Spending Saturday

Well it was a real fall Saturday. Cool morning kept cool all day long with a wind that bit in. Finally got Ann moving out of the house by 11 and we went back to ABC Appliance and purchased a new refrigerator and a washer/dryer duet. Frig is by Amana and the laundry equipment is of Whirlpool make. They are scheduled to be delivered and hooked up Nov. 14....after Katie's wedding. Katie seems to have everything in good shape. I have to give her credit for being well organized and keeping to a schedule that will not wear her out before the big day. Ann and I went to Casco today to buy 17 toss away cameras to be used at the reception. We then had lunch at Bugaboo where the wait staff was dressed Halloween. Our waitreess thad painted on a beard and mustash.

Byron got a new HD 37" monitor delievered today. He had it hooked up with the hour and it sure is pretty. Great clean, bright color. Ann and I may buy his old HD that he thought was sold Wed. but the guy buying it never showed up. With HD going to be mandated in the future, we might as well buy in now and take advantage of the new programming that is coming on stream. Byron discovered that Mr. Wilson, his tabby cat, was in a fight again...came home last night with a cut in his side and some other scrapes and scratches. The puppies are great. Aspen napped in my lap in the green recliner for a good half hour this afternon while we watched Penn State win football again. OSU might upset Texas tonight, but that is is only if Texas does not catch up in the 4th quarter.

Rainy Saturday

Well, another day of light rain. The pups were bored being inside, so I just took them out and played ball with them for 15 minutes. Now they are resting. Our next door neighbor had a surprise 50th birthday party for his wife last night. About 60 people, few known to Ann and I. Catered food was good. Guitar players were LOUD... the house is beautiful, the traffic flow is much nicer than when Carlsons lived there, and I like how Laurie has decorated the big rooms.
Went to barbers this morning at 8:30 and Frank now has a son Frank. Baby and mother doing well ... Frank says down at 11 up at 2 and then sleeps until 6. Frank is a happy, proud Dad. And his dad, Mike, is a very proud grandpa. It was slow in the shop this morning...guess due to the rain. Just me and another early riser.
Forgot my wallet, but my security stash paid the bill. Next haircut is 8 am Nov. 12, morning of Katie's wedding.

Feeling down

Well the stock market continues its downward spiral. Not much fun to post the numbers recent nights. Harry says stick it out, but it is getting harder and harder to bite the bullet waiting for the tide to turn. If it is this bad for a little investor, think what the billionaires must be loosing. Well, new PR Director due to start Monday and hopfully will take some of the presure off.
