October 7, 2008


View of the day-Tools catching a few fall rays, waiting for work.

Al was up early to take the pickup in for a new muffler and to kill several hours in town so he could avoid having to do any unpacking/putting away jobs.

Marilyn spend an exhausting day getting everything out of the camper and into the house...a job which started out nice and orderly, but eventually fell apart as the goal was to just get it emptied and not worry about putting things away as they came in the house...not a pretty site...good exercise though, dodging the boxes, baskets and bags of 'stuff'.

Al got the oil changed on the pickup and then did help get the last 30 bags out of the camper and by then he got to sit in his recliner in an empty camper and check his eyelids for cracks...since his favorite nap spot was covered with...well...stuff. Marilyn decided to get the satellite dishes aimed and set up before it got cold. It took a little longer than usual because there were two dishes to aim on opposite ends of the house...a coaxial nightmare. Good thing she was smart enough to make a road map of the hookups for three receivers and a dvd player all going into one TV...now there's no jacks left to hook up the Wii.

Al went into town in the evening to watch a hockey game and Marilyn continued on unpacking until it was time for a conference call that killed an hour and a half. And as usual things got left until the last minute...an annual report, a newsletter and of course the blog has to be written before going to bed.

If it can be found in this obstacle course...
