Not bad. I did a short 5 mile hike on Sat. in the local woods since it was raining. Sunday had the nephews over to play some football in the backyard. I went for another short hike early in the morning before they came over.

I took the kids to birthday parties on Saturday. Tara went horsebackriding on a horse trail in one party. Then that night I took the girls and their friends to a local haunted house. They had a great time, it was very scary. Tara and her friend were laughing and saying "Hi people in costumes". One of Lydia's friends didn't go to sleep that night until midnight, he was so scared. Funny because my kids are usually the chickens in the group. Then Sunday we got costumes and planned decorations for Halloween.

Hehe, the flies are done for here!

Wolfeye, you are on your own, since the "beam me up" technology isn't perfected yet. Maybe a DeLorean would help the invention process.

I'm up and it's cold out today, 31 and frost all over the grass. I just read in the paper that someone in our county just got West Nile virus. I'm glad it's cold out now to kill the rest of the mosquitoes. This weather is great though, I just have to get out and backpack now that my knee is healed up, nice colors out there too.

I am glad that your knee is better, Rich. My knees have been very stiff ever since Maine, so I have been doing a lot of stretches. But so far I can't do a walkover like when I was young. The back and legs don't want to bend like that anymore. Maybe in a few months...
LyndyS

Stretches help a lot. I've been doing more of that this year than I ever did and I can tell my legs aren't as tight as they usually are. It's probably more important to stretch as we age. It took a long time for my knee to heal and I'm going to be more careful from now on. I tested it Sunday morning by carrying a 45 pound pack for 5 miles just to see if it was OK and it was even the next day.

My legs are dead tired after work.

I doubt if stretching would help me.

Tilt, there is something that you need to go to here in NJ on Saturday.

The Concerned Ferret Owners Association proudly presents:

The Annual October Ferret Festival

Games, prizes, crafts, dunk tank, ball pit, refreshments, snow cones and popcorn.

All proceeds go to homeless and needy ferrets.

Yaz... it seems there are groups all over the place to attend to rescued ferrets. A friend of mine has two. I don't understand people who just abandon animals.

Wow thanks! I didn't see that. Of course it is too cold to water anything now. But it will be nice to wash the car again.

We're still in a drought watch and for all the rain we had the creeks still aren't that high. It shows just how many years it's been dry.
richb
9:18:15 PM

Good morning everyone!

Rich, I think the creek and ground water levels are also low due to the really hot weather as well. Summers just didn't use to be this hot.

Good morning to all! This summer was really hot and did dry up everything fast. Well, wouldn't you know, more rain for the weekend. We're on a streak with rain on the weekends.

Last night was cold here, in the 30's with rain and the cold and dampness go right through you in those conditions. I'm still not used to the cold yet and it seems like it went from hot to cold this fall with nothing in between.

Yeah, the weekend rain stinks, but I'll take it this time around. I have to move to the new place upstairs from me, so if it's raining, I won't feel as bad about not being able to hike. :-P

Okay, I forgot about that.

I had a busy day yesterday. It was Tara's birthday, and I had to take over a girl scout event because her leader got sick. They had a good time outside at night doing science stuff and night hiking. The rain held off until we were driving back to the school.
