As the cooler weather begins to settle in over the Midwest, I started to think about winterizing my bike. Over the years I have read many opinions about how this winterization process should actually be accomplished. Here’s an article on the subject that is right up my alley. It is entitled, “Half A$$ Winterization”.

I hope everyone has a safe day!

check out some of these pumpkin carving ideas. Very Cool!

Good Morning! Autumn has arrived and settled in, on the Miami Valley. As I let the dog out this morning, I took quick inventory of the various chores I need to complete around my yard in the next 2 weeks.

Safety Inspection on the fireplace.
Replace a few loose shingles on the shed.
Order extra firewood.
Clean out the gutters.
Cut down the Walnut tree.
Service the mower, and trimmer etc.

I am certain there are more chores that will come to mind, but this will keep me busy for a while. Here’s a few more photos we took on Sunday, these are on the campus of Wittenberg University.

*I had a profitable day at work, a couple more like this and I will meet my projections. I had to work over an hour, but it was well worth it.

*Jonathan’s band, “Somewhere Between” is doing well, they are booked almost every weekend in November. I am very proud of him.

*A friend of mine said good bye to me this week. I will miss them.

*I should call my mom.

*We are now able to put a gravestone on my father’s grave. I doubt he cares much about that.

*I have never been very good at close relationships.

*I guess I will go watch the football game with Ethan.

I am back at work after having a nice weekend off. There are three selling days remaining in October, and I am a little behind my projections. Most customers wait until the end of the month to buy a vehicle, because they believe they will receive a greater discount. This is a well versed myth, but it does cause floor traffic to increase, which is good for me! Hope you have a great day!

Ethan’s photo shoot went well. We were at the studio for about two hours. Later in the afternoon, Michelle, and Jonathan, joined me for a ride to take Fall photos of some local scenery! Here’s a few samples…

My wife, Michelle, and my son, Jonathan, joined me on an afternoon ride. We spent some time riding around our home taking in the Fall scenery. Here’s a few photos…

It is a beautiful Sunday, and I plan to take advantage of it. I am going to grab my camera, jump on the bike, and explore some old country roads. It will be a lazy ride, one for the sole purpose of finding that perfect shot! No destination, just discovery. I will let you know how it turns out! have a great day!

The sunlight is dancing off of the hues of red, and gold, of the stately old trees, which line my street, it is simply a beautiful start to my my Sunday morning.

I will accompany Ethan this morning, as he is getting his Senior pictures taken. For you who have gone through this, you know it can be a lengthy ordeal, and neither Ethan, or myself, our known to possess a great deal of patience. This could get very ugly!

This afternoon, I plan to ride, and shoot some landscape photos of the Fall colors in my area.

Last night Michelle and I , attended the viewing for her friend, Becky. I met her husband, and twenty year old son, who is simply devastated over his mother’s loss. The funeral will be this morning. Very sad! Life sucks sometimes!

By the way, have any of you seen the kid who will rake the leaves in your entire yard for like; $3.00? If you do, tell him I am looking for him! Have a Great Sunday!
