‘Morning all…
Spent the weekend up in the mountains with the young’en. An excellent diversion, some quality time spent and we got to see and hear a lot of really great performances. Sure beats working.
Oops, well life got in the way there for the last week.
It has a tendency to do that from time to time.
As a life long Cub fan going to Wrigley as a young kid and throughout my life I cannot explain the joy nor the earth rattling scream let out with that last out! GO CUBS GO!
Can only imagine…
We all get a historic WS this time around.
I may actually have to sit and watch more of it than usual.
The thermostat reads 64 degrees this AM, and DW is wanting the heat turned on. I of course, would prefer to save money and not turn on the heat until December.
So…
Who finally won that tug of war?
(I know who would be conceding were it my household)
This guy saw it last time.

Clearly our household is Halloween decorating today.
Clearly…
You may need to get you guest something to nibble on; he’s lookin’ a mite peaked, there.
My question is why y’all have a map of “the colonies” hanging up in the dining room
And please, please, PLEASE! keep your two candidates south of our border.
Actually, I'm thinking you want them south of your Southern border.
They’d demand that we pay of the containment and upkeep…
Oh? Anything different in that picture from the rest of the year?
Ironically, probably less cobwebs.
Booked for March 4th to 10th at All Star Sports.
Been awhile since I've been there for more than one day so I am looking forward to this big time.
That’s a fine time to be “on World”. Y’all should have a blast.
We haven't had a trick or treater in years. We live on a dark road that people tend to travel a little to fast on. Just means more candy left over for me.
We’re in an older neighborhood with mostly older teens.
Haven’t seen many takers in the past couple years so we’ll probably go out this time and not worry about it much.
We've got Rose and Crown booked for next month. I've been wanting to try it, but never quite got around to it. I'm guessing that, based on it being a regular for you, it's worth the effort?
Opinions vary, but it’s one of my favorite stops.
Excellent steaks and plenty of brew.
Used to be my favorite until we got over to the Cali Grill.
Now it’s holding on to the second spot for us.
Good luck on the match. Most importantly, don't hurt anything. You're old and don't heal as fast.
Sage advice and I do believe that warning applies to most of us ‘round here.
Not much new to report except some unexpected warm weather here in St. John's. Broke out the shorts today when the temps got up to 21C/69F, which made it the hottest spot in Canada today. I don't know if that's shorts weather for some of you gents in the south, but it's like summer in October for us.
That’s shorts weather in the Carolinas (except for my DW that is)
Actually that’s got the makings of on very fine day and something we don’t see very often.
My van is looking a little better now after my brother buffed off most of the yellow paint. Obviously still some damage there, but I won't worry about it until spring. Our Canadian winter roads with snow and salt will have it looking filthy soon enough anyway, so it won't be as noticeable.
Hate that happened to so new a vehicle.
It did buff out pretty well though and I’d be waiting a while to have it completely repaired
(assuming I did it at all)
I've been doing my best to not get political, and being Canadian I don't have any direct investment in it, but I'm just fascinated by this election, kind of like if your neighbour drove his car through his house. You'd feel bad for him, but you can't help but stare and shake your head at it.
I’d feel bad too, ‘cetp it’s my house that’s getting plowed into.
Oddly, I’m not surprised by this mess.
The divide and always existed and the current battle has been brewing for quite some time.
I have a sinking feeling that I'm going to be made to stay.
I really, really don't wanna.
Well that didn’t go well at all.
You sir may need even more Disney.
The sad thing that no one realizes or refuses to admit is that regardless of who wins the election, we all lost.
Yep… we’ve already lost.
But I have a different outlook on the actual why of it.
I get to spend the next few days on campus, so back to the 144 mile daily commute.
That is one seriously oppressive commute there.
But we do what we have to.
Highlight of the day is getting a new toilet for downstairs. Such is life.
Beats having to clean out an outhouse but certainly doesn’t live up to the excitement levels of a weekend in the Keys.
I'll stop complaining about my 70 mile/1.5 hour round-trip commute!

Are those trainees ready yet?
