🧭 on this 7 th of XI
three nites away. a change
however, changeable weather meant rain on one day while in PEC
then driving home. drizzle followed by a down pour as we neared home
dribbles as we got to within a mile
lessons learned. M .. needs a booster step for some beds. will work on that
actually, likely would help here as well
we were unsure of what to pack
Worries galore. Only one came true. Of course.
' Many a problem will fade away if you just go fishing 🎣 '
( or so ) Olin Miller
Cold at 39 F. Brilliant sun 🌞
Follow up : 3 nights and I packed one pair of sweats ( ????? ). Oh well, enuff socks and underwear 🩳
sadly, I can announce that we ventured to the Casino
She won. I lost a tiddle ( for me ).
Overall then, success
Plus dinner was at Pounders ' local
pub and restaurant, first try for us
M .. had steak and I chose Chili con Queso knowing that I get some steak
📺 ' depending on the undependable '
" where do you get your news "
who to trust
solution : watch five minutes get the headlines and change channels
weather is dismal. foretelling rain
Rain. buckets.
Follow up : there are pay for service unbiased ( or known bias ) channels ( ? Or search engine s ? ) esp. Science topics
🖲 in the ' boro the weather for the week is dicey. not ugly cold but damp and cool
plus rain is likely as least twice before Friday
Still on the S. Ontario scale for fall - we are doing not bad
🎰 in the ' boro. warmer than yesterday. we are overcast and rian is in the offing
I can see the wind whipping up leaves and debris
follow up. approx. three years ago. I began a re - model of the ' computer room '. I re - tell this attempt for background. The room is south facing and views the street. not a great angle, but the angle shows the southern arm of our street [ a crescent ].
I see cars moving to and from onto the street. plus, the ' autumn Blaze ' maple is left centre in the frame
At the time, the computer set up was a small laptop and monitor. AND a desk approx 4 ft by 2 1 / 2 ft. plus a slightly smaller computer type desk There is a pull out couch, which converted filled the room width and blocked passage
I began to minimize the ' desk ' [ particle board mostly ] using saw and determination w / some small success. I removed one desk [ smaller ] and made that desk into a shelf.
the whole affair was haphazard and rather disappointing.
THEN. across the street, on the curb was a pile of metal tube and such - a corner desk ! I hauled the sucker home. The ' desk ' is three by two or so. The frame stands 4 feet tall and has 3 levels. The top two shelves are recessed by a foot and a bit. I added a top shelf by taking the foot rest level and mounting it as a shelf
Convenient, w/ a great view. And yes the couch pull out can be used as intended. not a optimal layout but serviceable.
the morning routine, includes a session at the Chromebook, watching a TV screen w / the mirrored screen. the street moves and I watch the weather and the day arrive
" go ahead, make my day " and it does
💤 woke up to blazing sun. yes, we are in EDT [ daylight savings ]
cool but tolerable after all
its our fall
sublime and ridiculous
did my workout, burned 400 Kcal
then ate Kentucky Fried Rat for lunch
call it a draw ? or close
🏩 the sun is beaming in the ' boro. overcast sporadically. however, this seems dry compared to the last three days. A good day for anything. We were indoors.
We did monthly finance checks. Vetted the Visa bill. Internet transfer of the monthly mortgage cheque.
Further. we made reservations for a 3 day side trip to PEC. And , potentially, our favourite INN.
potentially ? well. We tried the same dates and others before by phone. And were told ' NO '
This time on line, they took our money and sent confirmation. ??????
left hand, right hand who knows. We shall see said the Zen Master
Quite the day and never left our chairs [ well ,house ]
Oh. also paid for the deck job
