Apples
I have pretty good apples this year even though the deer are eating them at a tremendous rate.
I have made applesauce and an apple pie.
Ready for the top crust.
Ready to bake.
All done.

Weekend Projects
Now that my grill has been rebuilt, I decided to try another turkey.
I used a new pan.
Here it is all ready to go.
It is starting to get done.
Sitting down for dinner.
Leftovers for sandwiches and lunches.
Another project was the repair of Kate's garage door opener.
It was an interesting failure mode.
The bearing retainer at the top of the drive unit failed and the sprocket at the top of the shaft cut itself off after a time. It always made a lot of noise.
New shaft, bearing retainer, and sprocket all installed. It operates a lot quieter now.

Fun at the Fair
We are off to the fair.
I am always trying to find something new to make at the fair. this year I found hot dogs wrapped in pretzel dough. They were then baked so the pretzels were soft. I think I will try to boil them first and then bake them to make hard pretzels. My bread machine has a recipe for pretzel dough.
Gerardo and the "Little One" checking out the animals.
Checking out the tractor.
"Now." he said, "this is more my speed!"
Off for a spin.
