I have a very expensive smoker that does ribs perfectly and with no effort but it takes 5 hours. When I got done feeding everyone this evening I remembered I had a rack of Baby Back ribs in the fridge that I meant to put on earlier but since I had forgotten, I fired up the Weber. These weren't as tender as the slow smoke on the Traeger but they were every bit as tasty with some of my Sweet and Tangy Sauce brushed on.

I REALLY want to move into your workshop. If I'm helpful, maybe you'll feed me!

Branson, MO?? Doesn't it have a music history?

It has an interesting history and is still a small town. It started when Roy Clark opened his theater in the early 80's and it just grew from there. Now a lot of the major country singers have their own clubs there sort of like a mini Nashville.

It looks like they saw enough today. They are heading down to Branson tomorrow and will spend the night there at one of the casinos. When I was a kid Branson was a sleepy little hill town that we used to go to for squirrel hunting.

I'me very glad that Luckenbach didn't go that far down the rabbit hole.
Famous and/or infamous (depending whether one is from the Nashville scene or not) it has an official population of about 6 which swells to several hundreds on weekends especially Saturday night. 2-3 buildings. A general store/USPS, a house and a non-air conditioned dance hall next to the gen store with big board windows that prop upwards in summer.
Here's the whole town with the dancehall on the left and store/USPS on the right.. you never know who will drop in.

all in all tho, I preferred Gruene Hall before it attained some kind of cult status and turned into the new wave hippie/urban cowboy trap it is today..it started downhill beginning in the early 70s.

We had a 20% chance of rain when I listened to the weather report last night. I was out weed eating when the wind increased to 30-40 and then the sky opened up. Probably a good thing since I won't get distracted getting the house vacuumed free of dog hair before Teresa gets home. There is some heavy hail forecast so the vehicles are under the shelter at the shop.

Well, one good thing about the vacuum....it is inside in the AC and it doesn't create particles in the air, but catches them....just be sure to empty it if ya have that much dog hair to dispose of.....
