The good news is we have been having great weather,  better than September I think.  We have had some sunny days and temperatures in the 50’s and 60’s.  This is good.   And it is so nice to have the nice sunny days, there had been a long stretch without it.   We know its temporary but you can’t get much better for November.   We seem to keep busy and are getting things around the yard ready for winter.   Of course with the sun setting early there is not much I can accomplish outside after work.   But we are getting there.   And this coming weekend we plan to be home,  which we have not had much of on weekends.  It is fun to get to Milwaukee and see friends but good to have some days at home.   And this will be the only weekend home for me this month.  Next week is the deer hunt, and the weekend after that we will be in Southwest Michigan.

We made it to the St Pius auction this last Saturday night, and found some ‘bargains’ as usual.   And happy that a group of us bought Father Bob’s bar b que again.   A few people thought we should give someone else a chance,   well they always have a chance to outbid us!  We had a good time and Steve ‘the homer’ True is always an entertaining auctioneer.

Before we left for Milwaukee Saturday Chris and I did some shuffling of boats.   The Enders/Bauer partnership has bought another pontoon.   Harlan and Barb decided to sell their boat and trailer.  Their boat has been nicely taken care of, and we would not have had a trailer without theirs!   But we put a newer engine on Ender’s boat a couple of years ago, and Saturday we took both boats in to a marina in Oshkosh to have them swap engines for us.   And yesterday after work we brought them home.    On the way there I got in another boat ride, taking the old boat by water.   But the marina let us use their pontoon trailer to get it home. I actually would have liked to bring it back on the water, with the nice calm days,   but we just did not have enough time to get it all done before sunset.  So they are home, and if the weather turns real nice on Saturday, who knows, the new boat might get one more ride.   And Oh by the way, we have a boat for sale.

So work remains busy for me and the days go quickly.  Our plant could use more volume but my piece of the world stays busy.  And the evenings go even faster.  Tomorrow night our homebrew club executive board meets here,  lot’s of business gets conducted (I have some new beers to try).

So everyone have a great week!
