Managed to get the grass cut today and put some finishing touches on the yard for Halloween tomorrow. Also started the first of many times cleaning leaves from the yard. That project should be finished sometime in early December. I swear my tree holds on to its leaves just to see how many times it can get me to blow and rake them.
Also freed up some time this evening to get some flying in. I managed to get five planes in the air including the handsome fellow in the picture. While the winds were not kind at first, they eventually settled down and the flying was great.
This evening you can find me glued to the TV at 10 pm watching Everest Beyond The Limit. I watched the entire series last year and have been looking forward to this year. I was amazed to find out that once you enter what they call the death zone, you must be able to walk off or your left there to die. I guess the bright side is the trip to heaven will be shorter at 29,000 feet. I still can't figure out why anyone would climb it knowing the risk. The mountain always wins and NO ONE leaves it with out paying a price. At a minimum you'll have frost bite.
I will post about Halloween tomorrow. Please have a safe and happy one and tell Live, "C" and Reece to save Uncle Scot some candy.

Well, we'll have fun "tricks or treats'ing" as Sally from the Peanuts calls it. But it won't be the same without Uncle Scot and Aunt Lori in tow. Remember that beautiful balmy night when Liv was about 3yo? It was the year she was a bunny. Full harvest moon, balmy breeze and about 60ยบ that night. Mighty nice!
I'll take pictures though, so you'll get to see their big night. They're soooo excited.
Watched Charlie Brown tonight. Love that silly cartoon. Didn't get to watch Everest, but will try again next week. I did read up on the website. And like you, I'm fascinated (in a "what are you thinking?" kind of way) with why anyone feels the need to do it, given the enormous risk. I've watched some documentaries on Everest and they were chilling (no pun intended).
K, gotta run. That plane is sharp, btw. Happy flying! It was a beautiful day here and I'm assuming it was there as well. Oh, they closed down the aeration fountain for the year in our pond. Eery silence!
Love ya,
Pone
