Now winterized...

The weather threw us it's last curveball. It wasn't supposed to be raining this morning. Anyway doing the last clean up on Imagination we got drenched. The water systems are now full of pink RV antifreeze. When we ready to go home when the tasks were done, the sun came out and it started getting warm. Grrrrrrr! On Tuesday Imagination will be on the hard for the winter and we won't be in untill the first of May.

Hair cut this afternoon.

Going to skip out early today to get a hair cut at Ralph's in Glenside.

My hair.... at least what's left of it.

Anyway, I'm sure there will be Phillies Phever at Ralph's. That place is just baseball crazy normaly. The Series will make that place just that much more.


Now I just gotta find out how I can get someone from Idaho to pay for my cut......

...Hey you!! Ralph's is Cash only!!!!!

One week down....

Find time for the gym is always a problem after work, there is always an excuse or something to do. Going in the morning and moving my schedule up a half to an hour seems to be working. I put together 5 straight mornings going to the gym. ( yeah for me! ) Now if do it again next week ... I'll have a habit.

But getting up a 5:15am to for the gym is kicking my @ss!!!!

Hair cut in Idaho???

Yesterday I bought a couple of funny Tee shirts from SnorgTees.com. A couple of hours later some one was having their hair cut in Idaho with my credit card number. Luckily my bank pick up the fraud and stopped the card.

I sent snorgtees.com an e-mail and no response. I may be guessing but someone there is getting a little on the side selling credit card numbers........

So let me make this as simple as possible......

DON'T BUY FROM SNORGTEES.COM!!!!!!

unless you want to pay for hair cuts in Idaho,

Morning workout

Changing my routine. I'm going to try and hit the gym in the morning before I go to work. The YMCA is on the way to the train station. Seemed to workout OK this morning. I felt pretty good and it did not get me too far off schedule.

Let's see how it progresses through out the week.

Home bound weekend

Stay at home weekend. We slept late and did stuff around the house. The Davis Vantage Pro was less than it's staid precision self on Saturday and said that it was "raining cats and dogs" .... really that's what it said! Cleared up a bunch of stuff that I was getting a round to. Also I fixed a few model airplanes and helicopters for use during the clubs indoor fly later this month. Next week we'll finish taking the boat out of the water. Has to be out by Nov 1.

Road Trip by the Numbers....

9 hours driving each way
580 miles each way
2 tanks of fuel
51 MPG on the way home ( WOW! )
4 nights away from home
2 meetings
1 training class
1 boat trip on Watauga Lake
1 sunset on the lake
1 Five Guys Hamburger for lunch
3 packages waiting for me on the porch
1 one more day of work this week!
1 good nights sleep before I begin that work day.

On the Road Again....

Drove down to Johnson City Tenn. today. I'm glad I did not fly. The drive was gorgeous! I drove down 81, along the Blue Ridge Mts. With the rain the colors of the trees were just outstanding! luscious greens, fiery reds, oranges, yellows. The fall colors are not peaked yet but today was just incredible. So after this week of meetings I'm hoping the colors will be as vivid.

The new VW diesel worked great! I popped in the Boss and Keb' Mo', sat back and drove. It's about 550 miles and I did it on one tank! 43 mpg for the ride down. I only stopped for Starbuck's Espressos and the required bathroom breaks. This car is great for long trips.

Theater Night!

Meg, Marilyn and I went up to the Black Sheep to have dinner and drinks. The food there is great and Black and Tans there super. The highlight of dinner was hard pear cider from California Cider Co.

After dinner we went to Plays and Players theater to see the 1812 Production's "The First Day of School,A Soccermom Sex Farce". It a comedy about a couple who drops off their kids for the first day at school and realising that they have the rest of the day off and they ask themselves the question "What are we going to to do today? Movies.. Home Repair.. Sex with other people.. Biking... Sex with other people!!!!! It's just a scream as they bring in other Soccer Moms and Dads and the questions and consequences of it all.

So don't be just standing under the basket yelling " I'm Open I'm Open " just go before October 25th

Downrigging.....

We took Monday off, Columbus day. So we stretched our weekend in Rock Hall for a day. Spent the day doing a walk around the town. Fall colors are creeping in, boats are starting to get lifted out for the season. Back to the boat and we downrigged, took off our sails for the season. Next time we come we'll winterize the water systems and it'll be ready for the long winter sleep.

We do have one more weekend though!

Cocktails at sunset......

The Bay has a palette of colors that it brings out at the end of the day. It just splashes them in the evening sky, reds, pinks, purples. It just takes your breath away as the one that you are seeing is more magnificent than yesterdays.

We were having cocktail on the desk watching the evening show with friends. We swapped stories of great anchorages on the Bay. Next year we are going have a few more raftups with friends.

Last weekend at the boat....

This is the last fun weekend at the boat before we have to put it up for the winter. It's drizzly down here but it's nice to curl up on the couch with a book down here. The Annapolis Boat show is running this weekend. We may end up there and look around. A better idea is to get away from the dock and anchor out in Swan Creek for the weekend. Just as soon as the rain stops.....

Crossing the street...

On my way to Starbucks this morning for my Monday eyeopener. I was crossing 18th street and my foot got caught in a hole! Struggled for a second and TIMBER! over I went. Next thing I know I'm staring at a car bumper. Jumped up brushed my self off, and back on my way for my coffee none the worse for wear. That bumper scared the crap out of me.
