Hello again and Happy Sunday! Not much going on around here as it monsooned rain all day yesterday although it was nearly 70' but today is almost the exact opposite of that and has been whipping winds and only in the 40's - at least the sun shined for a couple of minutes today. I did end up going out this afternoon and raked up four more big ole bags of leaves and after today I think that almost all of the leaves are off the trees now so I just need to finish it up one more day. I also had a tree limb break off so I had to saw that up and take it out to the road, it wasn't real big but still took me a while to clean it up.

And it was a rough week last week as I had my training classes all day Tuesday through Thursday so I did that during the day and the did my day job in the evening after that. I swear that the place wears me out and by the time the weekend gets here all I want to do is sleep. But at least yesterday was a good day for that but I'm hoping to take a day or two off so that I can get some other stuff around the house done.

I am happy to report that I ended up buying my front door yesterday and I think that I'm really going to like it. But it's kind of funny as I was looking at metal doors with 3/4 square windows and at the last minute I fell in love with this fiberglass door with an oval window - almost the exact opposite of what I thought that I was going to get. And it's got a wood finish to it which I think that I'm going to love on the inside of the house but then I'll need to paint the outside the same green to match my existing door to adhere to the HOA but I think the inside will look great with the hardwood floors. Now I just need to buy the other door for the garage (they were out of them yesterday but they are a stock item) and then find someone to put them both in one of these days. I'm not getting very far trying to find someone at work to do the work for me so I might need to expand my search a little bit but I'm sure that I'll find someone to do the job one of these days.

Not too much else going on with me, my low tire pressure light has been on in my car all week and even after I got air one night in the dark it was still on but then finally I tried it again when I got gas and it finally went out - I was starting to think that the thing was defective. Gas continues to drop and think that I paid $2.17 today - let's see how long it takes the airlines to drop their prices back down. I talked to my brother last week and we were talking about his big birthday that's tomorrow - he's the BIG 50 this year and I don't think that he's taking it too well. I guess that the daughter and the kids have moved out so it sounded a little bit calmer around there but still not all too much with the four dogs and six cats, ect.

Well, I think that's about all I wrote for this fine day so I hope that you have a great beginning to your new week. Talk with you soon.
