This is fall weather but really not too bad yet. Overcast and rainy a bit and not too cold. Hey that's wonderful, So I need a light jacket and long pants, we can do that.
My first walkabout noticed the truck coming into the park at 7:35 am gonna take Bob and Mary's park model trailer out today. They took the Florida room yesterday. So I wandered over to check out the process. It was ready to go. Back the truck in hook up the trailer and away they went. A 12 ft by 40 ft park model and they passed through the gate at 8 am ! 25 minutes they are not going too far about an hour and will probably have it set up today too.

Suzie has a doctor's appointment in Stratford for 11:30 this morning so we packed a lunch and headed on out. Only an hours drive through the back country roads. Dropped her off and I headed over to the Staples in town to pick up an external DVD burner for my Mac, $50 bucks. The internal one is giving me issues. This is a simple fix and less expensive than a repair, plus Suzie can use it on her PC as well. I have a lot of years of photos that I want to back up on disk. While at Staples ran into Brian and his wife from Rock Glen (small world), Chatted with them for a bit, picked up Suzie at noon and we enjoyed our lunch and shared an order of fries from Mc D's. (her request).
On the drive home a local farmer had pumpkins for sale, So we stopped in and picked up 7 small ones for our Grands to carve if they like next weekend for our Canadian Thanksgiving. (Yup we have 7 grands now!)

| lots to choose from |
 |
| we have enough now |
Home before 2pm and checked out the new DVD burner and works wonderful. I will put it to work even more over the next few days. Want to burn a few hundred thousand photos to disc before purging from my hard drive. They are already on my back up drive, but ya k now that can fail too.
Then Gerry and Tucker stopped by (doggie fix for Suzie) then Joe and Choco dropped in too, so we had a nice Happy 1/2 hour but by then it was getting chilly.

| Tucker got a treat |

So inside to prep our salad. Fire up our Weber Q to grill a couple turkey garlic sausage that we love, so lean and healthy and do get our garlic sausage fix too.
 |
| really love these Turkey Garlic sausage |
 |
| Sure was tasty and healthy too |
That was it for another productive day, enjoying the good life and wrapping up things before our southern migration. To chilly and damp to sit out after supper, so inside for the night. Read a bit and maybe a tv show/movie before hitting the sack.
Glad that y'all stopped by and hope you had a wonderful day as well.
Where we have been this summer
Always good to have 2 back ups for your hard drive. Our house came in on truck, 44 X 12, but looking at it now you would never know it. So what are your friends replacing their park home with?
ReplyDeleteThey want to buy another Class B and travel a bit, both healthy and Bob is 88 yrs old.
DeleteI remember when the girls were little, and they would carve pumpkins. What fun to watch the grandkids.
ReplyDeleteHope Suzie's appointment went well.
It is fun watching them go nuts with them very creative.
DeleteSuzie's appointment did go well tks.
DVD burning sounds like a great rainy day project. Our photos are backed up on 3 hard drives which hopefully won't crash all at the same time. Now you've got Denis thinking, oh, oh
ReplyDeleteIt is a great rainy day project. We have the photos backed up on 2 external drives, Now we will had the dvd's that Suzie can view as well on her computer. Need to make more space on my hard drive too.
DeleteAfter such a hot summer, I'm thinking those cooler temps feel pretty good. I'm terrible about (not) backing up my photos and other data. Your reminder gets me to thinking....
ReplyDeleteWe got spoiled with the hot weather, I more prefer it to this cool damp stuff.
DeleteAlways best to back them up, because it is not if a hard drive will fail, but when and eventually it will.
My first attempt at backing up my photos was to DVD's but I soon discovered you cannot fit very many high resolution photos on a DVD. I now have them on two different external hard drives as well as on the huge hard drive in the main computer but when I look at them, all the drives contain slightly different numbers of megabytes so some photos are missing from each of them. Oh boy! Lots of work to do as like you, I have several hundred thousand photos as well. Have fun with your project!
ReplyDeleteYep we busy here doing that, about 3-4 DVDs for each year and does take time.
DeleteIt is fun projects to do on rainy days.
Good thing you stay so busy to ward off that chilly weather! :cD
ReplyDeleteAlways stuff to keep us busy, we do what the weather suits.
DeleteI bet watching them move that trailer entertained you for hours.
ReplyDeleteActually only took them 20 minutes.
