        Another wonderful sunny warm day ahead of us. Coffees and computing taken care of then a few walkabouts the park  for a while. Spotted the Geese in the pond by the fountain and the 2 families headed up on to shore, boy are they growing !

heading out of the pond and up the hill

        Back by the coach again I noticed our resident Weasel, peak his head our from under the car. He moves so fast have not been able to get a picture of him yet.

        About noon Gerry had a break and came over to help me with installing the new part on our step. Not hard just need a couple of extra hands. I am getting pretty good at this (lotsa practice) and in 10 minutes it was all done and working like new again!

left this part broke  while ago ,
 on the right is just came apart
will see if it can be fixed

new part  installed

      After checking that it worked good, we checked a few more things.

I removed our top step cover because I found it
was not giving enough  clearance for the
motor to work maybe this will fix our problem.

         That  done then I headed inside to begin supper preparation for tonight's meal.  For supper tonight I am making some rolled ribs, I added sauerkraut to the pan as well, baked potatoes and a salad. For the recipe you can click HERE or my recipe blog top right sidebar. I did the Ribs in the oven 6 portions about 2.5 hours at 325f tightly covered with foil, and baked potatoes on our Weber Q, also our usual salad to go with it.

then outside to read for a while
before Happy Hour

       Just after 3 pm Gerry came over to join us with Tucker and Choco so Suzie got her doggie fixes.

always happy to see Suzie

eventually they get a treat

Melinda done working and she joined us

        Just after 5 pm the ribs are done as well as the baked potatoes.

         Rolled ribs, baked potato, with sour  cream and fresh chives, to go with our salad.

this sure hit the spot another craving taken care of

Gerry, Suzie , Melinda all smiles.
what a feast we had

      Well, we fed our faces and enjoyed some lively conversation and eventually they headed on home, Suzie whipped up the dishes and we enjoyed more wonderful warm weather outside. Working on this posting, Then Paul and Judy dropped by for a visit while doing some laundry and we caught up with them for a while.
      Now here it is just about 9:30 pm still in shorts and t-shirt and 74F (23C) outside, really what is not to love about this weather? Then just after 9 another friend dropped by walking here dogs and chatted for a while it has been at least year since we have seen her and the pups.
      Once this is posted will  read a bit more then head inside for tonight, Tomorrow is another day.

When we head south Oct 24thCountdown

Where have we been this summer?

Getting stuff done a bit and tasty rolled ribs for supper.

Where are we today ?

Plattsville Ontario

        Today gonna be awesome weather just the way we like it, temps in the mid 80's f (29c) perfect ! So got my walkabouts around town this morning and returned the gas buddy to the garage. Not sure how to drag it the 4 blocks so decided that I could sit in the trunk of the car hang on to handle and have Suzie slowly drive me down the road.  Perfect , only in a small town can you do this, love small towns !
       Now I had to run to New Hamburg for a few food stuffs and the bank machine. back home for lunch then Suzie had to go see her mom at lunch time. Now we can relax and enjoy a wonderful afternoon in the shade enjoying our e-readers.
       Then a I took a bit of time to put together some rolled ribs for supper. For the recipe you can click here  or my recipe blog top right sidebar.
       Got ribs ready to go and put them on our Weber Q at 3:30 , low and slow, let them simmer making sure the ban did not go dry.
        We were going to have friend come for rolled ribs on Tuesday but we will not be here. So cooked them anyway, saved one for him if he can make it here this week, if not we have some wonderful leftovers. They reheat wonderfully! he used to make a special trip to my restaurant when I made them way back when.

this time I used some croutons for the stuffing,
just soaked in a bit of water until soft enough

doing 4 portions used a 14.5 oz can of sauerkraut

add the dressing and ready to roll and tie

now ready for the Weber Q

low and slow about 2.5 to 3 hours

smell so good to while we are outside reading

added to a salad, sure tasted like more,
fall off the bone tender

          With having no luck removing the gas from our fuel tank we decided that tomorrow we will take the long way to Sicard Rv in Smithville. A tour we have not done since we went fulltime over 9 years ago. Leave here early in the morning head west, then south and cruise along the north shore of Lake Erie heading east an area we have always enjoyed. Gotta empty our fuel tank so why not have fun while we are at it? It was relatively cheap gas so we will get on the road and have fun doing what did many years ago.
         Thats our plan we are looking forward to it.
         We had a nice day relaxing somewhat and get sone quality reading done, hope you enjoyed your day too.
         Thanks again for stopping by.
