Well, we had to close the trailer as is necessary around the first of
October. If we were able to properly winterize it ourselves we could keep it
open till late October but the companies that provide winterizing will
not guarantee that they will get it done before the first freeze if you
wait past the first weekend of October to have the winterizing done by
them. There are a lot of park models and very few providers of
winterizing services. So our visits there are now done for the year.
I got a 2nd monitor for my desktop at home and had to re-organize the
office to accommodate the expanded desktop space necessary. After a
day and a half the wife and I have finished the movement of furniture
and I am working with two 23" monitors. It is very nice when I can have
both the source and the live view up on screens at the same time. No
more switching between browser windows for me. It is an improvement and
I am lucky to find the space necessary. If you haven't tried to use
two monitors I highly recommend that you jump in. You will never go
back.
It is important to get the monitors together and to verify that
they both display colors correctly. Not all systems are dual monitor
capable but a new video card is all that it would take to upgrade your
system to allow two monitors.
Are you excited about Halloween? My bride is going nuts trying to
get the front porch ready to excite the kiddies when they come for their
treets. It is really cool what she has been able to create. It even
gets me surprised when I walk up onto the porch. It will be fun to see
the responses on the spooky evening. We wish you and your family a fun
and safe Halloween.
The days are getting colder now and it gets dark so early. I can
hardly wait till the time change when it will get darker even earlier.
My dog is dumb and will go after anything that looks like a cat -
especially a skunk. Skunks come out after dark and I need to walk the
dog every evening and now it is dark when we are out for the nightly
walk. I carry a flashlight to see what is in front of us and try to
avoid what ever critter may be there. Once we have freeze the skunks
will sleep more and come out less so the risk will be minimized but I
will still need to be aware of our surroundings. It is a major issue to
deodorize a dog after an encounter with a skunk and in the winter it is
even harder.
Well I think I have said enough for this post so I will bring it to a
close. I hope all of you have an enjoyable and safe fall and are able
to enjoy Halloween.
Till next post - Be well and be safe.
