MORNING EVERYBODY---

IT'S 43 DEGREES AND CLOUDY IN SOAKLAHOMA AND WILL NOT WARM UP MUCH TODAY, THEY SAY. ACTUALLY, IT'S BEEN MORE CLOUDS THAN RAIN AND SLOW ENOUGH TO SOAK IN, ABOUT TWO AND A HALF INCHES SO FAR.

THE BEEF QUARTER IS TUCKED AWAY IN THE FREEZER.
BACK STORY: BOUGHT FROM THE HUSBAND AND WIFE VET TEAM DOGGYDOC DAUGHTER USED TO WORK WITH. THEY SOLD THEIR VETERINARY PRACTICE AND ARE NOW RAISING ANGUS CATTLE. $800 FOR THE QUARTER, THAT OUGHT TO HOLD US FOR A WHILE.

WE USED TO DO THIS WITH THE GRANDSON'S SHOW-CALVES WHEN THEY WERE IN HIGH-SCHOOL.

SUPPOSED TO FREEZE TONIGHT, I'LL HAVE TO GET READY FOR THAT BETWEEN RAIN SHOWERS.

BEST TO YOU, AMIGOS!

got up to face a skiff of snow on the deck.... it was ugly to see.... cold out... and gloomy.... sounds a lot like winter...

Kids left after lunch yesterday.... little one missed her nap and was unconsolable.... so they strapped her in the car seat and she was out like a light the first 10 miles we were told.

I remember having to strap out kids in a 1 in the morning and drive them around until they conked out.... the rhythm of the road.... gotta love it... better get some steaks out Gris....

Hey guys, up early and off to fix breakfast for the masses after Mass (see what I did there?) Unfortunately the masses didn't show up in droves, I think the cold weather kept them away, only about 2/3 of what we normally see.

Cleaned up and home and out to the shop. Haven't turned heat on out there, but it's not bad for working.

Speaking of not turning the heat on, we haven't in the house yet, either. Rosie makes every effort to not have AC or heat on from September 1 to November 1. We had a high of 38 yesterday and only 35 today, so it is cooling down in the house. Went to bed last night it was 62 in the bedroom. Got up this morning, 61, now 60. With the knowledge of how Rosies' thought process goes, I told her I thought we MIGHT need an extra blanket the next couple of nights. Looking forward to Wednesday.....

Oh, the winter weather watch we were under, never developed. Not even a drop of rain, flake of snow or drizzle of icy stuff.

...yeah... I had that idea also on keeping air off and heat off until a certain time.... until I came out to find Doc huddled around the gas oven with the door open and wearing her long winter parka and a stocking cap one morning... I then received the look.... so amazingly the heat was turned on and all was better....

Good evening, gloomy here too and light rain off and on. We sure did need it, but it's cold as all get out also. Will be decent during the day but freezing or mid-upper 20s for the lows all week. We've not done anything, we planned to take a drive to see fall colors on our usual trip to Maplewood Cemetery but got rained out. We junk store shopped yesterday and just laid around today. I saw a lamp I'm going back after tomorrow, having it held, a MCM lamp, for $18 that goes for about $200. Might sell, but expecting I'll keep it for the pool house. That's turning into a 70s groove pad so far soon as I get a puke green shag rug and a couple of chairs recovered I have here. Arron is in the kitchen where any good man should be making us some chili gonna kick my butt outta gear on the couch with chili and a murder mystery here in a bit.

Good Evening CGs!

Also cool here, today. We have the heat turned on in the house but no snow yet. I'll be driving the Corvette until that time. It did rain a bit today but the car wash will take care of that.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
