🚌 and thirteenth here ....

  🚌 a dreary beginning. Leading to thunder and lightning. NOW .....

full sun and Eternal Blue slightly whitish

Dentist at 9 AM.... got the all clear. Teeth were painted w / flouride to stabilize the enamel

🚢 Thanksgiving Monday

  🚢......... the view is gray and predicts wet to come. Coffee in hand and typing.

Today is trial # 2 for the new coffee maker. The other had a switch that was wonky.

follow up. the sun popped out. still gray tones. but on the dry side.

and further. Starfrit coffee maker. worked a charm
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

🚐 and the eighth is here ......

 🚐 ..... plus construction moved to our side and this driveway
we are now street parked on the  odd number side ...... for 3 days ?????? hope

Sunny and cool, Eternal Blue is clear

out front on construction - men worked and the machines got closer .... then around dinner. A cement truck is idling along and filling a tractor w / a chute ..... the machine forms the shoulder and pours along. I went for a shower and the machine was finishing our section. Now, guys do come behind and form the driveway curb but that curb maker keeps rolling 

🛺 ...seven come eleven ...

  🛺 ... oh, the 7 th of octobrinus.
dull, out there and plenty of noise as they replace sidewalks and curbs

fairly overcast and slight chance of rain

....seven come eleven ... is a call out in craps. 7 or 11 on the come out is a winner

construction was continuing on the street curbs and sidewalks on the other side
construction on this side was .... me ..... I dug out five square pavers and replaced them. I built a wall of pavers outback and started to scavenge those units for the front walk. The pavers get salt and shovel damaged AND it has been twenty years or so.
