We headed south to Hadlock Field one more time this year.  Tony wanted to include Al and Deb on the family baseball experience so we loaded two vehicles and nearly ran a tank of fuel through them.  It seemed like Musical Chairs with the cars and people, but things settled down after Newport.  Deb and… Continue reading »

Cheap rock crabs at Hannaford tonight ($2.99/lb).  Why not.  I didn’t bring any lobster home this summer, so I thought I’d treat myself to some cheap crab.  A lot of work, but it was very sweet.  Nathan tried it and said he’d eat it in a survival situation… oh, OK.  

I grabbed another ton of pellets today, this time I received hardwood. OK, they finally had my second ton available.  Production at the plant here in Corinth hasn’t been going as smooth as the owners would like I suppose.  They had another small fire recently and getting the hardwood machines in place and operating have… Continue reading »

Well, now you can.  Nathan received his first pair of Rx glasses today.  He had an eye exam this spring and was borderline.  Recently he’s been complaining a lot more about not seeing things (animals while driving, etc) so we visited the eye Dr. last week.  He’d fallen off the fence, the wrong side.  So… Continue reading »

Nathan started school today.  Third grade.  He was sort of ready.  It’s still school, but he was ready to see his pals again and maybe meet some new kids.  We’re going to try the Late Duty scene this year.  That should help me finish my work day without interruptions and give him some extra play time with… Continue reading »

I’ve been meaning to take this shot for two weeks now. (can’t you tell? This was taken at 40mph out the front window!) This tree is a mile down the road and started turning at least three weeks ago.  Ok, so it’s one of those early trees.  But still, it’s changing.  We saw a lot… Continue reading »

This was the first time this year I’ve had the kayak out for a paddle.  It’s definitely been a motorcycle year. I did take the kayak over to the fish pond earlier and practiced my roll, that went well.  But this was the first time I’ve had the chance to paddle.  Nathan and his friend… Continue reading »

We all got together for Al’s birthday supper and had a the chance to take a photo of the “Libby” side of the family.  Everyone held still to get at least two photos from at least 3 cameras!  Wow, we done good.  

I had Dana come over and pull some stumps with the tractor today (no photos).  While he was here I noticed a hornets nest up in under the eaves.  I don’t normally observe much on that side of the house, so one task turned into two.  I still had a can of Raid from a… Continue reading »

The ‘ol pot hole in the driveway keeps getting bigger and bigger.  I don’t think this will help much, but I had to try something.  I grabbed 200lbs of cold patch and tossed it in the hole and maybe that’ll slow the growth of it. Time will tell.
