My internal clock still
hasn’t adjusted to the new time, was up a little after 5:00 am. Cheri was back
from the pool early, said the water was too cold to do her exercise. My
wonderful wife was so kind to take Grandma for her B-12 shot so I could go for
a motorcycle ride today. It was going to be Mike, Norm and me but Mike called
me this morning and said something came up and he couldn’t go. So Norm and I
left at 9:30 am. It had warmed to 63 degrees when we left and the temp topped
out around 80 degrees, another perfect day for a ride. We rode south and east
today with a stop for lunch at a McDonalds which was a late lunch because we
were riding back roads to stay away from traffic. We did make a stop at the
Harley dealer in Lakeland. We also stopped at the Home Depot to check on the
paint I needed for the bathroom and they did have it so bought a couple extra
cans so I wouldn’t run out. On our ride we had passed a Harbor Freight store
and when we were eating lunch Norm asked me about it. He said that he hadn’t
been in one before. So on the way out of Lakeland we stopped at Harbor Freight
(my favorite store). Norm was like a little kid in a candy store, said he would
be coming back with the car so he could buy a few things. We rode 180 miles and
didn’t get home until 5:00 pm, a good day. Cheri had gone to have her hair done
today and took Grandma for her appointment. I think she spent the rest of the
day in the sewing room. We did go and vote after I got home. It was another
good day in Florida.

It was another cold breezier
40 degree morning. It did warm up to be a pretty nice day. The weather is
really crazy as it was only one degree colder in Fond du Lac Wisconsin then it
was here this morning. It was too cold to do any work outside morning so Cheri
took me shopping as I needed some new dress pants. We went to Beall’s as they
were having a sale on them, buy one at the regular price and get the second one
for one dollar. Even with the sale they still would have cost 38 dollars each
plus tax. Then we went to K-Mart which is in the process of closing and got two
pair of dress pants and one pair of jeans for 24 dollars and change plus that
included taxes. By the time we arrived home it was much warmer and was ready to
work outside. I went and picked up the security golf cart and brought it home
so I could install the new cold weather cover. That took me until 3:00 pm to
finish plus I had to go to Lowe’s to get some new nuts and bolts for it. Cheri
is busy working on her Christmas tree skirt. Next we headed out to do an early vote
but couldn’t find the place for early voting so will wait until tomorrow to
vote. We went on to Home Depot as I needed to get some more cans of spray paint
for the bathroom shower doors and surround. Well that didn’t work out either as
they were out of that color of paint and Lowe’s doesn’t carry it. We will have to check out some other Home
Depots to see if we can find it, something to do another day. Cheri was happy
with the Dancing with the Stars elimination tonight.

Will I was up an hour
earlier this morning, got the clocks setback last night but it’s not that easy
to reset my internal clock. That will take a few days. I thought it was cold
yesterday but this morning is colder. We have three outdoor thermometers; they
each had a different temp reading, 39, 41, and 45. I like the one that says 45
better. The voting phone calls are
coming, all wanting me to vote for them. I got one yesterday wanting me to vote
for the governor of Pennsylvania, wow! I didn’t know I was that important,
funny I don’t see his name on the Florida ballot. Kari, Cheri, Grandma, and I
went to church this morning. Pastor Randy had an excellent message today from
Romans 2:1-16 and Charlie had a good Sunday school lesson from Hebrews 9:11-15.
We had to leave Sunday school a bit early in order for us to have lunch and get
Kari to the airport on time. Once again we had lunch at ABC Pizza. After lunch
we dropped Grandma off and then home to change and load up Kari’s suitcase and
head for the airport. We wanted to leave a little early because you never know
what the traffic is going to be like. Well the traffic was light and no
problems we were there early. It was hard to say goodbye to Kari as we don’t
know when we will be able to see her again. No football today as the Packer’s
has a bye week, but did watch the NASCAR race and very unhappy with the way it
ended.

It really ticks me off
that I have seen Christmas advertisements before Halloween. It used to be after
Thanksgiving and now before Halloween, hard to get into the Christmas spirit
when they start so early. It was a cool 54 degrees this morning, too early to
have temps that low plus we had a strong wind that made it cold out. I did go
out to start working on my rolling lumber rack. I got the lumber out of the
shed and that was all I did, just too cold with the wind to work. I came in and
fixed myself a hot cup of apple cider. Cheri and Kari had gone shopping for
what they needed to finish the duvet cover. I did some computer work and then
settled in to watch Badger football. The game was about half over when Cheri
and Kari got home. Cheri fixed a quick lunch and then they worked on the duvet
cover. I was watching the NASCAR race and Cheri asked me to go and pick up Grandma
to have her over for supper with us. When I got back with Grandma Kari and
Cheri had the duvet cover done. I helped Kari pack it up so she could take it
with her on the plane. It cost her $28 dollars and change to send it down here
so I told her she should take it on the plane with her as it would only cost
her $25 dollars. Don’t forget to set you clocks back for standard time. I
really wish they would just leave it at daylight time.

Happy Halloween and watch
out for all the ghost and goblins. Kari had a 9:00 am client call this morning
so we wait and had a late breakfast of pancakes. In between working Cheri and
her worked on making as duvet cover from material she shipped down. It took
them most of the day to get it made and now have to go to get material and
batting to make the comforter bigger. I spent the whole day washing and waxing
the motorcycle. Something that should have been done a few rides ago. Cheri
started a turkey breast in the cockpit this morning for dinner this evening. I went
and got Grandma so she could visit and have dinner with us. Cheri also invited
Betty to come over. Cheri fixed us a very nice sit down dinner of turkey, mash potatoes,
gravy, peas, fresh baked biscuits, and ice cream for dessert. We had a nice
visit after dinner and then Betty took Grandma home for us as she lives only a
short distance from Betty. We watched some TV and called it a night.
