Dang Boxster you wouldn't have been up on a roof down here today, unless you were roped to the chimney. Best part of the day was the morning, got colder, darker, windier as the day went on.

Got home from work & PapaLew had blown all the leaves & twigs off our roof. And yeah, it's pretty windy here too.

Came home and decided to mow/mulch what was out there. Looking back I should have gone full Boxster and gotten up on the roof but oh well. I got the whole yard done and winterizer put down before the wind picked up.

Won our football game and I had three catches for first downs. It was cold and windy so we decided to skip halftime and keep playing.

Found out the inspiration for JD's kicks. It's paying homage to the Mad TV Coach Hines character.

You do need to be careful, cause "The Abyss." :rolleyes:

Not exactly sure.
Was in a hurry today when I ran to the John Deere dealership and grabbed a lunch/supper at mcdonalds (that or Dairy Queen and I didn't have an extra hour to wait). I was just a little dusty on my jacket but overall clean, but boy did I get stared at. You Minnesota people must know when an Iowan is in your presence and are dumbfounded by us.





That or they weren't used to a someome parking a combine in their parking lot.

So last night after work I get out the Leaf Hogg and manage to clean off about 15% of the front yard. I wanted to vac up all the leaves so I could mow one more time (yeah, I know, what a masochist). And this morning I go out for work and it's so damn windy again I couldn't even tell I had done anything. Tomorrow's going to be a long day - I may need some pie, @BoxsterCy.

I told our landlord that the oven was taking longer to warm up to the correct temperature. I was told today that we are getting a new oven. Yay! Talk about fast turn around time.

My oven is like that, so annoying. And it doesn't keep heat--also annoying when you are trying to bake. I had the appliance guy come out shortly after we moved since it was a new house/new oven and still under warranty. He tested it and basically said anything within a 25% range of the set temp is normal. Really?!
