Yes, getting that done is always a relief. We got our asphalt driveway seal coated so that is something we don’t have to worry about. Next summer I get to install new decking, probably composite. Also a piece of wood on the roof needs to be replaced. Tool shed door needs work as well as the tiny house composter door. So I have my work cut out for me next summer. Not as extensive as a siding replacement but it will keep me busy.
In TN, my son will have a lot for me to help him with so I think there will be no end of it.

2 ladies down the street asked my brother in law for help getting rid of snow blower in their garage. He took a look at, 15 years old but like new. He suggested they sell it, but they wanted nothing to do with strangers. He called me and asked me if I wanted it. I’ve been shoveling the past 54 years so of course I would. We have pavers all over, everywhere we would want to blow snow but I was afraid a blower might scrape the pavers. I’ve since learned they make composite scraper blades and skid rails. I went and picked it up last Friday and opened it up over the weekend. The carb was loaded with something that had crystalized. $30, a new carb and plug and it fired right up and hummed. The composites arrive tomorrow.
That’s an incredible deal, congrats. My son runs into great deals like that. I never do. My wife has gathered a bunch of free furniture for the move to TN. I never see stuff like that. Hopefully my friend will be able to get my riding mower started. It ran and then it didn’t. He thinks the carb jets might be plugged. I have no idea, but the safety switches all seem to be working properly.
Maybe I just need to replace the carb in the machine, its got new plugs.

Done. 5 days of 20-30mph wind. 3 days with 9 inches of rain. It’s finally gone. Saturday evening was the worst with gusts up to 50 mph and 5 inches of rain. A true northeastern gale blew in on Friday and swirled over us for 3 days of constant rain. It broke up about 9 AM this morning. In many ways it wasn’t near as bad as was predicted but the rain was far worse than the 3 inches they predicted. The area is a mess with broken limbs and shredded leaves.
…and we never lost power.Well, my friend pulled out a bunch of fuel out of the tank and it had separated. The carb was all gobbed up. I guess our gas is pretty old so I need to get new gas. Anyway, the mower is now running so that is good.
Getting cooler here, more dewey, and darker in the mornings. The season is changing from warm and no rain to cool and rain. Will need to turn off the sprinklers soon.

About the same weather here though the rain is unlikely for the next 5-6 days. I turned around at 6:30 and the sun had already set. My winter depression is starting to emerge. I just wish they would pass that clock Act. I hate giving up that hour in the early evening. We may see 70 on Thursday. If so, that’s probably that last time for the year.
Same here, temps are going down steadily. Expecting rain the next two days. Looking like I will retire end of Nov. So I’m working towards that. My wife has surgery on both hands tomorrow so I am taking a week off, maybe two while she recovers. Lots of time to work out the retirement.
House in TN closes on Friday maybe.

I presume the surgery went well and wifey is managing without full use.
Looks like everything is settling out for you. I hope all goes well with no snags arise before the closing. I am sure you two will get used to more than 60 days of sunshine.
yes, the surgery went well, she is now almost 2 weeks. Her doc said she has no restrictions, the occcupational therapy lady said 3 weeks more of light duty if she doesn’t want months of trouble. So I will have to keep her down. But she is doing most things now.
Movers come to get our stuff on 09 Nov and we bug out shortly after that. I bought tickets to the Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa. Should be fun.
mspart
MS good to hear she is doing well.
Ryou, love just seeing your screen name!
That’s to keep your whining ass shut. You want off this ranch, you got it. I’ll drive your ass to the train station myself.Thanks Viratas,
That is much appreciated. She is doing well. We will be moving closer to you. Heading to TN, 45 min north of Nashville. And I’m retiring end of Nov so lots of big changes from this side!
mspart
Good to hear she’s doing well. Don’t let her overdue the packing and unpacking. By the way, think about a snowblower if you don’t have one.
The Iron Bowl should be a great one. Both are unpredictable given the rivalry. Auburn knocked off Georgia and Alabama has an occasional hiccup.
So V makes his annual appearance. You should stop by more often. I’ve tried to post a pic but the system isn’t friendly to me.
Yes, we have the Iron Bowl tickets, the parking reservation ticket, and a hotel in Birmingham. Hotels in Tuscaloosa are 600-1500/night for that weekend. $120/night at Birmingham.
She is doing too much but she has great anxiety and has to pack. This morning I got her to ice her wrists so that’s good. Yes, Auburn beating the Bulldogs is not a good omen. Bama is not playing on all cylinders. They beat GA but lost to TN. A weird season. SEC football is just nuts.

I plan on being around a lot more. Some major changes are coming here for funzy!
MS, great to hear you are retiring…. We play in Chattanooga 2-3 times a year, so I get close to that area sort of lol…
Turning 55 today and Zero chance of retiring in the next decade lol.
Also soon here, full scoreboard, and all kinds of fun toys.
Trying to get Bryce, Fuhr and me to do the “Three Stooges of Wrestling” Podcast lol.
