October wrap-up

It was a fairly low key weekend with amazing weather on Saturday and overcast and drizzly weather on Sunday.  Saturday ended up being an errand day where I was able to get caught up on several things that needed to be finished.  I even managed to do a little Globetrotter work that involved painting, staining, cleaning, and prep for the floor.  Things are slowly starting to go back into the Airstream which is a good thing!

The boy from Missoula came down to fix the Airstream leaks.  The problem is that in fixing one problem, they created another...they put a lip above one of the vents to help deflect water away from the vent.  The issue is that in so doing, that lip now prevents the door from opening all the way.  It should be a quick fix that I will address myself as at some point you just say 'uncle' so that they don't continue to create more issues.  It should be a quick fix though so onwards...

The dogs and I went for a good hike on Saturday up by Maude S Canyon.  I had been eyeballing some really nice looking steep rocks from afar and figured it would be a great time to go do some recon action.  It is good to check things out at this time of year because you can actually see more rocks as most of the leaves have dropped from the Fall season.  It was some steep hiking to get to the rocks and both Moby and Otis were panting hard from the hard work.  Once we got up to the rocks, they were much bigger than I anticipated and were for the most part not the best for bouldering as the landings were on a steep slope and the boulders were pretty high off the ground.  I took a few pictures on the phone but have come to realize that Verizon does not provide drivers for you to upload from phone to computer, unless of course you want to pay for it...as with everything else these days, there seem to be hidden costs if you want anything beyond basic functionality.

Even though the weather was really nice on Saturday, I ran out of time and was not able to get a ride in.  It was more of the same on Sunday although I sat on the indoor trainer for an hour while watching a NFL game.  It was constant pressure on the pedals for about an hr and the power graph looked a little something like:

Last night was spent answering the door and handing out candy.  I did the Wally World trip in the a.m. to load up on candy and as always, faced the dilemma of just how much candy to get...it would be embarrassing to run out or too tempting to have too much and be left with it teasing you to eat it.  Fortunately we got cleaned out on the penultimate group at 9:30 p.m. when a bunch of older trick or treaters showed no restraint and grabbed handfuls when the bowl was extended.  Fortunately we only had one more knock on the door and I turned a deaf ear to the knock...not to mention it was already 9:45 so lights out for tricksters!  Fortunately we suffered no eggs to the house...the neighborhood kids usually save their eggs for non-Halloween evenings.
