Back from our maiden voyage!

We are back in Sacramento after a maiden voyage aboard our land schooner (SPOOK) (Motor Home) down the southen Calilfornia coast from Monterey to San Juan Capistrano.

It was a great trip and I enjoyed it very much. The dogs came with us and the only negative happening was that Winston picked up a flea.

Not a problem! WE had both dogs groomed and bathed today with special anti flea shampoo, etc.

The trip was well worth it and we got to see the grandson again. Yea!

Y'all take care hear?

Here in Sacramento

Yup! WE are here in Sacramento and have been here for several days. Just got the new addition to our auto collection (20 foot self contained motor home) through Donner Pass before a snow storm hit in force and closed the road.

Spouse's brother is here in town from Australia. We shall take him up to Reno with us, but will only stay one night. Snow is predicted for Saturday afternoon and evening and he has to catch his flight home on Monday. No undue chances will be taken that might make him miss that flight out of SFO.

May be able to try out my snow blower for the first time. Purchased it in July and, of course, have not had the opportunity to use it yet.

We plan to wander on down to Yorba Linda on Friday. Need to help out with our new grand child for a couple of days.

Sure is sunny here today. Guess I will go take a nap.

Y'all take care hear.

Whoa! Cloudy!

Yeah, we have a bit of overcast here in Reno this morning. Supposed to rain in the next couple of days. Sure hope so. Need the moisture big time.

No snow predicted yet, so still have tme to winterize the sprinkler system.

Warmed a bit!

We are back in Sacramento. The weather is warmer than it has been with the six am temperature in the mid fifties.

I had outpatient surgery yesterday morning. (Mole removal on my chest.) Have stitches and the spot is still a bit sore, but there was very little pain. Guess the dermatologist did a good job.

Now we only have to wait for the lab results to see if there is cancer there and determine whether or not more surgery or whatever is required.

JoAnne is headed south to Yorba Linda to play with Bud for a week. I shall stay either here in Sacrament or up in Reno with the two dogs.

I have duties to perform here in Sacramento, so will probably be back and forth a few times in the next week. For sure, I have to be back on the twenty-ninth to have stitches removed. That is just as well because that is the day that JoAnne returns from her grandparenting duties.

Enough for now.

Y'all take care hear?

Pretty cold

Yeah, especially for mid-October. If this keeps up, I shall have to start wearing my mittens in the morning when I walk the dogs.

Whoa! The Rams upset the Redskins and I saw Houston score the winning touchdown with seven seconds remaining.

Haven't seen the results, but the Saints were ahead the last time I saw their game.

Pretty amazing. Too bad the Karma is all gone. SF could use a bit of it against Philly.

Oh well.

Home on the Range

One more time, I experience the frustration of facing elements that are out of my control big time. The stock market has just opened down three hundred points again and the drop in values continues to continue.

Pundits from the right are scrambling to blame the left for the market drop. Don't understand how folks not in power are now to blame. Live and learn I guess.

I am not really either panicky or surprised. I have very little invested in stock, with a majority of my portfolio in bonds. I sure hurt for those who are in deep trouble now though.
