What I did over the weekend

I'm somewhat proud of myself. Saturday, I put the pool away. It looked clean enough to me, but I did have to vacuum out all the leaves and the water. Then I pulled it out of the shade to dry in the sun. Then I rolled it into a ball twice the size of the box, jammed it in as best I could and stowed it in the shed.

Good enough.

I started to rake the front yard then, but I decided it'd be better just to run the bagging lawn-mower over it. Looks good.

Sunday we overslept for church. The wife started b... uh, nagging at 10:15. That's when we have to be in the car and on the street to get to church by 10:30. She was up at 8:00. Therefore she's virtuous and we're not.

You know what I'm thinking.

Anyway, well, the furnace hasn't been working this fall. The indicator light said everything was just dandy, but it wouldn't turn on. Laurie called Ron and handed the phone to me. Ron walked me through a bunch of tests and we got the bugger running. Well, I had to go to Menard's and get a new thermostat, but everything's working now.

More later.

Events lately

Two weekends ago, we went to the Pine City Fall Gathering. Last weekend we went up to the Inlaws lake place and this weekend I'm running the MTC Marathon.

That's the outline. Maybe I'll flesh it out when I'm not bummed out at losing the big game in Washington. Maybe these guys will help.
