John and I working on his boat a week or so ago

We attached some seats he found on Marketplace, and swapped out the hitch for one that would fit our vehicles.  Of course, he had an interesting idea for a coat rack too… One of the bird feeder posts that Julie wasn’t currently using hahahaha. Oh yeah, and we mounted the oars in the locks too.  It looks like they will work nicely! ❤️

Ian finished his first marathon!

8 minute miles means he finished under his goal time of 3:30 too.  Crazy and cool!

Chloe and Zoe each got a ride last week.

Chloe takes up almost the whole back seat if she lays down.  But she usually sits on the seat with her face right next to our shoulders just over the armrest between the front seats.  Zoe is sitting there VERY hopeful that the people walking towards us on the sidewalk are going to stop and pet her, hahaha.

Still trying to get my childhood timex running right

It runs for a bit, but stalls.  I noticed the hands were interfering with each other so I made some adjustment.  I could get it to run for a day or so at a time, but it’s still slowly stalling more often… It’s fun figuring out what to try next. 

Julie and I tried a new Indian place with Andy

It was Chipotle style and had a Mexican/Indian fusion vibe. We even got a try a Thumbs Up which was a version of Pepsi I had while I was in India.

You can enjoy some of the house demolition carnage for yourself.

Andy tipped me off…

…That they were tearing a house down in Waynesville last week. He sent me the upper left picture of them getting ready to do the work.  He knew I would enjoy seeing some of it, so I ran down and enjoyed the carnage! It’s next to the Hammel House.  The city is putting a parking lot in its place.

A wet, autumn dog

Chloe blends in nicely with the fall leaves on the forest floor. We had a little rain while we were hiking, but it really didn’t bother us much in the woods.

Just a pretty hike with Laura

Caesar Creek Horseshoe Falls area. 

We voted

And we even got special 250th commemorative stickers to prove it.

Andy sent me this…

Who knew there was a differential fluid pressure gauge named after us?

Dropped this guy off for some needed repairs

I got it cheap with a few problems, hopefully I can get it running again and have a nice 90’s piece for the “modern” part of my collection. I thought it looked good laying in the Jeep dirt for some reason 🤪
