We had a really nice weekend here with temps in the 60's and sunshine. I geared up and took the scoot out for about a half hour run around the lake. This is the latest in the year that I've been able to ride I think. I may get out later today if the weather holds. It's currently 56 at 7 AM.

From what I saw on the news, it was warmer here yesterday than down in Arkieland.

Al - the new place was a foreclosure and we got it fairly cheap. There are a depressing number of them here at the lake. Unfortunately, the folks did some damage before they moved out plus it was empty for a couple years. The guy punched holes in the doors and I still need to replace them, the kitchen floor and do some painting. As far as the old place goes, the realtor said if we got an offer that wasn't too bad, grab it. It was on the market about 2 months. We wanted more but didn't get it. Basically, we swapped houses but we lost about 1000 square feet.

JR - if y'all want to come and go fishing, we'd love to have you. The neighbor says there are some really big blue cats in the lake. Here's a cultural bit from down here in farm country - they sell/serve hog jowls although they call em hog maws. So far it's only snowed once and that was about 3 inches.
We're still working on the place and will be for months but we can relax a little. My son and his girl friend, 1 daughter and my brother and his family are coming for Thanksgiving on Saturday so that will be the first big dinner here. Dr. Barb is all in planning/get ready mode.
I had 5 trees taken out so lawn care will be easier but a have a lot of trimmings to get rid of - will burn as time allows.
Project for the next few months. There are estimated 10-20 scoots here at the lake. I'm going to try and get something organized.

Hooray - the old house is sold and closing is today. We got a lot less than we wanted and had to replace the sewer line and install a radon unit but it's gone. No more 300 mile round trips every 2 weeks. We still have a lot of work to do here but now maybe I can get back to enjoying things like RIDING MY SCOOTER!

Sorry to hear that Zug. Maybe you should move out here to Adams County.

JR - they draw the lake down to control weed growth. The lake isn't all that deep - max about 20 feet and a large part 6 feet and less. We're surrounded by farms so there's lots of fertilizer run-off when it rains. My neighbor says think of it as a 350 acre farm pond. If they didn't draw it down, it would be a giant salad bowl. We aren't allowed to use anything on the lawns that contains phosphates. There are some nice crappies in the lake.
