Yep! Good plan! We aren't having the tires put on yet, but the auto shop (owned by my sis/bil) ordered the tires for us now so we could get the rebate. BUT we will be wanting new tires b/f the snow flies!!! Always something...No kidding!
I had to have another repair before our travels last week, and I knew I needed the brake pads by my next oil change, too, so I thought why not...get them all done before the snow flies.
Nice! Our office party consists of closing up shop at noon the last day of work before Christmas break & having pizza & beer in the office. Not complaining - they don't even have to do that, but it sure would be nice to get outa here... at least go to the tavern up the road for pizza. Oh well!

Good Morning, Late October Travelers.
And traveling on we are, toward the first of a string of four holidays!
Shall we take a look at our progress?
(I'll take that as a "yes".)
Days to Halloween: 5 (Incredibly close now, to that first holiday!)
Days to the Season: 18 (Barely over 2 1/2 weeks remain!)
Days to Christmas Day: 60 (UNDER the 2 month mark!)
(Hey. This is really starting to get interesting!)
Well, the predicted cool-down arrived right on schedule yesterday and I had to wear a light jacket all day.
Today should be a carbon copy until warmer weather appears tomorrow. And that is predicted to carry on through most of next week!
Currently, we are at 46 degrees here in the capital city.
OK, Guys!
Tonight is the LAST open house of the month and also the LAST open house before Halloween. Carl's big pre-Halloween bash has been all prepared and is awaiting us at the 'Pines.
There will be the usual Halloween decorations (Carl excells at this!) along with the customary black and orange frosted Fired Twinkies.
Halloween movies will air in the 'Pines theater and, no doubt, Carl will attempt to experiment on us with some kind of pumpkin-blend concotion.
(Oh well, why not give it a try for the "spirit" of the season.)
See you there --- if you dare!
Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!

You make me realize how fortunate we are - the auto shop mentioned above - one of their locations is in the same industrial park that I work in, so when we need repairs/upkeep I drive that vehicle to work, they pick it up & bring it back before I go to lunch! I guess we are pretty spoiled!
Hope you can get it all done! xx
Hope Greece is doing well!
That would be nice but maybe a cup tonight will be nice also!
They are nice...and the Christmas bonu$ we get makes it even nicer!Christmas parties are a nice tradition. Too bad Wal-Mart got away from them, but then those are some of the unfortunate changing times.
I need some of that strong stuff tonight too!
Thanks Crown! Looking forward to the Halloween bash tonight!
Good Wednesday Morning MMC! Happy Pines Day. We woke up to temps in the 30s this morning and it definitely hit me a little bit. I overslept by a half hour (oops) which rarely ever happens. I think that I needed it after the other night a certain someone taking over my bed at 2:30AM. Still got to work on time by moving around my routine this morning. Going to the Chinese buffet tonight. Should be fun...and can anyone believe this weekend is going to be Halloween weekend? Unreal...
Have a great Wednesday!
Have a great Wednesday!
Sounds like a great night! I bet Carolina loved it!
Merry Pines Day Ryan! I hope today is less crazy for you!! Tonight at the Pines will be crazy enough!
Enjoy that nice, cool weather, Edge! Oh, and Lulu is a bed-hog, too.
Good morning MMC! Merry Pines Day!! What a dark & dreary day!! It's finally starting to look a little bit like daylight outside. It was dark as night this morning! (at least from the inside looking out!) And the rain is COLD!!! Our house has lost a degree every night this week - Monday morning was 68º in the house, Tuesday was 67º, this morning was 66º ~ getting closer to turning on that furnace! Thankfully the fireplace warms it up quick, but the day is coming!
Not much going on today. We are getting a new accounting software at work, so they sent me a demo version to make myself familiar with it. Should be interesting. So as of now I have no accounting software b/c I had to close out the books yesterday & we will start with the new software on Nov. 1st. Fun, fun!
Tonight we are going to the funeral viewing of my cousin. He passed away Saturday night.
My family are all meeting at Moms, going together & then we'll go out to eat afterwards. Not exactly the thing anyone ever looks forward too!
Hope you are all off to a good Pines Day start!

Oh my gosh!! I love it!! Now I want one!!Here's a picture of the TV set that I picked up, the picture doesn't do it justice. Much nicer in person. There's lights, music, animation. Super cute

(looks like someone else is pretty interested in it too )
Great idea! Merry Pines Day!
Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!
I did a little work outside yesterday afternoon, and fought mosquitoes the whole time. I was hoping the more moderate weather would have thinned out the herd a bit, but no. My only revenge? Since I'm on a blood thinner, I can imagine what it tastes like to them LOL!
My mom just called from the mountains to tell me that the guy who shakes her pecans trees and picks up the pecans is coming...today. He called her, and since she's not around, I guess I'll have to ask off work this afternoon to help load the bags of pecans and take them to the market. I hate asking for time-off on the day I need it. Oh, well.
I hope y'all have a great day!

Glad to hear inventory went well. It's hard to imagine 10,000 lbs of turkey!
Enjoy your day off!- Status
