Well....

We have been in Sacramento for the past few days. Here for Thanksgiving and will have about twenty people at our house here if all invited come.

Spook is safely under cover here in Sacramento and will have an additional cover if the one I ordered ever gets here.

New grandson is thriving and getting better looking each day. (He is now seventeen days old.)

We will have to return to Reno pretty soon, if the snow and Caltrans allows. Have to get the snow off the sidewalk in front of our house there. (The homeowners' association is a bit touchy about this kind of thing.)

I really enjoyed the "BIG GAME" last night. Both teams deserved to win and played very well. Daughter, Stanford graduate, did not enjoy it much, but such are the vicissitudes of life.

Must wander on now. Y'all take care hear?

This is a place called Biltmore. It is the estate of the Vanderbilts.

Great trip

Fall Time

It is a bit foggy in Sacramento this morning. It began with a bit of beautiful sun, but the fog came in on creeping feet.

Took Spook to the shop this morning. The engine is not running smoothly, there is too much exhaust noise and I somehow picked up a broken glass in my left front headlight.

You can bet that my wallet will be a bit lighter after this experience.

Nobel Peace Prize

Hmm! For what? Do you suppose that Rangel will win it next ypear?

Beautiful Day in Sacramento

Yup! It is another one of those. The sun is shining and there isn't a cloud in the sky. Not too hot and not too cold. (As Goldilocks one said)

I have a SIR meeting tomorrow and after, getting the minutes written and emailed, we shall return home to Reno.

It is getting to that time of year, so we shall probably not stay in Reno much for the rest of 09, but it would be kinda nice to have the family up there for a Xmas in the snow. (Not much chance of that. We competer with in-laws over the grand children these days.)

No real snow on the ground in Reno yet, but we have shut off the water system to the yard. Don't want frozen pipes and equipment.

Other than shoveling and driving in the stuff, snow is actually quite pretty most of the time. My electric snow blower makes it much easier these days and now that I almost have the knack of it, snow removal goes rather smoothly.

Well, we have theater tonight, so must start preparing for that eventuality.

Y'all take care hear?
