Where are we today?

           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.
Hooking up the trailer
off the lot
around the corner 
just enough room
and out the gate
a nice light rainbow for the departure
         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
Joe, Choco and Tucker
         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.

  1. 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?

  2. I remember when the girls were little, and they would carve pumpkins. What fun to watch the grandkids.
    Hope Suzie's appointment went well.

  3. 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

  4. After 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....

    1. We got spoiled with the hot weather, I more prefer it to this cool damp stuff.
      Always best to back them up, because it is not if a hard drive will fail, but when and eventually it will.

  5. 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!
