Evening to ya 'all and what is up with you? We've been having some mighty fine weather around these parts and Fall is definitely in the air with the nights down in the 40's and the days a perfect 72'. It seems like it's been like that for the last week now and that's all that they show on the 10 Day forecast as well ...... perfect Jeep driving weather if you ask me! Not too much going on here with me though.

It was a pretty rough week last week and we had the Owner's Meeting on Tuesday so that meant all Monday and Tuesday were spent on that, and then we are working on finalizing the budgets and business plans so I spent a lot of time on that. But we aren't done yet so that will also be this week's project as well and I should have spent more time on it this weekend but didn't do barely a thing with it. But I did finish up a few more projects around here and got the lawn done and it's even looking pretty good these days. And dang if there aren't a lot of squirrels running around out there these days ...... good ole Patch would be having a field day if he was still here. But I've been watching the little critters quite a bit lately and it seems like they are all over the place and guess that they aren't much more than little rats with very furry tails - but did you know that if they fall from a tree they can use their tail as a parachute to break their fall? I also didn't know that they lived (and slept) in trees and that they are around year round, I think they are kind of cool actually. If you are interested in reading more about the little guys this site was pretty helpful in answering a number of my questions - and you can click here to learn most of what you have ever wanted to know.

And last week was also my first week in my new office at the Westin and I am really liking it much better than my old office as I actually have time to get work done which is a really good feeling. I did have a couple of challenging days with my computer as IT switched my network from one hotel to the other and that lost all of "my document" settings and also messed up Office '03 so then I had to spend time trying to get it back to the way that it was - but guess that I am almost there. I was freaking out on Monday as they did all this right as I was getting ready for the Owners Meeting and lost Excel and I was right in the middle of me trying to put my reports together. But I guess that everything worked out ok in the end.

I am thinking that I need to take some time off and finish up a few more projects before we have snow on the ground as I want to seal my driveway and need to do that while the weather is still good. I might just take another one of these Friday's off and see how much I can get done but guess that once the budgets are done than I should be able to take as much time as I want. I've also been thinking Mexico but think that the price of flights right now might put that idea on hold for a while.

I watched a really good DVD this weekend (well one good one and one not so good) and if you have a chance try and check out the movie "August Rush" as it was a really cute movie about a kid prodigy musician - you can click here for the trailer.



Nothing new with me though and it's back to the grind in the morning. I think that it might be a pretty uneventful week though as there isn't anything out of the ordinary going on that I am aware of at the moment but you never can really tell, but guess that we'll see. I hope that you also have a very peaceful week on your end and hope that you are enjoying some awesome weather as well - and try and stay in touch when you can. Talk with you soon.
