Do You Like Football? :o)

As any of you that read Beth and me know, we take our football seriously. On Facebook, one of my high school friends posted this, and I just had to share it with you, especially since I know that some readers are not really that into sports. The title is "3 Reason Women Don't Like Foot Ball." There are three separate clips, so keep watching until the end. I sure am glad that my little woman likes football :o)

Kind of a lazy morning, but about 2:00 PM, I headed out to get some yard chores done. I love this time of year, not to hot, and still sunny. A shirt and jacket (the jeans are a given :o), and you are good to go. Today's main task was to fire up the chainsaw and cut up a tree that fell across our marsh path. Then, as long as I had the chainsaw out, I cut down a bush and a tree that were on the edge of the path to allow me to mow it a little wider.

Next was to fire up the blower and clear the leaves from the deck, the driveway, the front yard, and part of the back yard. After a good two hours, I came in and had worked up a nice little sweat. There is nothing better to me than toiling on our property. I try and get at least one task done each weekend, but soon the snow will be here, and then it will be indoor tasks and some workouts in the garage.

Tonight will be Da Bears.

Hope your Sunday was pleasant as well.

Happy Weekend :o)

Quiet night tonight. Beth went to Chicago today for a Cubs game with her sisters and BIL Tom (he is a great guy). They are not home yet, hence the quietness. It is kind of weird not having her here to greet me when I walk in the door.

My plan was to get out early from work, and run some errands. I was partially successful, did get out after a 9-1/2 hour day, but I had only planned on an 8 hour day today. I was able to get my errands done, consisting of work candy, another mirror for the garage (workout area), and 14 bags of water softener salt (seven for the truck and two for each Mustang for winter preps, the rest for the softener).

On the down side, the work day ended with a group meeting with our VP, and his statement was "I always tell you if this is a coaching session or an ass chewing, and This Is An Ass Chewing." Not a good way to end the day, and the next week or two will be challenging. Not worth going into details here, every job has its challenges.

Needless to say, I feel wiped and am definitely ready for the weekend. Tomorrow will be low keyed, doing things around the house, then watching the Irish successfully take on Michigan. On Sunday we are going to a local Nature Conservancy location for a private guided tour, and then Sunday night it is "DA BEARS".

Hope you have a great weekend planned, I know that the weather is expected to be great here.
