Shoppers DM had Flu and CoVid shots on offer. Might as well get the vaccines now.
Realizing that the vaccines take 3 - 4 weeks to become fully effective

We are organising a party for some thirty guests late Nov. Might be good to be protected v. Flu esp

Sun dominates the day. cloudy tho '. Leaves are red and yellow. Our Autumn fire Maple is starting top down w / reddish hues

have to say, changed the sheets and started a load of washing. Also, the construction left a rectangle of cement block. I carried the piece over to the dross pile across the way. Then. Figured why not get rid of paving ends that were at the side of the house. Why are they there ?
Dunno, I saved them ? Why ? dunno. Really ? ! Well, gone now

🛻 on Oct 11 from both places

  🛻 ... the ' bee and 

home. 

Away, saw the bassboat emptied. Batteries, chargers, fishing equipment and safety gear. I got mega help carrying the stuff up. In twenty minutes, a job that by myself takes 2 h was finished

Bassboat is ready for winter. Certainly, a slight clean up would not hurt. But if that doesn't materialize. We are still good.

A satisfying feeling, job done AND the bassboat is secure and dry for the winter. Sad. We can fish from shore etc but nix nay on patrolling the ' bee.

🛢 Oct 10

 🛢  Awakening in a different bed. A pullout plus topper. The Ikea pad was for a camp cot affair. A simple folding frame and mattress pad 

On top of the pullout springs and mattress - a little kingdom for the night.

Unofficial announcement: the bass boat is officially sleeping for the winter 

. We fogged the engine and we replaced the lower gear case oil and it's going to sit like that for I guess another 5 months

. Anyways it's a relief to get all that done. However, there still is all the equipment that needs to be cleared from the boat and following. We would need to put down mouse, poison and mothballs

So, last fishing bout in the bassboat , started w / fail engine start. We needed a jump start 

However, a largemouth ( # 1 ????? ) and  a sunfish fell prey to a baby swimmer jig

They both were dinner

🚉 ... ninth it is ....

 🚉  ..... of october. Sun galore and Eternal Blue. Wind is still.

Away from home, at the Q '. Yes, Thanksgiving holiday weekend w / A ... And family and friends 

A break for sure. BUT the bassboat is winterized this trip 

The season finale
