Must be tad to chilly for some muzzle loader hunters lot of slow drive by check the fields this morning. 🙄
Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today.. most of the day light hoping 10mph +-wind will be in my favor for long day of leave control 🤞
Maybe catch some of NYG vs WC for victory. 🤞

Enjoy your day all.

Good Morning.
33° with a high of 55 under a cloudless sky with unlimited visibility.

Yesterday’s activities were previously reported, the only addition was that the griddle got rubbed down with Canola oil and baked for an hour at 450°. That should make the next batch of pancakes go a little smoother.

Today would be a great day to take the little plane somewhere for lunch, be curious to see if that happens. Other than that the only plans are to continue to relocate the horizontal surfaces in the shop and put things back where they belong.

Zoe is finally starting to settle in to the OFH, although sometimes when we are outside she still goes to the front door of the house.

Fortunately most of our clocks are smart clocks, but I’ve got one in the house, and two in the shop I’ll have to reset. Plus the phone system, maybe the thermostats.

No. The blue walls made my then 5ish year old nephew happy that we let him pick out the color. Thomas the train blue it is. LOL.
28 this morning going to 50.
Up early with the time change and pain in the hands and wrist! Looks like a good day to play a retired old guy!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
I asked because the ceilings at Mackinaw are blue, they claim birds won’t build under a blue ceiling. I might do my porch ceiling blue, I like the color.

Starting the day with the sun breaking the horizon and a soft frost on things.
Finally a day without a toupee (not me) and shingle lifting wind.
Maybe hit a low 50 later.
Nasty night for me.
I'm prone to cramping and last night was bad. Even my personal massager didn't make much difference.
Walking aboot the house I can still feel the residual muscle strain in my thighs.
Don't be a Dorito King, find something nice to say aboot others. Even if you're not religious, it is Sunday.

Wife said the shower head was spraying on the ceiling. It was almost totally unscrewed. Don’t know how she managed that.
One clock automatically changes based on the old time Change, so it was wrong all last week.
New curtains advertised as black out, but light shines through them.

Don’t see ads, but I approve of those ones Drew. One joy of not watching TV, haven’t seen any political ads, except for signs along the road.

Good Morning,
Ct, 32 to start going to 54 ! Yep, a tad chilly but it is November !

Church this morning at 8 , after that I’m not sure , maybe a nice walk but nothing to strenuous!

I'm prone to cramping and last night was bad. Even my personal massager didn't make much difference.
Massey, when I get leg cramps at night it’s usually because I didn’t hydrate enough during the day ! Have you been getting enough fluids into the system ? Just a thought !

Tomorrow I will work a few hours and then up in the middle of the night to get to JFK for a 7 am flight to the Dominican Republic! Don, do you have any exercises for me to do with a Pina Colada this year ? 😂

Looks like this will be the last time to church for the next couple of weeks since there aren’t any Episcopal churches down there that I have seen !

Hope all have a good day ! 🙏

Good morning! A warm 73˚F this morning heading to the upper 80s. our rain day Yesterday did not materialize just clouds all day and temps in the 70s. A good day to drive the tractor at the adventure farm yesterday, people finally started to come out by noon when they realized the forecast was not accurate. Next best chance for rain will be Monday.

All clocks are reset, some for the first time since the move, the thermostats and the garage door openers. We don't use the clock functions on either but it looks good at least to have the right time displayed.

No adds appear on TBN on my apple notebook.

Pina colada exercise - raise glass in front of you at eye level and walk for 5 minutes. If glass does not come down you are good to drink it, If arm does come down repeat 4 times.

Thanks for the suggestion.
It's an issue I've dealt with since I was a kid.
I've had all sorts of blood tests over the years and all come back OK.
I make sure to stay hydrated.
It's just a burden I've learned to deal with.

The point is I had hoped this spot would be a haven from flashing political billboards.
not so.
big ad bashing Dave McCormick in PA on right side of my screen.
I try to ignore all ads, unless they are for tractors of course

ok, this is for our New England guys.
this is first pass on a New England trip next summer.
I need help on what to see/not miss, and if you would PM me,
where you are located so I can try to steer that way in planning.
I've never been to Boston. Not sure how to do that with a motorhome and wow
those folks don't like rv campgrounds, there are very few to choose from.

my first stop is at my friend's mountain cabin near Arkville NY, where I've been going for 52 years now.
No longer will I sleep there, beds are terrible, will visit for day.
my long planned parking spot at the neighbor's a full mile down the road, which is a grass path with ditches on both sides,
isn't available because new owner of that home knocked it down and built a new home there, using my parking spot as construction storage.
bummer. My friend's son who now owns the cabin is hunting a reasonably level spot for me to dry camp.
Then he comes and gets me in the morning in his truck.

52 years driving up route 28. Much less in recent years, particularly when in NC.
But curious to see how much son has fixed it up. He even has solar powered electric in the house.
All three wives went with me to the cabin and loved it. Second wife's three kids adored it.
Side of a mountain with all parkland around it.

And then headed North to a museum in Shelburne VT, and then over/down to Boston and back home.
time for me to see another car museum

Not sure if I can do this trip and a trip to UP Michigan July 4th.
my challenge is always the garden; this past trip used up all my watering credits with friends.

You are more then welcome to stop by my place or meet for a bite, If desired I have a small parking spot at the base of my driveway that is kind of level. Not very far off your indicated route. State Rt. 40 runs North from the Albany area and is very scenic compared to the Northway (I87) also Rt4 runs north and through the Saratoga Battle field area (Old Saratoga being Schuylerville in the present time)
