So what did you do in your spare time.  Sounds like you had yourselves a R/C/Weekend MeLady. 

I do not like the new small heater for the 5er.  When the power goes out they will not come back on until you reset them.  I have 4 of the old ones that I replace the contact switch when I can no longer clean the contacts.

Oh well,  that....hmmmm.  Um I futzed around doing more little winter ready stuff.  Worked on a new knitting stitch.  Helped my friend decide how to make a tiara type thing for her Ursala costume.  Not much lol.
The little stand alone heater worked great.  It got 32 next to the river and we had, no wanted to make sure the lines didn't freeze Friday or Saturday.  It did really well on low.This weekend we winterize it.  Along with the cabin.

Back to the gym.  It's pretty nice.  Been putting summer away here.  Slapping Halloween bits up.  I decided to groom Lira myself lol.  She's not to bent out of shape about it.  I do need a old coffee table to put her on lol.  I really don't feel like looking like I am changing oil under the hood of a car while clipping tummy fur.  Lets not even think about all that hair on my head.  I'll figure it out.
But fall is here,  Pot roast in the crock pot, got the last of my costume ready to go. I've decided to be an old grey cat....  Should be good.
Back to work for me.....
You guys have a good day!

Now that sounds good MeLady.  Will set one out for Friday.   The net just came up for me today. 10:10 A.M.  :mad:   :lol: 

It will be a 68º day for us, but in the sun if will feel like 80º.  Love this time a year.  I don't have to put a hat on when going outside.  It was so hot this summer that some flower are now just starting to come out.  They had long green stems and green leaves but no buds.  They started budding out last week and now we have flower.   Things that make you go Hmmmmmm....

We have upper 60.  It's really nice out.   I thought I would come home to my flowers being zapped by last week's freeze, but nope.  I have roses that are budding and opening this late.  It's weird.
Hats, yep, I am going to have to start with those.  I spend way to much time outside not to,lol.

Wind block is back up, so is the patio heater lol.  Football is on, the guys are down there being guys lol. I'll get my gear on and go downstairs in a bit.
A grey day, decent temps though.  We are doing the last bits for winter prep.  Only thing left is filling the 55 gallon drum with water.  We keep that in the shower.  I'll set the 25 supper for hot water for whatever when we come back in a couple of weeks.  Set and ready.
Didn't do much, spent a while listening to rain and watching leaves fall.  Flipped to the store for a light dinner.  Just cleaned that up. Salmon, avocado, large portabella and some tater tots.  Its been a long while since we had those.  Anyway, got back and fired up the blower.  Did ours and our neighbors.  He took the a.c. units out so I did Windows. Those darned Asian beetles had invaded.  I really don't like those little beggars.  Our bat wasn't in its usual place.  He had been there, I had to clean his deposits lol.  Cute little brown bat sets up residence under the a.c..   Gone now. Fridge cleared and cleaned.
Saw my gal pal. I have got to go see Olai.  Little pony just over 2 months.  Love that girl,lol.
It's a beauty of a night.  Stars shining.  River is slow and dotted with fall leaves.  Even had some happy campers go by.
Yep,,,,time to rest and see if I can watch this game.  Football for me is a slow release sleeping pill.lol

Got my half cow locked in for pick up sometime next week. Lol. That's gonna be fun in my prius bahahaaaa.. oh well lol.
No jury duty for Monday! :thumbup:  My lettuce is growing and tomorrow I'll start some spinach, radishes and I have some experiment seeds just to see if I can pull it off.  Nephew n f2f had a baby girl today.   She decided to come a few days early, cute little thing, specially after they sent a pic of her all cleaned up lol. 
Salute to Walks!  Another mighty fine year,,,,it's a beauty of a thing. 
And I see me brother is back.  Lol,  I better straighten up.
Ok,,,Halloween is almost here.  I'm ready.  Just gotta slap the costume on  and do the face paint.
Have fun if you get to walk with the kids, wear a costume, bring your ID and you could do some trick or shoting!  :lol:

Yes it has been MeLady.  Thank you, and yours is just around the bend.     I got a B/D card for my doctor, it said STOP jumping out of the damn truck!   :lol:

Did shopping today as it is Friday.  Pick up a box of PayDay candy bar for the 31st.  As there will be no kids, M will be eating them all year long until next year.   :lol:

I opened the door, checked the temperature, and it was forty two degrees. Not sure what the big deal is. It is just about perfect for Soda Pop. The light in there still works too. Life is good.
On an even funnier note, one of the evenings Trick or Treaters stripped down to her under- pinnings
because her wedding dress costume was too hot to wear. And yes, life is still good.

MeLady I keep coming up a day late and a dollar short the last two years.

:lol: no worries,  if it wasn't for my phone blowing up I would have skated right thru myself lol.
Storms are The call for this evening.  So will end the 70 degree days.  I've been outside taking, mowing, putting yard decorations away.  I have an angel of concrete that needs a painting,  it will come inside today so it can completely dry.  I will fix her up over the winter.  Might have to mow one more time.
Today I have to go to the city.   I am not impressed :sneaky:, so off to the concrete jungle I will go.   I honestly dislike going there.   Even for concerts, I can't get out of there fast enough. 
Started my plants,,green beans up, radishes up, waiting on spinach and egg plant.  Not waiting my time on tomatoes any more.  Well I gotta get ready.
Have a great day.

River 99% ready for winter.  Moved 2 campers to high ground, pontoon and the last dock. Thank goodness for the leaf blower. I did 4 lots, why because all of them get blower to us and since they harbor fleas and ticks trying to hold on....they gotta go.started thatching so I can start tossing grass seeds. 
Of course Lira diva princess reminded me she is a "dog".    No one is there so she likes to investigate. Yea she found a lovely horrifically smelling whatever to roll in.  Ewww, was pretty gross,  I thought I got it with freezing rain water and some dawn.  We got home and instant bath.   She's all good now.
I really don't appreciate her reminding me she is a dog.

VETERANS Day it is.  Always makes me , no has me in a host of oddness.  Just does.
Big windy storms are headed for us today.  Could get real interesting, or not, in any case I back checked the yards and all things com will be charged fully. Slap some solar lights in full sun for the just in case lol. 
Schlepped a half cow from butcher to freezer yesterday and then took a huge lot to my MIL for her freezer.  Took Lira to the vet. Needed her shots of rabies and lepto, she's acquired a seasonal allergy.  Since the topical, dermaplast, only worked to relieve the itch, she got a shot and has meds.  She was truely devastated this morning, side effect is accidents because of more water then usual, they weren't kidding.  , not her fault, but she doesn't understand.  So somewhat grounded and tune into her while supposedly sleeping will be it.
I have lots to do, making venison jerky today, we will run to store to get ready for whatever comes......  I have been told by a few I should think about a blog.  Threw me off,  I don't know about that one. But I'll think about it for now... I'm afraid my mouth filterwon't do just that....filter.  :blink:

Been a little busy lately.   Sorry I have not been in.   I planted some more veggies, waiting for them to pop.  Some lettuce, green onions, easy to grow stuff, can't seem to figure out tomatoes.  Have no clue what I am doing wrong.  I'll figure it out.
Sent the man hunting, along with his son and friend.  Sure hope they tag, then again, I kind of figure a bad day hunting is equal to a bad day fishing.
Lira came down with a seasonal allergy.  I tried everything I knew, but in the end it was off to the vet.  The meds created accidents, oh that was not fun. But shed adjusted now after a phone call.  So far so good. 
Then the first winter event is , lol, not done but the snow is out.  North of me got huge amounts of wet snow.  It just kept on coming and coming lol. We got just at 3". I've been shoveling all day.  Well ok, not all day just 3 times.  I discovered it was slush when I did the deck so Lira had a way. Oh mylanta what muck! Knew I was in for it, so I just did it.  Very heavy but I am glad I got it done.  Now the freeze is coming.  Got the salt out and spread it so I can walk without looking like a penguin. :)
Was supposed to do one of those wine painting parties tonight.  Yea notsamuch.  First the roads are crap, yes I know I will hear how clear they were, no I don't care.  I am here with the dog on meds and been shoveling slush all day,,,a bit tired.  So I elected to not go, stay safe to paint another day. Besides that, I quit drinking, so although painting would be fun, it's a drunk fest.   Tomorrow is gather at daughters to make baby shower stuff.   :huh: yep,  nuff said.   
Well they filled 3 tags, don't know if they will hunt in the morning or not. Just have to wait.
So, I will hang out here, fire going, dog running in and out, searching the net for a little house that we might like.  I'm seriously not having a good year on any front,  it's a little difficult trying to make it make sense where there isn't any lol
