         A great sleep again last night windows open and very comfortable. Got  a few nice early morning walkabouts done, so very nice and quiet, just love this time of day.
         Then laundry day so Suzie sorts it and I can walk across from us and get our 2 loads done before time for a nice light lunch.
         Just before 1 pm we hopped in the car to check out the Steam Threshers 59th annual steam show in Forest not to far from here, about 10 minutes away, click HERE  for the link. This is a farm show with lots going on but mostly on Saturday and Sunday. Admission today is only 5 dollars per person. The weekend 20 dollars per person each day. I wanted to check it out today and even Suzie agreed to go along as well.

        This is  a steam tractor with lots of tractors and steam engines plus vendors etc.. Small town stuff. But really was not too bad considering. Lots of different machinery, and things I was interested in even though I am not a farmer. Plus there was other things to see on a small town scale.
       As we headed out of town a bunch of farm tractors gathered at the restaurant around the corner and they were all heading out down the road to Forest for the show, So we followed a few for a while and let them take their time down the highway.

 about 10 miles to Forest

     We arrived and parked the car then wandered about the grounds, perfect sunny summer day to check this out and no crowds, just the way we like it. Lots of old tractors, steam engines and a few cars as well.

slow and easy

                We home around 3 pm time to preheat our Weber Q for 15 minutes on high while I prepped a nice chicken I bought on sale.

our trusty Weber Q

just over an hour, low and slow, lid closed, no
 peaking until 185f internal temp

      Added to our salad and was wonderful, we do love our chicken! And of course lots of leftovers and chicken soup in the making tomorrow.

yum

       Just another fun day checking out the local stuff and relaxing in the shade with our e-readers, listening to the loud crickets in the area. Fall is on its way but hopefully not too soon for my liking.

      Thanks once again for the visit, y'all come back now.
