Mornings here have been in the 20's! Yesterday (Friday) was 21 degrees. Guess Ken's going to have to winterize the trailer before we go to Winnemucca at the end of the month or so if this keeps up. This morning it's 26 at 0630. The afternoons are warm enough in the sun you can take your jacket off, still cool in the shade though. Guess Fall is here!
Ken's been working on the outhouse and it's coming together nicely. He is a perfectionist when it comes to these kinds of things, so it seems slower going but in the end I know it'll be worth it.

Our neighbor Karen came over to see what it was I wanted aged and told us she has tons that was already aged. Her hubby, John calls it junk and wants it out of there! What!? We went next door and got plenty of tin that is wonderful in our eyes (and hers too). There's plenty to do the wall and to do the roof. Ken's putting on a regular comp roof and then we'll lay this over for looks!
I worked on my Christmas quilt..Done! I'm happy with the way it turned out. So on to the Christmas pillows for the bed. I got one pillow done and then my iron died. It's so old I don't even remember when I got it. So off to Walmart and Lowe's probably tomorrow.
I was in the mood for some chili, so made a veggie chili yesterday and I have to say it was really good. Ken finished his chicken and potato salad for dinner so I'll add some ground turkey or chicken to his for Saturday night's dinner. That's the one thing with chili, there's always leftovers and I think it's always better the next day.
Saturday: Our other neighbor, Joe came over last night and we're going to meet his family at Dini's for breakfast this morning. Awesome breakfast as always and good company too!
Our youngest son, Russell and a few of his friends started a beer drinking group a few years ago. Just some guys sampling different craft beers. Well, it's grown to over 11,000 people on Facebook now. Beer drinkers from all over. Yesterday in Antelope they held their first Golf Tournament in Antelope, CA. Sounds like it was a success along with being a fundraiser for Paradise Oaks Youth Services, benefiting foster kids. They've done other fundraisers but this is the first Golf Tournament. So I had to share...

Looks like our middle son Eric had his work cut out for him. His well pump gave it up and he pulled it out and replaced it by himself. He is good like his dad in things like that.

| Two hundred feet of well tubing to get to the pump underground. |
It's a beautiful Saturday here in Yerington. Hope it a great day wherever you are..
Wow, lots of stuff going on there! That outhouse looks great! Hard to slow a good man down, eh? Cool nights, hmm, we may not be going to Pahrump this time across. It was a jello thought, but of course we wouldn't be high up where you are.
ReplyDeleteBeer tourny, too fun! I'm not a beer drinker so not of the elite group! :)
