirty dishes.

  8. But then you have to clean the grill itself! Now that is a chore. Glad the sun and heat are coming your way.

  9. The grill cleans itself, thats why the preheat and a quick brush. Its a Weber pretty well cleans itself. Have only cleaned it once in three years not so hard to do.
