Right now I'm sipping a well earned beer/painkiller. I'm on the 3rd load of laundry. I've cleaned & semi set up one shelf of crystal, done my normal morning stuff, made lunch for my step father & the puppies & I'm sure that there more that I don't remember. My back pretty much locked up while making the display of crystal so I've only started moving well after my 2nd beer. So while waiting for this load of laundry to dry I'm watching the Disney Swamp Fox on U-Tube. That was made back when Disney had a well earned name for family entertainment.

Oh & the hard part.....I suggested & got approved the set up of a mini shelf of crystal (she even said that it was a good idea). And suggested & got it semi approved for a big shelf set up. What's more on that big shelf I don't have to do anything but clean the crystal & set it up, she has to pick the pieces. All & all getting something done & putting my wife in the position of having to help, it's a good day.
 
A buggy accident on our road this morning. At the end of the road was church this morning, so lots of buggies going past our house. A neighbor on the way there has a huge dog named Otis that likes to chase wheels and horses, and we're pretty much used to him, but he ran out in front of a horse not used to him. Tipped the buggy. Very pregnant wife is ok, husband has a broken collar bone. Both at the ER in the bigger town. Otis is a problem.
 
I was hoping to see her famous toenail polish!! She's going to have to take another picture!!
I need to paint them again...I thought I was going to lose the one I almost ripped off a month ago..my big toenail..
I tore it half ish way off but smashed it back down and it appears to kinda have attached itself back..kinda..
It ain't perdy...

I did remove the offending air vent..
 
Where the air vent used to be..
Gone to the dump..toekiller!!
Slapped a peice of 1x4 in the hole over some expanding foam to plug the air vent hole, central air in this place doesn't work anyway..
Then put a peice of that plastic tile over it..
The colors kinda match..

When I first looked at the pic I thought it resembled the Nazi symbol.
 
High barometer so warming for a nice weekend and start of next week.. Have had a few cooler days the end of last week with a couple frosts in the area and a hard freeze on the north shore of the big lake.. Some of the tree leaves are turning color and starting to fall.. The danger is we are under an extreme grass, forest fire danger now..

I have a big slow cooker bubbling away of my world famous ..cowboy beans.. for the last cook out of the season here.. Burgers, bratwurst, beans, potato salad, pumpkin desert items..

This evening it is only a half block walk from the ..wrinkle ranch.. up to the route of the 1st of 3 Halloween parades of the season.. This will be the school kids parade, the best one of the lot to see..

Hope all are doing well..
Do you have a recipe for this world famous delight? 🤓
Have some cranberry scones in the oven and I’m drinking some coffee. I need to rest after church today. The last three weeks have been nonstop. Hopefully we will get the last of the canning stuff put away for the “season “ and the island will emerge again. I think we have the oldest young manfolks car woes taken care of. After having a boulder fall on his car at 35mph, he has a settlement and has purchased a replacement. We spent most of yesterday cleaning and fixing the minor issues with the new one. Headlights are shiny, seats are clean both on top and under (ewe!), and a bunch plastic tabs are replaced. Only real maintenance item we needed to address was a new set of spark plugs because the original ones were way past changing time. I’m looking forward to just hanging out on the couch for a day!
I was wondering where you were. Now I know: on the couch, watching soaps, eating bonbons 😂

Did some ironing. Went to church ⛪️. Came home and got busy putting the garden to bed. Began pulling tomatoes. Today was almost 80 😲 and tomorrow is supposed to be raining. I usually have the garden tucked in by the beginning of Oct. Everything was so late, it will be beginning of November. Hubby made a batch of smoked Trinidad scorpion 🦂 hot sauce but is still working up the courage to try it 😂
