Where are we today ?
Wow are we having some amazing summertime weather! Cool nights hot days, lotsa sunshine does it get much better?? Think not, well maybe a soft sandy beach with warm water, a good book and shade.We have the shade, good books, nice pool, cool beverages and the babe here to keep me company, just missing the sand, but can deal with that. Only gets between your toes and other places too.
Today I felt energetic and got into beginning the process of polishing our coach that I usually do at least once a year. I start with Meguiar's Ultimate compound remove oxidization then use the TechWax 2.0 to give it the ultimate shine, usually good for at least a year. I use a 6 inch Jobmate dual action polisher, that works awesome. To compound and buff the wax to a high gloss shine. This is so nice because I can use it with one hand even up on the top of my ladder.
polishing done now just buffing the wax |
got 1/4 of our coach done in a little over 90 minutes |
So time for me to take it easy and make lunch for me and Suzie. Today a western Quesadilla on our Weber Q. Essentially a western , which is a like and omelet. 4 eggs , some meat, ham or whatever, a bit of onion all fried up. Then I took two tortillas heated then on the grill a bit, topped one with some shredded cheese, topped with the western and another tortilla, flipped it over (grill on low) until the cheese melted and was done nicely for a very tasty brunch.
warm tortilla |
western ready |
flip over and make sure the cheese is melted |
a bit of ketchup and Franks red hot sauce, sure hit the spot for a nice brunch |
But now 5:30 so I fired up our Weber Q to grill some carrots and onions in foil. A few sweet potato slices and a couple marinated pork loin chops for a very tasty supper.
Chops were marinated in a bit of olive oil, soya sauce, thyme and a montreal steak spice for about three hours.
the rest of our baguette and we have a winner |
Thanks for stopping by and if you have time stop in again tomorrow.

I love the details of what you fix because they are fast, easy, few items needed and they are on the Weber! Thanks for all the tips and keep them coming!!
ReplyDeleteI like the KISS (keep i simple silly)recipes, never did like those complicated recipes with a million ingredients. Cooking is easy and fun if it is not complicated and I can do it outdoors.
DeleteYour polishing looks great. A little at a time or slow and steady wins the race.
ReplyDeleteLike your idea of the quesadillas look good on the Weber. I do something similar but on the stove top. Think we will have to try that out next time on the Weber.

I used to polish the coach in one or two days, but ended up too painful, this takes longer but my lower back likes it.
DeleteCooking outside keeps the heat out of the kitchen.
The coach is looking great...almost as good as lunch!
ReplyDeleteIts coming slowly, a little lunch to keep going.
DeleteYummy looking omelet!
ReplyDeleteWay smart to take your time polishing the MH.
It will still be there tomorrow.
DeleteYour lunch looks terrific - so does the polishing job on the rig!
ReplyDeleteHey thanks Rick, was another great day.
DeleteLove the pith helmet. That's part of the buffing program I'm guessing?
ReplyDeleteHa, ha did not think anyone would notice my pith helmut. Old eagle ye Bob spotted it thou. It's also nice a cool on a humid day.
ReplyDeleteLooking good, both the coach and the food!
ReplyDeleteWe just having fun here getting stuff done and enjoying the weather.
DeleteI'm taking this "thingy" that you put over the burner and grill things on your stovetop since I don't have room for a grill in my Toyota Dolphin. It has a ring that you can put water, beer, or wine in to enhance the flavor of what your cooking.
ReplyDeleteI had one of those "thingys" too work pretty good, but did not use since I got my Weber, gave it too my daughter.
