Today we didn't go anywhere, we stayed home and Jim got the smoker out and we did a pork shoulder on the Ninja.
He got the smoker going and we put it on in the afternoon.
Then we took a golf cart ride.
These lovely sunflowers are finally starting to open.
Lovely the way they had them along the building.
They were predicting rain, and just as expected it was about to pour. We got back to the RV, Jim unplugged the smoker and we tucked the Ninja underneath the camper. With the pork still in it. We went inside and it just poured.
In about 40 minutes, it slowed down enough. We went back outside. We set the Ninja in the back of the golf cart, under the nose of the fifth wheel, to protect it from rain, and he started it up again. It just wasn't done enough the way I wanted. It temped at 160, for pulled I wanted it 190 to 205 degrees, wanted to be able to pull it..
It took about a total of 4 hours, with a little rest in the middle. Lol The temperature was set at 250°
Well it was fantastic, best ever. It definitely doesn't look pretty in the picture, looks burnt, but it wasn't it pulled apart just like I wanted it to.
We tried doing the same on one upstate with Drew. We were rushing it too much, and it wasn't totally thawed out. Plus we started it to late in the day. This time it was perfect.
That was all the excitement for today.

Today after a normal morning routine Jim took me to the craft show they were having at a local high school. As soon as we arrived in the area we saw the sign advertising it and I told him I would love to go.
First we went to Walmart and took the old truck batteries back. You get $10 for each one returned. We walked around a little bit, only got a few things.
Then we headed back to the craft fair.
It was a really hot day, a lot of it was on the inside.
Saw a few really cool things.
The only thing I bought was a little gift for someone. Jim stayed in the truck the whole time, except when he came out so I could show him what I liked. It was hot too.
This was cool artwork. Everything the lady made was with eggshells. If you
Zoom in you can see the details.
After we left the craft fair we stopped at the produce stand really close to the campground. I have been wanting to stop, but they were always closed when we went by. They had beautiful things but very pricey, he was very unfriendly too.
10.00 for the strawberries above.
You can see the price we paid for diesel too, above.
Didn't get anything then. Then we went home for lunch and dinner later.
After lunch Jim put the golf cart away it's supposed to rain a lot tomorrow too.
Sunday September 10,
Today Tom and Yvonne were leaving. Jim said goodbye to them as they left, and thank them for everything.
They had a nice site.
Jim wanted to put our problem slide in today in preparation for moving tomorrow. So before the rain was supposed to start again, he said let's do it now. So I hit the button and he goes out to push. Now it takes 2 guys to do it :(
At that moment, we were getting a new neighbor in Tom's site in front of us, in another motorhome.
They had backed in and saw Jim struggling, and he came over right away and helped Jim push. The four of us chatted for a minute, and I said we should let them get back to work, and we thank them for their help.
I didn't want it to rain on them when they still had to set up. They were so nice.
Then he went on the roof to clean it off. This was a nice site, but the pine trees dropped so many needles with pine sap on them, extremely hard to get off. Haven't found anything that works yet.
Then he was picking up sticks that have been dropping with all the rain. He made a little fire with them that burned for almost 2 hours. It smelled really good too.
Shortly after it started to rain, alot.
We were pretty much in for the rest of the night had dinner.
Started watching Longmire, TV show Carla and Gary recommended.
